Corey Taylor Once Covered The Spongebob Squarepants Theme Song Perfectly

When it comes to the greatest song ever, it's hard to find a definitive answer. A lot of people talk about Queen's 'Bohemian Rhapsody', or The Beatles' 'Let It Be'.

However, every list ever made regarding the best songs ever appears to overlook one colossal musical juggernaut - The Spongebob Squarepants Theme Song.

It's overlooked by many simply precedes a television program aimed at young children, but still, the magnificence is easy to see.

So much so that Corey Taylor, who you may know from Slipknot or Stone Sour, once covered it at an acoustic gig.

And when I say covered, I don't mean he half arsed it, I mean he pretty much got it spot on.

The performance occurred a while ago in Orlando, Florida, under the name CMFT (Corey Mother Fucking Taylor). During the intimate show he's able to talk to the crowd and says that he'll play "a few fun ones."

Someone suggests the song about the fictional sponge, to which he says "You want that one?"

He obliges, however, and does it perfectly, strumming only one chord for the bulk of the tune.

It's a bit odd seeing a man who's success has mostly been made while wearing scary, gruesome masks while screaming singing a playful children's song. Still, it's excellent.

Would like to see a supergroup get together and cover this.
