For those who want context on how important this tribute is, here are more details:
The song “Sweet Victory” is an iconic piece of music featured in the SpongeBob SquarePants episode “Band of Soccers”. In this episode, SpongeBob gathers a group of Bikini Bottom characters to form a band, with the goal of impressing Squilliam Fansison, an arrogant rival of SpongeBob who taunts him that he has never been successful in life.
In the episode’s climax, SpongeBob’s band plays “Sweet Victory” during a sporting event at Burbank Stadium (Bikini Bottom in the original version). The song is an exciting and epic rock piece, complete with chorus and a powerful melody. The SpongeBob SquarePants gang’s performance of “Sweet Victory” is a memorable and triumphant moment in the series, and has been a fan favorite since the original broadcast.
“Sweet Victory” was written and performed by the American rock group David Glenn Eisley and was originally released in 1986 as part of the album “The Lost Tapes” by the AOR rock band “Giuffria”. However, the song’s popularity increased significantly after its use in SpongeBob SquarePants. The song became a symbol of victory and has since been used in numerous memes and sporting events.

Editor’s note: Undoubtedly, it was a dream that many of us had and it is nice to know that it has finally come true. While Stephen should be proud of how far his work has come, it’s a shame that Nickelodeon is handling the franchise in a somewhat over-exploited way in terms of spinoff series.
