After a user uploaded a clip of Ethan performing “Bikini Bottom Day,” the first song in the musical, now thousands of users are trying their hand at doing the dance.
“Full steam ahead The ‘S. S. I Am Ready’ is about to set sail! / This kind of day couldn’t get much better but it keeps on trying / I’m on my way / Somewhere, there’s a Krabby Patty that needs frying / And who’s the lucky sponge in the mirror / Who is living his dream? Who’s always extra careful with his dental hygiene? Gary, it’s me!” SpongeBob sings.
Watch him perform “Bikini Bottom Day” on GMA!
