Don't Be a Jerk! (It's Christmas!) | TRIBUTE TO STEPHEN HILLENBURG

Hi everyone and Merry Christmas!! I've finally finished my first semester at CalArts and it really took a toll on content for my channel, but I'm finally on winter break! I spent my first week amongst fellow Thomas friends at the Strasburg Railroad, a place I've always wanted to visit, and I had a great time!
This song is one that's been on my mind for quite some time, and as an avid fan of SpongeBob SquarePants and its music I've decided to cover it for Christmas this year. This video is in memoriam to my hero and CalArts alum Stephen Hillenburg, who has played an important part in shaping my vision as a budding animator and artist.
Enjoy this song, and have a bright Christmas, Happy New Year, and Happy Holidays! God bless!
Song written by Tom Kenny and Andy Paley
Arrangement by One Tram Band

Dear Stephen,
You will always be in our hearts

[Youhadabadday]

The note region of the song, combined with it being a tribute to Stephen Hillenburg, who is now past this mortal realm, it actually makes the song oddly solemn and sad... Rest in Peace Stephen ;C

[JoblyJohnny]

I love how you snuck in "This feels like the very first christmas to me" into the saxophone solo, props!

[expressbean]

Anyone else reminded of a giant LEGO spongebob?

Merry Christmas

[BriceInkling]

All hail Tom Kenny for this song, and special thanks to Stephen Hillenburg as well.

I was feeling upset recently, but this music cover puts a smile on my face.

We need more classic Thomas-renditions of Theatrical Cartoons!

[austinanthony]

I'll admit, I did try to sing a little bit when listening to this. While I still like Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas from last year a bit more, this one definitely comes as a close second. Great job, dude. Also, rest easy Stephen. Merry Christmas, matey!

Ahoy everybody!
SpongeBob here! Christmas means presents and mistletoe, sharing and caring. So during this most festive season, please, don't be a jerk.

(Ooo ooo ooo ooo, ooo ooo)
Bring joy to the world; it's the thing to do
But the world does not revolve around you
Don't be a jerk
It's Christmas
There's a sign above the line that says "Express"
That means ten items or less
Don't be a jerk (Don't be a jerk)
It's Christmas
Be nice to babies and animals, old folks too
'Cause that's how you'd like them to treat you
Use turn signals, don't screen my calls
Don't you wreck the house when you deck the halls
Spit your gum where it won't wind up on my shoe
Squeeze toothpaste from the bottom of the tube
Don't be a jerk (Don't be a jerk)
It's Christmas
It's Christmas!
It's shaping up to be a wonderful holiday!
Not your normal, average everyday!
This Christmas feels like the VERY FIRST CHRISTMAS TO
When others are talking, never interrupt
Don't put people down, or leave the toilet seat up
It's the time for family and holly and turkey
Tis the season to be jolly; not jerky! (Jolly; not jerky!)
Santa brought nearly every gift on your list
Why whine about the one that he missed?
Don't be a jerk (Don't be a jerk) It's Christmas
It's Christmas!
Don't be a jerk (Don't be a jerk)
It's Christmas
Don't be a jerk (Don't be a jerk)
It's Christmas
Don't be a jerk...
It's Christmas!

It’s so cool that you’re going to CalArts! I’m hoping I can apply there after high school, if not that i might join another art college
