A petition to play a SpongeBob Squarepants song at the Super Bowl has received more than one million signatures.
The petition, published on Change.org, argues that the tune should be played during the sporting event on 3 February, 2019 to honour SpongeBob’s late creator Stephen Hillenburg.
While significant, the one million figure represents only a fraction of the audience usually drawn by the Super Bowl.
The song singled out by the petition is Sweet Victory, a power anthem featured in the 2001 episode Band Geeks.
