Welcome to SpongeBob Music Minute. Today, we’ll be going in depth into the track “Reach for the Stars”, and we’ll do it all within 60 seconds.
“Reach for the Stars” is an Associated Production Music track composed by Richard A. Harvey, and it made it’s debut in “Help Wanted”. It plays when SpongeBob returns to the Krusty Krab with the brand new spatula he purchased at the Bargain Mart— right before he cooks for the anchovies to send them away. This was the only time in the entire series that this track played. That said, it has apparently played in numerous promos for Disney movies on various VHS and DVD releases.
The track is very Disney-eque, so it makes sense that they have used it in promos. The song has a very “Magical” feel to it. If you close your eyes while you listen, you feel like you’re right there in the Magic Kingdom. The instrumentation is good and, overall, I think it’s a nice track. That said, I can understand why it hasn’t played since, as it really doesn’t fit the style of the show.
Well, that’s all the time we have for today. Until next time, thanks for listening to SpongeBob Music Minute.
