I feel bad for anyone hoping KPop Demon Hunters would win Best Original Song at the Oscars, but I was genuinely moved by the chorus of Ice Spice’s new song, “Big Guy,” from The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants. I didn’t even know this movie existed – I’m not really the target audience – and I’m not familiar with the SpongeBob storyline. But one thing is clear: the phrase “SpongeBob big guy pants okay” is incredibly catchy. It’s stuck in my head, playing on repeat, and honestly, it feels like a surprisingly good life motto.
The new movie, The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants, comes out on Christmas, but we got to hear Ice Spice’s song for it a month early! Both the movie and the song are about SpongeBob trying to prove he’s capable and brave – strong enough for a huge roller coaster or a deep-sea adventure. Often, when popular artists create songs for kids’ movies, the results feel a little flat, like they’re just going through the motions. But Ice Spice’s gentle delivery actually fits perfectly with the song’s theme, “Big Guy.” She doesn’t try to overdo it or act like she’s the star; she simply repeats that SpongeBob is, in fact, a big guy who wears pants, and that’s that!

The song’s verses are packed with playful references to water and the world of SpongeBob SquarePants. Ice Spice cleverly includes lines like “I’m a catch, not a jellyfish” and boasts about blowing bubbles as big as Mrs. Puff. While these nods are fun, the chorus is what truly makes the song stand out. The lyric “SpongeBob big guy pants okay?” might seem strange, but it’s undeniably catchy, simple, and honest. It’s even a bit of a challenge to listeners, encouraging them to embrace something new, just like Ice Spice is doing by creating a song for an animated film. It’s a tune you can easily memorize, and to prove her dedication to the theme, the music video features an orange-haired, Ice Spice-inspired fish.
The Academy Award for Best Original Song usually goes to one of a few kinds of songs: a moving, heartfelt ballad performed by a famous artist (like Billie Eilish’s “What Was I Made For?” from Barbie), a song from a new movie musical (“El Mal” from Emilia Pérez), or a truly catchy hit that becomes popular even outside of the film it’s in (“Naatu Naatu” from RRR). It’s time for another undeniably catchy song to win, and that song is “Big Guy” by Ice Spice from The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants. The song – with its memorable lyrics “Spongebob big guy pants okay” – appeals to everyone, which is rare these days. It deserves to be performed live at the Oscars, with stars like Jessie Buckley, Jeremy Strong, or Cynthia Erivo enjoying the show. Even a seasoned songwriter like Diane Warren would have to admit it’s a standout track. The award is for the best original song, and “Big Guy” is certainly that – completely unique and memorable.
