Pharrell and N.E.R.D. Made a Song for the New ‘SpongeBob’ Movie, Evoke The Beatles: Them

NICKELODEON PHARRELL WILLIAMS

Although Pharrell Williams, the huge-hatted Mr. Happy himself, can seemingly do no wrong lately, his band may have just committed a major musical faux pas.

Resurrecting his group N.E.R.D., Pharrell recently recorded a tune for the new SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out Of Water. Entitled “Squeeze Me,” the song was referred to by SPIN as “fluffy island funk,” and after the magazine’s recent South Park fiasco, you know they have to be right.

N.E.R.D. member Chad Hugo described the music as “psychedelic” and “otherworldly,” in an interview with Variety, and even went as far as to say that it’s like “what the Beatles did with Yellow Submarine.”

Yikes.

Next thing you know, N.E.R.D. will start claiming they’re bigger than Jesus.
