It's actually 12/8, faggot

It's comprised of triplets, with the same amount of stress on each downbeat. Basically it sounds like 4/4, but with triplets.

notice how there's one stressed beat, and two unstressed, creating four groups of three in a measure, except for in the "chorus"

Here it is written out with syllables and numbers and shit.

(pickup)
who
_-----------_---------------_-------------_-------------
1------2-3-4------5-6----7--8---9----10-(11)(12)
lives in a pine apple under the sea

I was in percussion in high school, I know my shit when it comes to rhythms.

Can you not fucking count?

Why did you delete your post and repost without your trip?

It is, guys. Count it out.

etc. etc.

It's three groups of three and one of two which when you add them up makes 11, and it's 8 because it's fast. 11/8.
Sup Forums knowns nothing about music

this is bait or you're retarded

I'm studying music, and can say he's right

it's not an intentional detail as much as a subtle mistake that my friend pointed out a couple years back.

the fucking kick pedal squeak on this. Can't unhear it.

youtube.com/watch?v=w4THXeOD-Dw

You right

Fuck that's annoying

"Who" is on the and of four of the previous measure. You could say its a pickup note to where the beat begins on "lives"
Not sure if you're just baiting me or you guys are really this uneducated

listen to the "boom-chick boom-chick" in the background and you will notice it's constant the entire way through
the cymbal crash is on the last off beat and you can easily beat it in 4
I'm thinking that "who" and "ab" in absorbent are pick up notes

there are no pickup notes, retards, the thing is in 11/8

explain the bass and snare drum beat

it's in 11/8
i study music theory, i know my shit

ok but explain the bass and snare drum beat

what about it? it's 3+3+3+2 so 11 and 8 because it's fast

can you write out the bass+snare drum+melody in a notation software?

can't be bothered, but i did this instead that should explain it to you

that doesn't include all the parts
if you study music theory you should have one on hand but if you don't then musescore is free and I think online too

i have finale and sibelius, i still can't be bothered
just deal with it, you don't have to pretend you study music theory, we both know you don't

so what you're saying is, you can translate it in a shitty and vague way through text, but can't be bothered to actually prove it yourself with real notation and real software
ok
it would have probably been clearer if you just did the sibelius thing from the very beginning honestly

jesus man, that was just a quick sketch, you get the idea
learn some music theory and then just count the time sig on your own

>I was in percussion in high school

What you said is correct but you really shouldn't ever use this as justification for why, a ridiculous number of people get through band without ever really understanding rhythm and even for the ones that do get it the music itself rarely gets thaaaat complicated. It just sounds silly.

he's not correct, this stuff is in 13/8 retard

all I'm saying is, if you wanted to be as absolutely clear yourself, you would have started off with it already notated

Hilarious! Nice!

friendly reminder that music theory has never been proven

no, because it was easier and faster the other way
i'm done with you retard, go learn some theory

maybe you should actually notate it user

music theory was a mistake

wtf i hate theory now

Whoa it's almost like it's a THEORY, huh?

>listens to song at 0.75 speed
wtf OP is wrong???

Checkmate atheists

Ask yourself, what purpose would they have in accenting the beats they did in that? I mean just recite the first line to yourself
>WHO lives in A pineapPLE under THE sea
versus
>who LIVES in a PINEapple UNder the SEA
Your accenting pattern is incredibly awkward.

>who LIVES
>not WHO-OO LIVES
remind me again why i'm arguing with a retard?

So you agree that LIVES is stressed?

yes retard
see

That doesn't look stressed to me.

>1------2---
>Who lives
Both the who and the lives is stressed retard
go read some theory now

screencapped

That seems kind of weird user. What syllables do the bass notes fall on again?

I just realized that there's an entirely different riff at 1:58 3:45 and 6:03 and the seconds following them

Took me almost a year to figure that out

The Spongebob theme is 6/8 you mongs

This, it has the same rhythm as vid related

Basically every transcription disagrees with op because he's a retard who can't fucking count.

>each phrase is one measure
>this pleb thinks he knows music theory

It's actually in 4/4 but the melody is in triplets. Listen for the snare drum, it's on the offbeat eighth notes.

only woke niggas realize it's in 17/19 for those truly dank prime measures.

Who is the genius behind spongebob music?
