Synopsis[]
Squidward is preparing for an audition with the Bikini Bottom Men's Choir. As he steps out of his house, he sees a bored SpongeBob lying on the ground. SpongeBob explains that Patrick has gone away for a family reunion, leaving him with nothing to do. He asks Squidward where he is going, and after a while of asking, he finally says he is going to the Men's Choir.
Squidward rides his bike away, but SpongeBob follows him as he wants to show him his song. When he does not want to listen, SpongeBob digs a pothole, causing Squidward to fall off his bike and land at Jellyfish Fields. He gets trapped in jellyfish while SpongeBob takes advantage of him being captive and sings his song.
After suffering many jellyfish stings, Squidward sets out on his bike again, taking a shortcut through the kelp. However, he is stopped by SpongeBob, who is disguised as a singing traffic cop. He tries to sing his song, but Squidward finds out he is in disguise and ties him to a piece of coral. After Squidward leaves, SpongeBob begins to sing, attracting jellyfish, who carry him off to the choir.
Squidward finally reaches the choir, but when he sings with the choir, he clears his throat for a long period of time and sounds terrible when he finally sings. Soon after, SpongeBob comes inside the building while being carried by jellyfish and singing his song. After he finishes, everyone but Squidward applauds him. He is let into the choir, being given a mustache like the other singers, but he feels bad for Squidward and adds he will only sing with them if Squidward joins as well. Later during a concert, SpongeBob is singing the solo with Squidward as his page turner, much to his displeasure, while the episode finishes.
