Lost SpongeBob Closing Logo

hey! just decided to add my "repressed" memory or lack of it concerning the foghorn sound, i kinda remember something like it (maybe it's my nostalgic memory just remembering stuff from when i watched the show) but i remember it being loud af like another member mentioned...seems like a one off thing yet some people seem to remember their own variation of it.

Well... according to Spongepedia, it is NOT a foghorn but various cow noises, so the foghorn thing is wrong

Yeah someone probably just changed the information there after having read this thread, because we concluded people confusing it with the Texas ending is probably what people are misremembering.

I'm still not 100% convinced the foghorn variant doesn't exist, but I could believe it's just misremembering the Texas one.

I distinctly remember this, and I recall it being so jarring because it wasn’t the usual sounds of either the ending theme or waves crashing/seagulls. If memory serves me right, the foghorn sounded like it could’ve been the same sound effect that was occasionally used in the show.

I wish we could get in touch with the guy who originally wrote that.

I found that the other day and wow, that recreation is brutal, nothing like what I “remember” (the foghorn noise being rather distant and accompanied by the waves crashing).

What’s interesting is that the original note on the CLG wiki was that early split-screen credits used it, implying that the usual waves crashing/seagulls hadn’t been realized yet.

I’ve looked through tons of commercial breaks and pretty much all of the ones from 2000-01 feature the end theme playing over the logo. The typical waves/seagulls one didn’t seem to debut until early 2002, maybe late 2001. So I assume the foghorn version was an early version of it.

When you saw the foghorn logo, was the closing theme version the only one you were familiar with?
