Don't Be a Jerk (It's Christmas)

"Don't Be a Jerk (It's Christmas)" is a Christmas song sung by SpongeBob SquarePants, released as a bonus track on SpongeBob's Greatest Hits. The song was used in a fan-made music video, animated in stop-motion with the SpongeBob SquarePants Lego toys, for the 2008 Nicktoons Network Animation Festival.
The song was later featured in the series' second Christmas special, "It's a SpongeBob Christmas!" In the episode, SpongeBob and Sandy find that the song's music works as an antidote to Plankton's jerktonium-laced fruitcake, so SpongeBob sings the song to everyone in Bikini Bottom, returning them to their normal forms.
