**The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything: The Yellow Album** is the fourteenth episode of VeggieTales and based on Stephen Hillenburg's SpongeBob SquarePants TV series with songs to promote an upcoming episode. The premise was to count down the Top Twenty SpongeBob songs as decided by the show's viewers.

## Plot

On the Countertop, the Pirates Who Don't Do Anything, comprised of Larry the Cucumber, Pa Grape, and Mr. Lunt, are hosting the show, greeting the viewers to what is known as "The Yellow Album". Of course, Larry and Mr. Lunt aren't so thrilled about it, telling Pa that they already did something, but Pa tells them that all they did was order Chinese food. Pa then explains to the viewers that for the past few months, they asked fans to cast their votes for their favorite SpongeBob song, before introducing them to a device called 'The Astonishing Contraption of Silliness', which they will use to tally up the votes for the greatest SpongeBob song of all time. Mr. Lunt comments that that's a lame name for a machine, but Larry thinks otherwise, saying that he likes it, before offering a wonton to Mr. Lunt. Pa then demonstrates how the ACOS works, before it speeds up a little then malfunctions. Pa then tells Larry and Mr. Lunt to get to work with getting the countdown all ready.

Larry and Mr. Lunt then bring out a bunch of sacks full of votes and place them into the ACOS while Pa explains the rules to the viewers, which are that they will put the votes into the ASOC, which will then count the votes and countdown to the greatest SpongeBob song of all time. Once all of the votes have been placed into the ACOS, Pa then tells Mr. Lunt to pull the lever. Once the lever has been pulled, the ACOS then brings up the SpongeBob songs in order of vote;

* 20: Ripped Pants (from "Ripped Pants")

* 19: Doing the Sponge (from "The Chaperone")

* 18: Sweater Song (from an upcoming episode "As Seen on TV")

* 17: Hey All You People (from "Jellyfish Hunters")

* 16: Underwater Sun (from an upcoming episode "Party Pooper Pants")

* 15: Campfire Song Song (from an upcoming episode "The Camping Episode")

However, when the ACOS malfunctions again, this time bringing up a non-existent song called "Mockingbird from Snoopy's Classiks on Toys", Pa stops the countdown, saying that something must be be wrong with the ACOS, before using a wooden mallet to fix it up again. This time, the ACOS is able to work properly again, bringing up;

* 14: Hey Mean Mr. Bossman (from "Hey Mean Mr. Bossman")

Pa then praises that song for being "the grandfather of SpongeBob Songs, the one that started the whole thing". Pa then says to pause for a moment of respect, before quickly telling Larry to "Hit it", to which Larry then hits the machine to start it up again. After that, more SpongeBob Songs are brought up again in order of vote;

* 13: He's Flying (from an upcoming episode "The Sponge Who Could Fly")

* 12: All You Need is Friends

* 11: Nick's B. Danube (from "Jellyfishing")

* 10: Jelly Fish Jam (from "Jellyfish Jam")

When ACOS brings up the number 9 song, saying "When Worlds Collide", Pa shows up with his wooden mallet again and stops the countdown, telling the viewers that they are still working on another votes. Pa then tells Larry to check the votes in the wires, but Larry says that he didn't because he malfunctioned the machine. Pa picks the computer and hands Larry to look it up for SpongeBob songs, before Larry searches the lost SpongeBob song of all time, which was "Blow the Man Down" sung by Mr. Krabs. Mr. Lunt then shows Larry a Chinese cracker, before Larry tells him no. Pa fixes the ACOS with the wrench to adjust, before the machine then starts up again, telling Larry and Mr. Lunt they already have a SpongeBob song that doesn't even existed, before the ACOS brings up more songs by order of vote;

* 9: When Worlds Collide (from an upcoming episode "Ugh")

* 8: That's What Friends Do (from "Wormy")

* 7: Gary's Song (from an upcoming episode "Where's Gary?")

* 6: F.U.N. Song (from "F.U.N.")

* 5: Bubble Beat Box

When the ACOS malfunctions once again, bringing up another non-existent song called "Shakin' Hands from Snoopy's Classiks on Toys", Pa shows up with his wooden mallet once again, telling the viewers that they are experiencing technical difficulties once again. Pa then tells Larry to come up with one of his SpongeBob songs while he fixes the machine, but Larry says that he didn't prepare anything. This only frustrates Pa even further, before picking up a Chinese menu and handing it to Larry and Mr. Lunt. Because of that, Larry and Mr. Lunt improvise a brand new song entitled "Do The Moo Shoo". After the song ends, with Mr. Lunt telling Larry to break the fortune cookie, Larry does so, revealing a fortune that reads, "Beware of grape with wooden mallet". By the time the song ends, Pa has gotten the ACOS fixed up again, telling Larry and Mr. Lunt that the song they sang was a nice song, but it won't make the countdown, before the ACOS brings up more songs by order of vote;

* 4: Stadium Rave (from "Jellyfish Jam")

* 3: You're Old

Once that's over, Pa then tells the viewers that they are now down to two more songs, with one song going home as the loser and the other song going home as the greatest SpongeBob Song of all time. The ACOS then brings up the number 2 song, saying "Jingle Bells" but Pa quickly stops the countdown, saying that they didn't collect all the votes. Larry and Mr. Lunt tell him that they did, but Pa acts even more apprehensively, asking them if they checked in the closet, to which Larry replies that there's nothing in the closet. Pa then goes off to check in the closet, before returning with a bag labeled "Official Votes", which he then throws into the ACOS. Mr. Lunt claims that he smells something fishy, but Pa tells him that it's just Larry, who offers Mr. Lunt some "kung pao squid", which Mr. Lunt takes a pass on. Before the ACOS can start up again with the number 2 song, Larry and Mr. Lunt stop the countdown again and confront Pa about what he just did. Pa finally admits that he rigged the election, saying that the bag he threw into the ACOS wasn't full of Official Votes after all, as well as the fact that "The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything" was the only song he ever actually had a starring role in. Larry and Mr. Lunt comfort him, saying that number 2 isn't all that bad, before adding that it sure beats the Forgive-O-Matic, before Scallion # 1 says from off-screen, "I heard that!" Once Pa realizes that number 2 isn't such a bad position, he asks Larry and Mr. Lunt to forgive him, which they do, before asking the ACOS if it forgives him too, to which it does before telling him not to let it happen again. This time, the ACOS then brings up the number 2 SpongeBob Song;

* 2: Jingle Bells

Soon, the ACOS then brings up the number 1 SpongeBob Song of all time;

* 1: Sweet Victory (from "Band Geeks")

Once the greatest SpongeBob Song of all time has been revealed and the countdown over, Larry, Pa, and Mr. Lunt then thank the viewers for voting, before Larry hops up in front of the camera and offers the viewers some kung pao squid, before the episode ends.
