SpongeBob SquarePants creator Stephen Hillenburg died last year, giving way to tides of tributes and a renewed appreciation for just how groundbreaking the animator’s vision truly was. In the wake of his passing, a Change.org petition . urged fans to rally behind a Super Bowl halftime show performance of “Sweet Victory,” the muscular, Halen-esque anthem SpongeBob belts at Bikini Bottom’s Bubble Bowl.
“As some of you may or may not know, Stephen Hillenburg—the creator of Spongebob Sqaurepants—has passed away recently,” reads the petition. “As a tribute to his legacy, his contributions to a generation of children, and to truly showcase the greatness of this song, we call for ‘Sweet Victory’ to be performed at the Halftime Show.”
