Who sings the song Sweet Victory?
When most people hear Sweet Victory, they probably think of the characters from Spongebob dressed as a marching band.
However, many fans of the show might be shocked to learn that the original song was written in 1997 by David Glen Eisley and Bob Kulick.
Eisley is the original vocalist on the song and the voice heard in the 2001 episode of Spongebob.
The song reached number 23 on the Hot Rock Songs chart in February 2019 after Super Bowl LIII.
