Glorb is a pseudonymous prompt engineer who uses AI voices of characters from the children's show SpongeBob SquarePants to create rap songs about gang warfare. Glorb is not legally affiliated with the copyright holders of SpongeBob Squarepants.[1][2][3]
Career
[edit]Glorb is pseudonymous. The first Glorb song, "The Formula", was released on June 3, 2023.[4][better source needed] In an interview with Moist Cr1TiKaL, Glorb claimed to have been leaving small hints in their music about their identity.[5]
Each song involves characters from the show SpongeBob SquarePants. Every character has been renamed to fit a gangster aesthetic and to with the intention to avoid copyright issues. SpongeBob is Spongeopp (as in opposition), Patrick is The Notorious P.A.T. (a reference to The Notorious B.I.G.), Mr. Krabs is Mr. Swags (as in swagger), Sandy Cheeks is Sandy Thee Squirrel (a reference to Megan Thee Stallion), Squidward is Squidwock (a reference to Wockhardt cough syrup, which contains the opiate Codeine, hence the term 'wock' often being used to refer to lean), Plankton is Dankton, Ms. Puff is shortened to just Puff, and Larry the Lobster is A$AP Larry (a reference to A$AP ROCKY). The only character to who kept their original name is Karen due to it not being copyrighted. Each song (specifically the music videos) adds to a story about a gang rivalry between Dankton's Chum Bucket and Mr. Swags' Krusty Krab Krew.[citation needed]
