He answered a comic book ad saying, "Send us a song and $100 and we'll make a record of your song!" Well, he wrote a terrible song, but they had to record it because they had already spent his hundred dollars, making a refund impossible. The guy in the recording booth gagged because the song was so awful there was a stench coming through the envelope (When Patrick went to mail it, there was a bulge like a loaded diaper). One of the band members retrieved it, and when he brought it to the other band members he told them, "This one's so bad it made my eyeballs throw up!" The lead singer took a look and his eyeballs crumbled to dust. However, since they had to record it, he gamely announced, "We're going to do this if it kills us!" The next scene had SpongeBob, Patrick, and an undertaker fish standing at the band members' graves.

I'll have to look at it tomorrow, but sure, post the link to that one you were talking about. Sing a Song of Patrick - This is the wiki page for the episode. I don't know how I know this, considering it has been years since I saw this one. Yes, that's the one! Thanks for posting the link! No problem.

Since I'm here, I might as well go ahead and say that a style that doesn't work will screw up a story, and a story with terrible content will screw up a story. As Raidra stated, they really go hand in hand. For example, while I still really dislike Lost Episodes by Slimebeast, part of the reason is because the style of writing really doesn't suit the story very well, and it takes a lot of the elements of a possibly disturbing moment out and replaces it with sarcastic comments.
