Spongebob Squarepants Theme Song- Avril Lavigne
Avril Lavigne was born in Belleville, Ontario on September 27, 1984.[18][19] to a devout Christian family[20][21] of French-Canadian descent. Lavigne’s mother was the first to spot young Lavigne’s talent. At the age of two, Lavigne began singing along with her mother on church songs. The family moved to Napanee, Ontario, when Lavigne was five years old.In 1998, Avril Lavigne won a competition to sing with fellow Canadian singer Shania Twain on her first major concert tour. She appeared alongside Twain at her concert in Ottawa, appearing on stage to sing “What Made You Say That”.She was discovered by her first professional manager, Cliff Fabri, while singing country covers at a Chapters bookstore in Kingston, Ontario.[18] During a performance with the Lennox Community Theatre, Lavigne was spotted by local folk singer Steve Medd, who invited her to sing on his song “Touch the Sky” for his 1999 album Quinte Spirit. She also sang on “Temple of Life” and “Two Rivers” for his follow up album, My Window to You, in 2000.[18]At the age of sixteen she was signed by Ken Krongard, the artists-and-repertoire (A&R) representative of Arista Records, who invited the head of Arista, Antonio “L.A.” Reid, to hear her sing at the New York City studio of producer Peter Zizzo.[18]She then completed work on her first album, Let Go. The Matrix, who worked extensively with Lavigne on the album, commented on her songwriting, saying, “We had a fabulous and unique experience with Avril, who was then a 16-year-old rapidly growing songwriter with tremendous raw talent. The songs were conceived on piano and guitar by four people: The Matrix (3) and Avril. Avril was instrumental in the songs’ creation. We were all very close during the making of the record.”[Main article: Let Go (Avril Lavigne album)
Let Go was released on June 4, 2002 in the United States, it has reached number two there and number one in Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom. This made Lavigne, at seventeen, the youngest female soloist to have a number-one album in the UK up until that time.[23]
The album shows definite pop rock/indie pop roots; however, alternative and post-grunge influences can be heard in some of the songs.
Just over one month after its release, Let Go reached multi-platinum status in late-August,[24] and was certified triple platinum two weeks after.[25] Before the end of 2002, just six months after its debut, it was certified four times platinum by the RIAA.[26] It sold a total of 14 million copies worldwide. It was the best selling album of the year for a female artist and for a debut album in 2002.[27] As of December 2007 the album has sold 6.6 million copies in the U.S and more than 16 million worldwide.
Four singles from the album were released. The first single, “Complicated” went to number one in Australia, while reaching number two on the U.S. Hot 100, and it was one of the best-selling Canadian singles of 2002. Lavigne tied a record set by Natalie Imbruglia’s “Torn” when “Complicated” held the number one spot on the contemporary hit radio chart (which tracks air play on the radio) for eleven weeks in a row.[28] “Sk8er Boi” reached the top ten in the U.S. and Australia, “I’m with You” reached the top ten in the U.S and the UK, and “Losing Grip” reached the top ten in Taiwan and the top twenty in Chile.Lavigne was named “Best New Artist” at the 2002 MTV Video Music Awards, won four Juno Awards in 2003 (out of six nominations), received a World Music Award for “World’s Best-Selling Canadian Singer”, and was nominated for eight Grammy Awards, including “Song of the Year” for “Complicated” and “Best New Artist”.

By Amrit SinghI don’t get around to posting all the shows I see, and I came close to sitting on these pictures because little’s changed about how much I love A&A during the weeks we’ve had Apes & Androids’ scary good debut Blood Moon in Heavy Rotation. Or since I launched 
Confetti guns were involved, too, all of which gave the night a delirious sheen just four songs in. Also, glowsticks were passed around, and that looked like this:
The crowd was a weird mix of hipsters, beat-seekers, and Hiro trash. Unsurprisingly all appeared to lost their shit in equal parts, which is a sensible response to the pop-is-eating-itself crew’s anthems and going-on-legendary live show. The one attendee I couldn’t figure was the girl standing in front of me with a 12″ feather extending laterally from her hat and into my eye. Blinding fashion sense, yes, but then I realized her inspiration:
