The case of Emilio “Bob Sponge” hit the
news last May when someone included a
video in YouTube. The video showed how
a waste collection worker stopped at the
door of a school to sing the Bob Sponge
song to children who anxiously waited to
see his performance. In a few hours, the
video became a hit in social networks and
digital media, with nearly 2 million views.
Emilio is one of the colleagues working at
the waste collection service at Parque de
Manoteras. Over the past two years, he has
been bringing joy to the children at the Las
Tablas neighbourhood in Madrid with his
version of the “Bob Sponge Show”.
