A representative for Maroon 5 did not immediately respond to a request for comment. But on Jan. 13, the band tweeted out a Super Bowl-themed hype video, and SpongeBob makes an appearance.

More evidence that the Super Bowl might have a spongy influence: Numerous sites have shared what appears to be a series of Facebook posts from Rodger Bumpass, who voices Squidward on the show, announcing that Squidward will introduce the halftime show. Bumpass' posts aren't public, and he did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
