Will Schaefer

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Willis H. Schaefer (November 23, 1928 – June 30, 2007) was an American composer nominated for an Emmy Award for his work.[1] He wrote background music for a number of popular television shows and composed over 700 commercials. His most famous track, “Fight! Fight! Fight!” was used in The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, and Stephen Hillenburg changed the name of the track to “Now That We're Men”, because he added lyrics to the song.
