Billy Big Mouth Bass just hangs out on the wall and waits until you come by him, then he bursts into song: Here's a little song I wrote, you might want to sing it note for note, Don't Worry..... Be happy.
Woooo hooooo whoooooo doooo do do do...
Pros: Entertains small children, frustrates your wife. Cons: Annoying!
Big Mouth Billy Bass is one thing I wish I hadn't ever brought into this house. The thing drives me crazy. It wasn't for the children, actually this toy is something a lot of men think is funny. I just think it is irritating. My husband originally...
Pros: Humorous attraction for all Cons: You may find yourself singing the songs after hearing them enough.
Several months ago my dad called me and asked me to walk over next door that he had something that he wanted me to see. I walked over and he showed me his new find a Big Mouth Billy Bass. He had just purchased him at a local truck stop. My husband is...

When my mother-in-law purchased Billy Bass for my husband, I...
Pros: Hilarious to the unsuspecting Cons: Motion sensor too sensitive. There's no getting away from him.

Pros: cute and lifelike Cons: hard to find when purchased

That's what I love, SYNCHROMOTION™ TECHNOLOGY! I first saw Billy Bass on the Rosie Show and I knew I had to have it for my log house in the woods. Now the log house is a very nice house, but it is a place to get away and have some fun and...
Pros: hysterical, great to watch people's reaction, keeps the kids entertained Cons: imitation of Boogie Bass, which does more and is better quality
Shopper's beware - if you're looking for the fish you saw on Nickelodeon and several other kids channels, you may be sad when you get Billy Bass home and find out he's no Boogie Bass.
I'm not saying Billy Bass isn't hysterical to give as a...
Pros: cute gift; great for parties; kids love it! Cons: takes batteries so you'll be replacing them a lot, if it's used a lot! It tends to get IRRITATING!
What IS It?

Pros: Funny, realistic, easy to display Cons: none
There is a funny fish tale behind our Big Mouth Billy Bass. My mom had suggested it as a great gift for Father's Day for my husband, an avid fisherman, and let me know that my son enjoyed it as well at the toy store. Having just found out I am pregnant...
Pros: Novel idea, cute for the first 15 minutes Cons: Cute for the first 15 minutes
This is a cool idea. Pretty much worthless, but cool. Billy Bass is a VERY realistic bass fish mounted on a board, much like a trophy. This alone is enough reason to get him. You can convince all your friends that you're a great fisherman.
You probably laughed at Big Mouth Billy Bass. You probably thought he was clever and mildly entertaining. You probably had him sing "Take me to the river" and "Don't Worry, Be Happy" at least three times.
Pros: The government will "remove" you from society. Leaving me more room to frolic and scamper Cons: You probably owe me money.

When I retired from my job, a friend of mine bought the Big Mouth Billie Bass for me (as a joke). This thing is something else. It is a wooden wall plaque made to look, for all the world, like a fish preserved by taxidermy. But this taxidermicological...
Pros: Great gag gift. Cons: He sings the same songs repeatedly and they lose their charm.
When I first saw Billy the Bass in a Walgreens drugstore I about fell over. He was really cute and I love weird stuff. The fact that this mounted fish sings Take me To the River is hysterical... for about the first five minutes. He annoying after a...
My nephew, Aiden, just turned 3 years old and of course he was going to have a Birthday Party. Being the "baby" on both sides of the family I think it is safe to say he is "spoiled," not rotten of course but certainly spoiled....
Pros: Cute for the first few days Cons: Makes you hate fish
Priding myself on my odd sense of humor, I bought this gift for my dad for Father's Day. Naturally, he thought it was funny, the first 5 or 6 times it went off, but by the 30,000th time, it had gotten old. Imagine my surprise when last week as an early...
Just to set the record straight, I did NOT actually buy this fish. I don't have an extra $20 to spend on a singing fish. My friend didn't really have extra cash either, but she bought it anyway.
Pros: cute idea Cons: not cute after a couple of days
Is it "Big Mouth Billy Bass" season yet? If so, I want to shoot him!

Pros: Great Gift for fisherman or man Cons: not for you if you don't like to laugh
This has to be the absolute greatest gift idea for a man that loves to fish. I have tried to find one but have not been able to get one yet. My mom's neighbor(who is an avid fisherman)was given this a gift for his birthday. He brought it over to share...

We don't own a Big Mouth Billy Bass at our house, but have many friends who have been "hooked" into buying one! What's so appealing about Billy to make him one of the hottest sensations of the year 2000? Here a few ideas I have.
Pros: Good coordination between songs and Billy's movements Cons: Sound is too loud
My wife found a Billy Bass somewhere (a mall, I think) and my kids presented it to me for father's day. It is hilarious! Who can resist an animatronic fish which sings "Take Me To The River" and "Don't Worry, Be Happy?" The head...
Pros: LOOKS LIKE THE ONE ON TELEVISION Cons: DOESN"T DO AS MUCH AS THE ONE ON TELEVISION
One night my family and i were sitting in the living room watching television when this infomercial came on for this singing fish. I thougt to myself that it would make a great gift for my father-in-law, who is an avid fisher man. Later on in the...
Pros: very cute conversation piece Cons: the price
One day while I was working, a customer of mine brought his "BIG MOUTH BILLY BASS" in the restaurant for me to see. At first I thought it was your typical Prize catch that he had mounted.
Then I noticed the red button on...
Billy's claim to fame is that he has a motion
detector and when anyone passes close enough
he'll flap his mouth, turn his head and sing.
("Don't Worry be Happy," and "Take Me to the
River") The sound quality is...
Pros: It can stay quiet if you don't push that button. Cons: It grates against the ears.
To the people that engineered the Big Mouth Billy Bass product for the good people of Earth: WHY?! A singing fish? Good Lord! Next, how about a collie that saves boys from wells?! Ok, bad example, but the questions stand. Why?
Here's the first...
Pros: Funny the first time Cons: Loses its punch after that
Big Mouth Billy Bass is a strange novelty item, good once or twice, but not something to spend your money on. How many times would you want to listen to a fish sing "Take me to the River" and "Don't Worry, Be Happy"? Having the fish...
My mother-in-law bought one of this fish about a year ago. I didn't know she had it until my daughter found it hidden behind her couch. After about ten minutes I understood why.
The fish itself is a really good idea. When you push a button or...
Pros: Funny silly thing Cons: Might make people who are firmly committed to being grouchy laugh their fannies off!
Big Mouth Billy Bass...he sings, he wiggles and is just pain goofy. This is a fake fish fish mounted on a plastic board. When a button is pushed he sings one of 2 songs..."take me to the river" OR "don't worry be happy". At crucial...
Pros: Great stress reliever, totally nuts! Cons: tends to go on at the drop of a hat
When asked to describe my workplace, it's safe to say it's one where PMS rules. Imagine our reaction when our office received Electronic Big Mouth Billy Bass as a marketing gift!
Mounted on his own board, Billy chortles "Take Me to the...
Pros: Very clever and funny without being obnoxious Cons: Can startle you if you forget to turn it off and you walk by it
This is a really fun item. The fish starts singing and dancing, its mouth moving with the words, when you walk close to it (you can turn it off). It's funny to see and hear this guy singing "Don't Worry - Be Happy!" When it is not singing,...
Pros: Entertains company. Cute at first Cons: Can get annoying.
Please do so fast!! This was a cute item when it first came out. I thought it would be a great wall hanging and attraction for my daughter and anyone else who came over. Boy was I wrong after about two months of listening to the songs over and over...
I my self do not own one of the Big Mouth Billy Bass. But I has several friends who do and I has seen them in the stores. The first time that I seen Big Mouth Billy Bass was on the computer. A friend of mine had found a web site when he was and sent him...
Pros: Super Fun at first, catchy songs Cons: Gets annoying!
The big mouth billy bass product was given to me by my grandparents. It is a lot of fun at first but it's limited songs make it get rather routine fast. It helps me pass the time on long days by singing along w/ the fish. A rather unknown use is as a...
This is something that my friend owns. At first, it was really funny. I would sit next to it and watch people's reactions as they walked by, or I would press the button for them and watch them laughing at it.
Pros: Amusing- For a week Cons: Annoying-After a week!
I was shopping for clothes in JC Penny, and could not help but notice this annoying fish, who would just not shut up! It had a motion detector that prompted it to begin singing, if it detected a person. Obviously my sister picked up on my annoyance, and...
Pros: fun for a silly adult (for a while),power cord Cons: boring and useless
My husband got Big Mouth Billy Bass for Christmas. Pretty cute for the first hour or so, but it got rather old listening to the fish sing after a while. My husband though, still thinks it's pretty cool. I am just glad that I didn't spend the money on...
I think this thing is hilarious..I havent gotten sick of it yet. I laugh every time he starts singing. This fish will sing on command and flap his head out and flip his lips around. It sounds obnoxious and I guess it would irritate some people, but I...
Pros: You can't say no to some music... Cons: low quality music, with an annoyingly loud static sound, and a stupid expensive fish.
One minute it's fun, after everybody has heard each of the 2 songs twice, it's already gathering dust. Here's a typical experience you will have with Billy Bass:
First Glance
Good: A cute fish who's mouth moves...
Pros: Funny...at first. Cons: Annoying....in the end.
When I first saw Billy Bass in a toy store I grinned. My children laughed. My husband remarked, "Look at that!" Then, we got on with our lives. Unfortunately, it seems that no one else has had the same idea.
Americans love...
Reasons I Loathe This "toy":
1. it does not stop
2. takes nothing to get it going
3. sings only two songs
4. its a plastic fish on fake wood, I mean c'mon really
5. it is loud and annoying
6. tacky...
Pros: fun a few times Cons: gets totally annoying and could lead to insanity
My friend got thois thing for her dad because he is obsessed with fishing. After showing it to me I thought "Wow whata waste of $26.00" I still kind of think that. I walk through the mall and they are in the window flapping and singing...
Pros: none Cons: too expensive, tacky, drives you batty.
At first, it was kind of a cute idea. Kind of. BUT - they just could not stop at one, could they? Let's be realistic... how many singing fish do you see? I certainly don't want a fish that sings Christmas carols hanging anywhere in my house...
