I had one of these. I skinned it and then beat the animatronic innards until the voice box was horrifically mutilated and it exclusively spoke in a nightmarish distorted voice and the tail was completely slack, and used the hollowed out skin as a bag to store random objects I found.
I remember when I was way younger, my grandpa had one similar and a skeleton billy bass and I was always scared of them because I didn’t understand how they moved so whenever my family came over, I just ran into my room until people stopped pressing the button
Oh my God this brings back memories, my uncle had one of these it was back in either the late eighties or early 90s, and I remembered the song even before I clicked play. You can't beat childhood memories haha
My aunt had one its batteries were dying and it sounded like it was stuttering or having a stroke 😂 love the McDonald's one filet o fish one as well btw 😅
A friend of mine who is older saved his platoon in afghanastan cause he knew what that was. It was converted ied he stopped his group from entering the house when he saw it on the wall.
On of the greatest forms of pain is seeing videos of people online program an Amazon Alexa to speak through 1 or more Billy basses but having no knowledge of technology to make it yourself.
My grandparents had one and the button broke, so it would go off at random. Of course my grandfather had to convince me and my brother it was haunted.... That is certainly one way to keep kids out of a room you don't want them in.
I am not even joking I remember seeing this toy in my elementary school class all the damn time the thing was freaky when I was a kid I'm 31 now and to this day I still wonder why that thing bothered me so much as a kid
My Parrot used to hate Billy Bass, it would jump on it and start pecking its eyes out.
plot twist: billy bass is this mans neighbour
😂😂
w wow
Crazy thought but maybe, just maybe, birds like fish as food?
This is just cursed
Mine would randomly go off at night only saying the “ help me” part of the song
what ! your fish was cursed
it needed water from the river!
Wtf
New creepypasta!
Not as bad furbies
Ours had "don't worry, be happy" as the second song.
So does this one
@@SlimothyJimothy ? Bro Doesn't Have Ears ?
Just like the one from Wall-E
Circuit switch
@@minecraftbuddy4486 it's almost like they could easily have started it on a song that was not the first.
bRo dOEsnT HaVE a BraIN????
…He isn’t lying. It is just a regular Billy Bass.
Watch the second song
My Dad had one of these in the early 2000s, he would annoy me with it cause he knew I hated it with a passion
Cheers to your pops🤙
How could you hate this???
At first I was afraid, I was petrified...
No, it's "ah ah ah ah stayin alive, staying alive"
You were in the parking lot! That’s where I remembered you!
Cozy that love goes on
“Give me that filletofish. Give me that fish.”
TY - spot on, no Filet I don't want it!
"What if it was YOU! Over here hanging on THIS wall?"
@@Ren_J My fat ass wouldn't fit! 2 many filets.
This would be great as an alarm
The more you let it go for the louder it plays, you would be forced to get out of bed
I was thinking of hooking it up to tornado sirens and playing the iPhone alarm to wake me up. Bright police lights would also be a good addition
I love how it's singing about putting it in the water and then the next song is I will survive
I can't believe this was the hottest item at one point and time.
So was leg warmers.
ig i was the only one expecting it to turn demonic 😅
No, i thought it’d do that too
So glad I found one of these, a true gem of the 90s/00s
I'm honest, I'm very confused by the existance and popularity of these but I have to agree they are iconic
@@FireJojoBoy Back around '99-2000 my grandpa bought me one for my birthday because him and I would always go fishing in the summer,
Sopranos reference
Anyway $4 a pound
I got mine for a dollar. I got a killer deal even better than Big Pussy’s 4 dollars a pound boating accident that we don’t talk about.
You know I've been working for the government right ton?
OMG YOU FOUND A REALLY RARE VARIANT! CONGRATS!
I totally did
He will survive.
I'm a rat, Tone
What?
Not in the face, okay?
ooooooohh!!
@@SlimothyJimothySopranos
This billy is absolutely amazing! Get him on the stage asap
ill survive, ill survive, ill survive
Sounded weird asf ngl
Because it's the compressed version from Billy bass junior
I had one of these. I skinned it and then beat the animatronic innards until the voice box was horrifically mutilated and it exclusively spoke in a nightmarish distorted voice and the tail was completely slack, and used the hollowed out skin as a bag to store random objects I found.
💀
are you a psychopath
@@SlimothyJimothy maybe idk
I hope you get the help you need
@@crematedable I won’t 💙
We used to have one of those, it only played "Don't Worry, Be Happy".
Tony enraged
too much pulp... he wanted the one that says *SOME PULP*
This is very nostalgic! I had one back in the day! Loved it!
I had a whole wall full of these singing fish. Bass, catfish, shark, trout and just bones. All sang different songs.
You know I’m working with the feds, right Tone? Anyway, four dollars a pound.
what
@@SlimothyJimothy the same billy bass from The Sopranos. The fish was talking to Tony.
The singing fish from that one Sopranos episode, lol! Tony hated that thing!!
I remember when I was way younger, my grandpa had one similar and a skeleton billy bass and I was always scared of them because I didn’t understand how they moved so whenever my family came over, I just ran into my room until people stopped pressing the button
Did the skeleton fish play "Bad to the Bone?" I remember one in Vegas like that back in '98.
@@elultimo102 yes!! That shit terrified me for no reason 😂
My grandfather had the singing wreath. He would put the sensor on and hang it above the toilet for the holidays. That made it more entertaining 😂😅
Billy Bass needs an Andrew Dice Clay and/or Dave Chappelle edition 🤣 A Joan Rivers or Don Rickles edition would be great too🤣
Please let him go
Bro really he is a toy fish in a plaqe
@@snoboistudiosOk? So it doesn't deserve freedom?
@@TastiLeadbruh no
First time I seen one of these was on The Sopranos TV series.. lol 😂
Oh my God this brings back memories, my uncle had one of these it was back in either the late eighties or early 90s, and I remembered the song even before I clicked play. You can't beat childhood memories haha
Thanks for this reminder! We gave one to our son many years ago, whose name is actually Billy😂!Love it!
Both songs were in my N-Gage playlist back in highschool.
Those novelty fish plaques always made me sad.
Thats not a Bass🐟 thats a Bass 🎸
ULTRA RARE Version!!!
Would be nice to re program these guys with other songs or sayings.
My aunt had one its batteries were dying and it sounded like it was stuttering or having a stroke 😂 love the McDonald's one filet o fish one as well btw 😅
Got one for my brother as a gag gift one Christmas.
A friend of mine who is older saved his platoon in afghanastan cause he knew what that was. It was converted ied he stopped his group from entering the house when he saw it on the wall.
I remember like a long time ago we used to have that fish toy but now it’s messed up and broke and now we don’t have that anymore
We had one that mysteriously vanished...lol
We had a fish that sang, "Don't worry! Be happy!"
😳🐟
It mysteriously disappeared...😶🌫️🕵♂️
*"Anyway, $4 a pound."*
Give me that fillet of fish.
I have one my daughter gave me for father day 25 yrs ago still works perfect
Something very "fishy" about this video. I've been "pond"ering it for some time now!
We have that fish. We also have the skeleton version.
“Anyway, $4 a pound.”
This takes me back to 1999.
My grandmother had one.
I had the Jaws where it played the Jaws music. 😂
Mine does also. Font worry, be happy
Better then the top 10 right now
I have one of those hanging on the wall above my bed lol
Suddenly I’m the mood for some Sopranos
slimothy why did you clickbait, this is NOT a regular billy bass
What do you mean?
Dontworrybehappy@@SlimothyJimothy
“I’m a singin’ salmon, spending all day jammin’.”
Much needed laughs thank you
We freaked out so many kids pretending it was a real fish we caught
My grandparents used to have a Billy Bass. My grandpa just passed away recently, and his funeral was yesterday.
These things terrified me as a kid
Better than Taylor Swift . . . and no auto-tune!
I remember my grandma brung one of these home!😂😂😂😂
Had a buddy who had one of these in his tap room every Thursday someone would hit the button he also had a Yoda on the bar
Why is the purple curtain there, what's it hiding and why is someone's hand holding onto the wood frame?
Things that make you go mmmm.
That's my bedsheet, and I'm holding it so it does not fall down
Ah I remember these.😂
On of the greatest forms of pain is seeing videos of people online program an Amazon Alexa to speak through 1 or more Billy basses but having no knowledge of technology to make it yourself.
HEY IS THIS THE FISH FORM WALL-E😮😮😮
There’s a fish in wall-e?
@@moto324Wall-E had a Billy Bass in his home that played the Don't worry, be happy song when Eve visited him.
@@salam-peace5519 ohh yeah I forgot. I should watch it again
I wonder if anyone has ever listened to it and put it in the water??
My grandparents had one and the button broke, so it would go off at random. Of course my grandfather had to convince me and my brother it was haunted.... That is certainly one way to keep kids out of a room you don't want them in.
I use to have one of these when I was a youngin’
I saw them at Rite Aid, they were selling them.
*Arthur:* You're selling Thelma? I thought you loved that thing.
*D.W.:* I did, but then, she forgot the words to the only song she knew.
I am not even joking I remember seeing this toy in my elementary school class all the damn time the thing was freaky when I was a kid I'm 31 now and to this day I still wonder why that thing bothered me so much as a kid
Those novelty fish plaques always made me sad.
My family had the same thing 😂
All I can think of is the Sopranos gag with this.
Beautiful
Great for a door bell!
My grandma has this fish downstairs in her basement me and my cousins would play it constantly but it played don’t worry be happy as the second song
Confirmed 👍🏼 in the wild still....
Tony Soprano loved Billy Bass
I'm a Boogie Bass man myself! The original singing fish!
@XLR8Yeti24 Boogie Bass actually came after
@@SlimothyJimothy and was superior
@XLR8Yeti24 Debatable. I have both and I will say he has more variety but I'm not sure where he stands
@@SlimothyJimothy they are fish, they don't stand!
@@XLR8Yeti24 Touche
Reminds me of the singing bass on Big City Greens.
That is kool😎 next make him sing Bob Marley Songs. That there is the best Fishing Jams.
*Tony Soprano begins to sweat
Kinda wish l'd bought one now.
We need a Sabaton Billy bass
Still have mine
Mine sings the first song and Mack the Knife.😂😂
That doesn't exist, you probably have both a billy bass and a Jaws the singing shark
Was hoping it was one of those cursed dieing batteries devices
blib
That one Billy Bass that sings Ram Ranch has forever altered the way I view this musical plastic fish.
My wife had one of these until it just disappeared
Where'd you put it??
@gregamerson9172 I'll never tell. I mean, I don't know
@@iamnoone. 😁😁😁
That was awesome 😂
as a fellow james u get a sub aproved
he brokes bones
...WELL, I WONDER IF THERE ARE READY TO USE SOLUTIONS AVALIABLE ON MARKET TO MAKE LIKE DUDE WHO MADE 4 OF THEM SING WELLERMAN
.........
My family used to have a Billy Bass the first song was Take Me To The Water like this one but I forgot what the second song was
Don't Worry, Be Happy?
@@DavidLS1it might have been it was a long time ago since we had it I wish we still had it
@@michaelsegal3558 They always gave me the creeps, but eBay has them for around $30.
I thought it was gonna sing “Barry-cuda” from Big City Greens 😭
