One of our great items of pop culture kitsch, the Big Mouth Billy Bass has entertained countless man caves, garages, fish fry restaurants and fishing clubs for decades now. This plastic robot fish mounted to the wall mimics a marquee catch and sings pop songs like “Take Me to the River” and “Don’t Worry, Be Happy.”
While the Big Mouth Billy Bass has faded a bit in popularity since it’s cultural peak in the late 1990s and early 2000s (sans that McDonald’s commercial where a Big Mouth Billy Bass knockoff tells someone to buy a Filet-O-Fish), we think it’s time to break out the fishing nets and haul in this delightful pop cultural remnant. What if the Big Mouth Billy Bass was reissued in 2024 with brand-new songs?
Let’s list the 10 songs we’ll recommend for a Big Mouth Billy Bass and why they’d all be swimming choices. Trust us; this new version would be quite the catch.
