Frankie the Fish is a cod that originated from a 2009 McDonald's commercial, and was turned into a novelty item by Gemmy Industries in 2009. He moves his head and mouth as he sings the song "Give Me Back That Filet-O-Fish" from the commercial and a remix of the same song.
Song Lyrics[]
Give me back that Filet-O-Fish,
Give me that fish,
Give me back that Filet-O-Fish,
Give me that fish,
What if it were you hanging up on this wall,
If it were you in that sandwich you wouldn't be laughing at all,
So give me back that Filet-O-Fish,
Give me that fish,
Give me back that Filet-O-Fish,
Give me that fish!
Ahh!
Trivia[]
- The concept of McDonald's and singing fish would be revived in 2010 with the release of Fish McBites. The commercial features several small fish on one big plaque singing about the new item. Unlike Frankie, these were never made into novelty items.
- Frankie would make a return in a 2011 commercial to commemorate the 3rd anniversary of the original campaign.
- Frankie is the only singing fish who doesn't flap his tail.
- Frankie is also one of the only few singing fishes who faces the opposite direction on his plaque. The other being Boogie Bass.
