Wiggling Willie

Christmas Wiggling Willie 1 — Christmas version of Wiggling Willie

Wiggling Willie is a singing fish resembling a yellow perch made in 2000-2003. He moves his head, tail, and mouth as he sings "(I Don't Know Why) But I Do" by Clarence "Frogman" Henry and "I Can't Help Myself (Sugar Pie Honey Bunch)" by The Pointer sisters.

Variants[]

There are 4 separate versions of this fish. Three of them are alike in appearance and sing the same two songs, but the song recordings and fish body movements are both different. The fourth has a different plaque and a different song entirely.

Version One: The mouth is not synced up with the words of either song, and the head and tail lift and flap at different moments. Also, the overall sound is of a higher quality, and both songs are sped up, but at normal pitch. It also has a Billy Bass-like cloth.

Version Two: This one has a Billy Bass cloth but with the board of the third generation.

Version Three: This one seems to be the more common of the two. The mouth movement is in sync with the words of the songs, and the recording of "(I Don't Know Why) But I Do" is noticeably high pitched at 4 semitones and sped up, and "I Can't Help Myself (Sugar Pie Honey Bunch)" is at normal speed and pitch. It also has a different colored cloth.

Version Four (Christmas version): This one has the same body as the others, but instead of a faux wood grain plaque it has a blue plaque with fish pictures on it and a gold frame around it. This version sings "Jingle Bell Rock". It also has the name misspelled as "Wigging Willie" on the nameplate and "SY-829" (perhaps an item number) below it. This version is rumored to be a knockoff made by a different company (despite the regular ones already being knockoffs of Big Mouth Billy Bass).
