Sort of a follow up to my "Mister Bump" thread from a while back...
Need to buy a gift for someone you don't like very much? Then this irritating lil' baby may be the perfect choice... remember the McDonald's "singing fish" commercial from about a year ago, where the guy's mounted fish suddenly starts singing "Gimme back dat Filet-O-Fish, gimme dat fish?" You can now bring that fish into your very own home!!
His name is "Frankie," he's an officially licensed McDonald's product, and according to the box he sings two (!) versions of the "Filet O Fish" jingle. I swear to God. If you just can't live without a Frankie for a moment longer, he can be found here.
My kids and I saw this at Walgreen's a couple of days ago. They had a big stack of'em up by the checkout counter and while we were waiting on line, of course the kids had to push the buttons on several of them at once. You haven't lived till you've heard the "Gimme back dat Filet-O-Fish" song sung in five or six part harmony. I had that damn jingle stuck in my head for the rest of the day!!!
Give this novelty gift to someone you HATE and you're guaranteed to never hear from them again!

That commercial is back!
Now the guy gets a video message on his cell phone and it's the singing fish.

Really? I haven't seen that yet. I was wondering why this fish thing suddenly turned up in stores since the commercial was a year old and wasn't being aired anymore. Now it makes sense.

A buddy of mine changed his wife's ringtone to play that song whenever he calls her. She hates it. If I only knew how to do that to my wife.
