Remember the Big Mouth Billy Bass? You'd press a button (or trigger a proximity sensor for a surprise) and the fish would start singing either Al Greens Take Me To The River, or Bobby McFerrins Don't Worry, Be Happy. Jeff Foxworthy once quipped that if you had more than three singing fish, you might be a redneck.

Texan Richard Carter took a Volvo, 5 miles of wire, five 6-volt golf cart batteries, a screw drive mechanism using 12v DC reversible motor, a lifting frame he made from scratch, a Linux server and approximately two hundred synchronized singing fish, and created what can only be described as an awesomely effective assault on good taste.

  • Fake? I could something like this be faked? By the way, we filmed this at the Maker Faire in Austin Texas, a huge exposition featuring Various Inventors and their crazy inventions.. We'll have many more similar videos coming along in the next few weeks.

  • I wonder if that thing is street legal;-)

  • Well, they do drive around with it.. depending on the speed they go.. the first row of lobster on the hood goes up... and as they go faster, the second and turn also pops up :)

  • I'm willing to bet this volvo could beat a Bugatti Veyron in a race anytime.

  • Awesome! :D

    And what's even better is that they're singing/playing the version sung by the swedish singer Björn Skifs :D

  • What a way to ruin a car. But if that is what you like more power to you.

  • What a waste, i feel bad just seeing this.
