Funny Animated Musical Gifts

Animated Musical Animals

• A variety of stuffed animals that sing and dance are amusing ways to gift someone of any age. These humorous gifts can express the right words through song to someone who's going through a break-up, recovering in a hospital, or celebrating a birthday. For the naughty man in your life, the cheeky police officer bear singing "Bad Boy," or for the poker player you know, a plush bulldog with cigar and cards in hand singing and swaying to "The Gambler" would both be funny gifts. From the dog lover to the frog lover, these animated musical animals are a unique way to gift someone you know. Worldwidegifts.com has these items available to view in action and for purchase.

Animated Holiday Decorations

• Christmas and Halloween are suitable holidays to gift someone with a funny animated musical gift. Whether it is Santa playing an instrument to the tune of a traditional Christmas song or dancing with Mrs. Claus around the Christmas tree, he is a popular figure among the musical animated gifts. Trendytree.com and Alibaba.com are good marketplaces to search for these items.

  Halloween is the perfect time to frightfully delight someone with a scary animated musical gift such as a skeleton in a casket that suddenly pops up, or a granny in a rocking chair, or a creepy doctor that moves as if he's going to attack you. All these items come with a CD of dialogue. To find animated Halloween props, go to Halloweenexpress.com.

A Blast From the Past

• The 1980s were a popular time for funny animated musical gifts. Children admired Teddy Ruxpin for his animated storytelling, and dancing Coke cans wearing sunglasses, as well as flowerpots dancing and playing music, were common fads of the '80s. Although most of these items are not available in most gift shops today, it is possible to seek them out on eBay for purchasing. A Google search will provide you with an available retailer, or guide you to the right forum to find such a gift. There are also some funny YouTube videos of these fads in case you need to refresh your memory. A modern version of the dancing flowerpot is available from Sega Toys, called iSmile. This hi-tech toy moves its leaves, lights up its petals, and changes facial expressions to the music you input into it.

Big Mouth Billy Bass

• Probably the most famous of the animated musical gifts, Big Mouth Billy Bass has appeared in television shows such as The Sopranos, The Office, and Late Night with Conan O'Brien and had a brief cameo in the film Wall-E. This item is a great gift for the avid fisherman. It looks like the real thing mounted on a plaque, except Big Mouth Billy Bass moves its mouth and wiggles to different popular tunes. Big Mouth Billy Bass is available for purchasing at amazon.com.
