Product Information

Identical in every way, just shrunken down so this bouncy castle fits where the larger one doesn't. In fact, later Sing Along Songs releases have a new version of the theme sung by Sebastian the Crab that retains the "follow the bouncing ball" lyric, but the lyrics to the theme (and the songs afterward, by extension) are displayed using the highlighting method. Curiously, this version of the song does remove direct references to Disney. The video for "Walk the Dinosaur" by Was (Not Was) puts the chorus lyrics on screen with a bouncing ball, but over a completely different (and instrumental) section of the song. Keynotes, an Australian game show that unsuccessfully attempted an American version, affected the bouncing ball. Contestants scored musical notes to a song they had to identify. Each time a note was added, the notes were played with a bouncing ball. HBO also used it once, as part of an April Fools' Day variant on their "Starship HBO" intro, which replaced the typical footage with a cheap, public-access style copy; the ball in this case followed the original music (another variant of the April Fool's intro had a cheap kazoo version of the music instead and no "bouncing ball" lyrics)

The Magic Christian opens with a snippet of "Come and Get It" by Badfinger over a shot of a 10-pound banknote, with the lyrics transcribed by a bouncy ball. An early ad for ZooPals (a brand of animal-themed paper plates for kids) used the plates themselves instead of a ball. Every Drawn Together DVD set has a sing-along special feature. Considering what kind of show it is, you can probably guess what kind of things they use in place of a bouncing ball.

This was used in the Great Mighty Poo's Villain Song in Conker's Bad Fur Day, where the lyrics were put up onto the screen whilst you read it with a ball made of crap... made even funnier by the profane and crude lyrics of the song. This is a staple of I DONT KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME's lyric videos, starting with "Bleed Magic" and continuing with most songs from Razzmatazz. This fits in well with the band's Retreaux aesthetic, as it gives the videos the appearance of old singalong VHS tapes.

In a sort of cross between this trope and closed captioning, displaying lyrics of opening and ending songs on screen is very common for not only anime, but Japanese TV in general. The Disney Sing-Along Songs tapes; for people who grew up around the time they were released, they are probably the example of this trope.When Monty Python performed "The Philosopher's Song" during Live at the Hollywood Bowl, the "bouncing ball" was the head of a Bruce.
