Engels, it's the 4th of the month again, time for you to buy me another big mouth billy bass
"Karl...you already have so many..."
"Do you want the revolution to succeed or not?"
Idk why but for some reason I think 
would have absolutely loved it, much to the chagrin of everyone else around him
How i think Soviet Leaders would have liked Big Mouth Billy Bass (assuming it was in its current form during their tenure):
Lenin: Bemused, slightly curious, but likely left in a guest room to entertain guests.
Stalin: uninterested after the first use, would rather it play western movie music.
Khruschev: Big fan, would show it to everyone the moment they walked into his office (including regular visitors, much to their chagrin).
Brezhnev: has 12.
Andropov: Not a fan, finds it annoying and likely throws it in the trash as soon as he can find one.
Chernenko: Never got the chance to be shown one.
Gorbachev: had one installed in his private Pizza Hut booth.
Big Mouth Billy Bass is the new opiate of the masses.
~Karl Marx
Marx would have a dozen of these
I once found a really niche, deep-youtube channel of a person who was a consumer-animatronic enthusiast who collected and refurbished mostly Big Mouth Billy Bass.
At first I thought it was satire but the person genuinely knew their different editions with different features and would collect and refurbish them. They seemed to be part of a small community of animatronic enthusiasts and it was like peering into another world. I thought it was neat and it was really nice to see that they had found their people and what brought them joy in life.
