Sing-a-ma-jigs are an American line of electronic, singing stuffed toys by Fisher-Price, first released in 2010.
Each Sing-a-ma-jig is battery-powered, with two AAA batteries already included. They are soft, plush dolls with terrycloth mouths, and measure about 12 inches in length.
The dolls make a variety of different noises when squeezed. Each "squeeze" causes the Sing-a-ma-jig to open its mouth to emit noise. The doll's mouth contains a set of plastic teeth that click together when closing. A Sing-a-ma-jig's noises include songs, "jibber-jabber" made up of vowel sounds, different notes on the octave scale, a greeting, and a goodbye. They each sing a different public-domain song unique to their model. The voice that each one has is unique to its model as well. When paired together or in groups, the dolls automatically harmonize with each other.
Sing-a-ma-jigs were popularized by John Green in his video "Making Adorable Music" which was uploaded to YouTube on October 22, 2010.
As of late 2012, there are 21 "basic" Sing-a-ma-jig models: Italicised colors are the ones that have the "Voice Wiggle Effect", although the Aqua and Rose ones were later released as standard versions without that effect. The New Yellow Sing-a-ma-jig is the only one that did not sing the same song in the US and Japanese markets.
In late November 2010, the first holiday-themed Sing-a-ma-jig was introduced for Christmas. "Santa" is a dark green doll with a white beard, and a red-and-white Santa Claus jacket and cap. He sings "Jingle Bells".
The second holiday-themed doll was released in February 2011 in time for Valentine's Day. This doll is red with a pink shirt featuring red hearts. Its ears are unique in that they are also shaped like hearts, breaking away from the bear, dog and rabbit ears used up until now. This doll sings "Let Me Call You Sweetheart" in her alto voice.
