Big Mouth (Lakota: Itȟáŋka) (born 1822–died October 29, 1869) was an Oglala-born leader of the Brulé Lakota, highly regarded by the Brulé for his bravery and aggressive military leadership. He was one of the signers of the second Treaty of Fort Laramie in 1868 and remained a bitter opponent of further American settlement, ridiculing Spotted Tail and other Sioux leaders upon their return from a mission to Washington, D.C.. He was the first son of Old Chief Smoke (1774–1864) and his third wife, Burnt Her Woman. His twin brother was Blue Horse.
One of the principal leaders at the Whetstone Indian Agency, located along the Missouri River, where most of the Brulé and Oglala bands had gathered, Big Mouth gained increasing support for his stance among members of the tribe. He criticized what he described as Spotted Tail's reversal of Sioux policy, saying Spotted Tail had been entertained by American politicians and given a personal tour through the major cities of the east coast. Faced with increasing opposition to his leadership, Spotted Tail visited Big Mouth at his lodge, where, upon approaching the entrance, Big Mouth was seized by two warriors and held down while Spotted Tail shot and killed him.

Big Mouth Billy Bass is an animatronic singing prop, representing a largemouth bass, invented in 1998 and popular in the early 2000s. The fish is made of latex rubber stretched over a plastic mechanical frame; at first glance it appears to be a mounted game fish. Conceived by Gemmy Industries product development vice president Joe Pellettieri following a visit to a Bass Pro Shop, it turns its head towards a person, facing them, and then wiggles its tail on its trophy plaque and sings kitschy cover songs, such as "Don't Worry, Be Happy" by Bobby Mcferrin, and "Take Me To The River" by Al Green, who said he received more royalties from it than from any other recording of the song. The singing mechanism was originally activated by a motion sensor and was originally intended to startle a passerby. Eventually a button was added to activate it. Other versions that were produced included a Christmas edition, Fish bones, and even a standing fish with a microphone. In addition, many variants of Big Mouth Billy Bass were also produced by Gemmy using different types of game fish and other aquatic animals, such as rainbow trout, catfish, lobsters, and so on. The concept was even later adapted into a large mounted deer head and a medium-sized mounted bear head. Big Mouth Billy Bass is pictured in Joshua Oppenheimer's film The Act of Killing (2012). The toy was also prominently featured in an episode of the popular HBO series The Sopranos and appeared in an episode of the BBC comedy The Office.
Bill "Billy" Bass was an all-star and Grey Cup champion running back in the Canadian Football League and one of the first players to break the colour barrier in Canadian football.
Bass attended University of Nevada, Reno and Tennessee State University, and was surrounded in controversy when a Nevada, Reno game was canceled because Mississippi State University's football team would not play them because Bass (and another teammate) were "Negroes". He started his pro career with the Chicago Rockets of the AAFC, where in 1947 he rushed for 44 yards and caught 8 passes for 79 yards. He then moved to Canada, where he played 11 games with the Montreal Alouettes. After trying out with the Rockets in 1949, he then moved on to the Toronto Argonauts where he would play 45 regular season and 9 playoff games in 4 seasons, also being selected an All-Star in 1951. He was also part of their 1950 and 1952 Grey Cup teams. Import player rules cost him his position with the Boatmen, but he played 1954 with the Ottawa Rough Riders and was player coach with the Toronto Balmy Beach Beachers in his final season.
Friendship- To you it means nothing
Time and Time Again
you betray friends
With lies- and your gossip
The stories you tell
can hurt like hell
It's your big mouth
and it's getting on my nerves you
know I wish you'd just shut it up.
It's your big mouth
and the shit that comes out
has nothing to do
with what your talking about
You know I want to trust you
but I can't
Your word's not given, it's lent.
My advice to you-
is to start somewhere
why don't you shut the up now-
It's your big mouth
and it's getting on my nerves you
know I wish you'd just shut it up.
It's your big mouth
and the shit that comes out
has nothing to do
