Ozzy Osbourne, Prince of Darkness, biter of dove & bat heads, consumer of enough drugs to kill a full-grown bull elephant, has a new project in the works: voicing a character on Nickelodeon’s Bubble Guppies.

According to the network, Ozzy will be playing Sid Fishy, “a rock and roll fish who loves being rotten,” – a name & description that curiously contains not one, but two Sex Pistols references.

And as far as kid’s shows go, the character looks pretty awesome. He has green skin and a gold & gap-toothed smile, in addition to rocking a red mohawk, eyebrow & fin rings, and a slime gun.

“The green liquid is Sid Fishy’s ‘stink sauce’ made up of different smells such as stinky socks and rotten eggs,” a show rep told Rolling Stone. “He wants to use the stink sauce to cover Big Bubble City and all its citizen to make them stinky.” Clearly a bad dude, and a riveting plot conflict.

“The whole reason I did the show was for Pearl,” Ozzy said, speaking about his 2-year-old granddaughter. “She has Nick Jr. on 24/7. I can’t wait to see her reaction when she hears my voice come from Sid Fishy’s mouth.” I don’t know what the facial expression of traumatization looks like, but that will probably be her reaction. Hearing a voice like Ozzy’s in real life is jarring enough to a toddler without hearing it suddenly come on the TV in the form of a talking fish as well.

However, this isn’t Ozzy’s first animated rodeo. He previously appeared as a cartoon in the video game Brutal Legend, the film Gnomeo & Juliet, the shows Legend of the Earth Troll and Fish Hooks, and the last time I dropped acid while listening to Black Sabbath for twelve hours straight.

Bubble Guppies debuted in 2011 and is currently in the midst of its third season.
