It's just a completely pointless scene the writers put in for reasons even we can't fathom. At least it has spawned a meme for itself. The Big Lipped Alligator Moment Meme! The rules are simple.
1. A scene that comes right out of nowhere.
2. Has little to no bearing whatsoever on the plot.
3. Is WAY over the top in terms of ridiculousness, even for the context of the movie.
4. When it's over, no one ever speaks of it again in public.
I'm sure you'll find more if you look.
In all honesty, I don't know why the writers did that. No one does. Just do your best to enjoy it's madness, even though you probably won't. :)

is it male or female
It was a male, just look at the name of who provided the voice: Ken Page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_Page).
why a bone in its nose
According to wikipedia, the alligator was a voodoo witch doctor (which would make sense by looking at where he lives), so that would explain why.

I know...it was soooo weird...MarzGurl's explanation about the alligator said it all. Anyways here's a great song I'm listening to I want to to share.

Oh, and I would suggest to watch the music video for it, too, it's really well done!

Nice song , HEY was that a big lipped alligater moment when you metioned the song ! ? :lol :lol
Anyway , I found a big lipped alligater moment in my neighbour totoro !

Totoro !! :lol

if you notice any other Big lipped alligater moments in films , tell me , their funny ! :wave

I loved that song as a kid as well. It was nice and catchy.

The scene you just mentioned in Totoro would not be a Big Lipped Alligator Moment.
A BLAM is a far, far over-the-top sequence that is never mentioned again. For example:
* The Fire Gang in Labyrinth
* The Tunnel scene in the original Willy Wonka movie
* The scene that coined the term in All Dogs Go to Heaven
Like said before. The toad does not count...it was just one little silly moment, but not a BLAM
-
Not sure if it would count, I'm guessing it may not, but in My Brave Little Toaster there's a scene with singing in a natural setting with animals and afterwards it's as if it never happened and seems oddly out of tune to the movie, to me anyway.
I do agree about the Willy Wonka tunnel scene, it is way over the top, to me, and seems to come from nowhere.
-
oh , I guess it was just a random moment then :lol I love that film !
I wonder if there are any more in all dogs go to heaven ?....

There's a whole list of B.L.A.M.s on this page (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BigLippedAlligatorMoment)...
Of course, it's on TvTropes, which everyone knows can be "hazardous to your health (http://xkcd.com/609/)"...

Did you have the CD? Or did you hear it on the radio? If so, I envy you cause here where I live the only song of her's that plays anymore is "Torn".
