Man, this makes my day. I was born during the original production run and, of course, had one of these. Lovely, fun little toy. So when our first child was born and some kind family member bought her one, it put a big smile on my face…

…until I looked closer! Fraud! Deception! And saddest of all, I tried the same thing foone did, knowing that the unused binary codes (maybe not 0000 but surely the other five) were surely hiding a few extra songs. But no, complete and total disappointment. Par for the course.

This thing has survived two young daughters now, but it is utterly devoid of soul.




They probably skip 0000, 1111 and all single bit ones because those are the most likely codes you get if you press the buttons with a finger?
