    Damn, the dude in the video could be my twin. Go here to see for yourself, http://outhouserag.typepad.com/outhouserag/2008/01/this-guy-could.html

    If you know this guy please have him get in touch with me. Thanks

    Cute! I remember baby-sitting a kid who had a doll that could play five notes when squeezed (one for each limb, and one in the tummy), and I would play the opening measures of Beethoven’s “Ode to Joy” on it, as well as the opening of a Domenico Scarlatti keyboard sonata. The range is not sufficient for “Twinkle, Twinkle,” but you can play “Mary Had a Little Lamb” on it too.

    Ode to Joy is pretty simple to play, because it moves in whole tones most of the time. Another one you can play on most things is A la Clair de Lune (the nursery rhyme, not the Debussey piece) or Oh When the Saints.
    Also, you can kind of play Starman from Mario, but to be honest it doesn’t sound that good (its pretty much TWO CHORDS).

    That’s nothing! I can play “Crazy Train” and “Iron Man” on my niece’s octopus. Seriously.

    I’m so glad that nobody gave this noisy gift to my kids!

    Bruce: good thing you found your long-lost twin before you accidentally married him (like those kids in Britain). Although, with skills like this, perhaps you’d be better off if he stayed long-lost.

    Dude needs better rhythm.
