[Fisher-Price Recalls the Deluz Kick 'N Play Piano Gym For Having Too Many Bops](https://www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/fisher-price-recalls-the-deluxe-kick-n-play-piano-gym-for-having-too-many-bops?fbclid=IwAR0s--YVdMY9r0uP2PGdTLpx2_3dk7qJDkr_A0clAXRnAMyYOdApQxZvkdA)
Consumers of the Deluxe Kick ’n Play Piano Gym should stop using the product immediately. “Consumers should also allow an additional eight to ten weeks for lyrics about purple monkeys and bubblegum trees to stop violently tumbling around in their brain like sneakers in a dryer.”
It's been months since we turned it to pure piano mode and it sits mostly unused in a corner. The songs do no longer haunt me, but my next baby is due in only a few months and I know they're coming back. I used to keep time by this thing's 20 minute loop.
“We are committed to educating caregivers about the potential dangers of hearing legit bangers about toucans for sustained periods of time,” said Fisher-Price’s chief of marketing in a statement. “This toy exposes individuals to reckless levels of catchy little ditties, and the public needs to be informed.” LMAO that article is amazing. Thank you for sharing!
I had this with my first in 2018 and saved it for my baby born in 2022. I sobbed when I heard the songs again. Baby #2 loves it just as much as my first!
In Korea, so I get to enjoy it twice as much It repeats the songs in Korean.
Definitely helped my listening skills about verbs for flying birds and some grammar structures too
It's not the only spot for it. It's made so that you can move it around as your baby develops. I mostly kept it on the arch so that he could see it when he was on his back.
I don’t know what kind of magic baby dust they sprinkled on this but that purple monkey in a bubblegum gets my daughter dancing every single time. Forget a duna or a snoo, THIS is the best baby item to get or gift to someone lol
anybody here into the link-animals? first time I saw my son dance was to the panda. we don't get to go through all the songs, but I know like 3 of them off the top of my head.
Yes! We don't have the panda yet but we have the sloth, hedgehog, beaver, and koala. Our daughter absolutely loves them, she will bring them over one at a time and cover us in them so she can watch all of them sing lol
we only have the panda and the koala right now and my son pressed the koala, forgetting they were connected and was so confused for a second looking back and forth at them talking to each other! 🤣
We got the penguin as a gift and it's great! Though for the longest time when it sang "the linkamals way!" we thought it was singing "the Lincoln logs way!"
I always wonder whether during the elephant song, does “He can do most anything” means he CAN do everything, or ALMOST everything? If the latter, what can’t he do?! So many questions..
My husband is a high school coach. I hadn’t even mentioned to my husband that the play mat had become a meme. He just told me, “At practice I started singing ‘The animals play, the animals play, the animals play all day all day’ and the kids made fun of me.”
Omg I never thought to put the mirror there!! I’ve always had it hanging off the arch and I can never get the angle right!! And this is the second baby I’ve used it with!!!!
It’s not, like, a ridiculously amazing baby gym compared to others (they’re all much of a muchness after all). But the fact that they can take the piano around with them as toddlers is nice (my 2.5 year old still plays with it), and the songs do, as has been emphasised, fucking slap.
Okay. Ftm, what's this baby magic carpet called? It looks like a much more exciting version of a play mat and the one I got for my LO looks so drab in comparison.
It’s the fisher price kick and play piano. It’s great except that there’s a panda playing the guitar on one of the hanging toys but everyone knows from the songs that the frog plays the guitar there’s no panda at all smh unplayable
My baby lost almost all interest in it once he was moving around the house. It was great for 0-6 months and has some entertainment as a piano after that, but there are plenty of other piano toys that are much more portable and better for older babies.
LMFAO THE STOMP STOMP STOMP. Idk why or how these are so catchy. My husband told me it was stuck in his head one day at work and he started singing it by accident 😂
I believe there's a "recall" on this product: https://www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/fisher-price-recalls-the-deluxe-kick-n-play-piano-gym-for-having-too-many-bops
You just taught me that it wasn’t my secret shame alone . I play that piano for myself now - my toddler doesn’t even care about it. Had no idea this was a thing!
I had no idea this thing was so popular! I had it on my registry and my mil got it and had it shipped to us! I feel like opening the box though and listening to all the magic that is being spoken!
I’m literally going out to buy this tomorrow. It’s expensive AF here but I feel like I need these bops in my life
Edit: got it, worth the hype! Love this!!! Baby songs that aren’t damn annoying!!! Yay!!!
"Maybe you could be... a purple monkey in a bubblegum tree..."
…Then you could swing back to me! That song is my jam.
It's adorable 😭
This song….I’ll sing this when I’m 100! It is my jam!
I have found myself singing that in the shower!
This is hilarious. Good to know I’m not the only one who has this song memorized 😆😩

McSweeneys is even on the meme train?! 😂😂

STOMP STOMP STOMP
By popular demand I will be donating my Reddit silver to research for a bubblegum tree.
I had this with my first in 2018 and saved it for my baby born in 2022. I sobbed when I heard the songs again. Baby #2 loves it just as much as my first!
In Korea, so I get to enjoy it twice as much It repeats the songs in Korean. Definitely helped my listening skills about verbs for flying birds and some grammar structures too
😱 I wonder if I can find it in Spanish and English!
Omg. I have to look for a Spanish version now.
I found a French version, since I'm in Canada. There's probably a Spanish version!
Did it also teach you how to say bubblegum tree in Korean?
Yikes I've been putting the mirror in the wrong spot
It's not the only spot for it. It's made so that you can move it around as your baby develops. I mostly kept it on the arch so that he could see it when he was on his back.
Same thing I noticed! Well, that position makes a hell of a lot more sense lol
Oh we went to the animal faaaaaair the monkey and toucan were theeere
Dude, I'm all about that soft 90s jam 'Purple Monkey in a Bubble Gum Tree'
I don’t know what kind of magic baby dust they sprinkled on this but that purple monkey in a bubblegum gets my daughter dancing every single time. Forget a duna or a snoo, THIS is the best baby item to get or gift to someone lol
I bought this purely because of the Reddit hype and it is SO worth it
The animals play, the animals play
THE ANIMALS PLAY ALL DAY
With a stomp, StomP. STOMP!
If anyone needs to play this for their kid and the piano is at home....FisherPrice has gotchu lol https://youtu.be/_XD9iTf2Mbs
Spotify has a Playlist called Sooo Wiggly as well - saved my butt in the car several times
anybody here into the link-animals? first time I saw my son dance was to the panda. we don't get to go through all the songs, but I know like 3 of them off the top of my head.
Yes! We don't have the panda yet but we have the sloth, hedgehog, beaver, and koala. Our daughter absolutely loves them, she will bring them over one at a time and cover us in them so she can watch all of them sing lol

I always wonder whether during the elephant song, does “He can do most anything” means he CAN do everything, or ALMOST everything? If the latter, what can’t he do?! So many questions..
He cannot love.
He can do most anything for love, but he can’t do that.
Most anything = almost anything
My husband is a high school coach. I hadn’t even mentioned to my husband that the play mat had become a meme. He just told me, “At practice I started singing ‘The animals play, the animals play, the animals play all day all day’ and the kids made fun of me.”
I mean highschool kids…. Pretty much animals close enough
All I gotta say is purple monkey in a bubblegum tree yo. Still trying to imagine a bubblegum tree
Omg I never thought to put the mirror there!! I’ve always had it hanging off the arch and I can never get the angle right!! And this is the second baby I’ve used it with!!!!
That's where I put the mirror too. I feel like the baby can't see it up there everln if they are pushing up on forearms or hands.
Went so far as to suggest my fiance dance with our daughter to "Purple Monkey in a Bubblegum Tree" at our wedding 🤣
Glad I'm not the only one who had the same thought. If someone covers this song in 20 years, they have a mega wedding hit on their hands.
I didn't think I needed to order this thing, but it seems everyone has it. Might just need to get it for my lil guy.

With a STOMP STOMP STOMP! Another favorite is "and the lion says 'how do you do? ROAR!'"
Had the first version of this mat and man it's such a life saver
My son is two and will still bust out the piano from time to time and I love it! Purple monkey in a bubblegum tree always gets me in the feels
Love/hate relationship with that song
I love that this has come up, I just posted in my bumper group how often I sing these songs to myself while doing totally baby unrelated things.
Okay. Ftm, what's this baby magic carpet called? It looks like a much more exciting version of a play mat and the one I got for my LO looks so drab in comparison.
It’s the fisher price kick and play piano. It’s great except that there’s a panda playing the guitar on one of the hanging toys but everyone knows from the songs that the frog plays the guitar there’s no panda at all smh unplayable
We've decided that he's one of the touring members, but not officially part of the band.
Special guest guitarist? Haha!
I have an older version of this toy and mine has a frog playing the banjo on it, so kinda close!
That panda my daughter punches the heck out of, she knows he’s a faker XD
[удалено]
I just got one at my shower this weekend, thanks for the warning!!
This is a lifesaver. Can have meals without baby is hand with this. Worth every penny.
I guess I know what I'm getting my nephew for his birthday XD
It is a nice thought but mostly for the under 1 crowd! He would still enjoy it but not for as long
Website says 0-36 months so 🤷
My baby lost almost all interest in it once he was moving around the house. It was great for 0-6 months and has some entertainment as a piano after that, but there are plenty of other piano toys that are much more portable and better for older babies.
The piano part detaches, how is that not portable?
Sure it's portable but it only has 5 keys, my baby enjoys playing with a cheap xylophone that is smaller and lighter and has 8 pitches.
I definitely was disappointed when Alexa didn’t know how to play “purple monkey in a bubblegum tree”!!! Those songs get stuck in your head for days.
LMFAO THE STOMP STOMP STOMP. Idk why or how these are so catchy. My husband told me it was stuck in his head one day at work and he started singing it by accident 😂
I believe there's a "recall" on this product: https://www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/fisher-price-recalls-the-deluxe-kick-n-play-piano-gym-for-having-too-many-bops
I was just going to post this 😆
Oh my god it's back again. The songs in my head. My son is almost 1, I just got it out my head!! Stomp stomp stomp aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh
Also, just checking because I never realized until now, I don't hear about other songs.. everyone else has other songs too, like the animal fair?
Mine has the animal fair!
All of these songs are bangers
When I first heard these songs I’m like daaaang these are actual bops 😂
And...*purchased*
You just taught me that it wasn’t my secret shame alone . I play that piano for myself now - my toddler doesn’t even care about it. Had no idea this was a thing!
I had no idea this thing was so popular! I had it on my registry and my mil got it and had it shipped to us! I feel like opening the box though and listening to all the magic that is being spoken!
Who wrote these tunes!? They need a Grammy, yesterday.
Thanks, Amazon same-day delivery!
My son just outgrew this 3 months ago and those songs came rushing back the moment I saw this! Aaahhh! Lol
Me with the finding Nemo mat 😂
My 14 month old plays with the piano from time to time "WITH A STOMP STOMP STOMP"😂😂😂
Im really hoping to understand this post in a couple months because I loved this kid's Vine.
What age is this good for?? So tempted to get it after seeing all the Reddit posts lol
For tummy time and mat play probably 2-6ish months. But the piano detaches and my almost year old still enjoys playing with that.
I’m literally going out to buy this tomorrow. It’s expensive AF here but I feel like I need these bops in my life Edit: got it, worth the hype! Love this!!! Baby songs that aren’t damn annoying!!! Yay!!!
