This is fun. It's the sort of silly fun pet that has gone viral before.
One thing. Calling any device "the first musical robot" ignores some interesting and important parts of well documented computational history that predate this product by hundreds of years:
Self playing organs(1800's), pianos(1800's), musical clocks(1500/1600's).. Things like this have existed for ages as fully automated and programmable musical "robots". They shaped 19th century ideas about computation. Ada Lovelace and Charles Babbage explicitly referenced musical automata in their work.
