smart little caterpillar

i saw the coolest kid's toy while out walking baby boy yesterday (yes he needed to be walked & i need to browse shops - we still have a very symbiotic relationship). the little caterpillar above is actually 8 separate coloured balls making up 8 notes: do ray me fa so la tee doe. when put together in various arrangements it plays different tunes: 'mary had a little lamb', 'frere jacques' etc.
try as i might i could not get it to play 'stairway to heaven'.

You could try stamping on it. But that wouldn't be a nice thing to do would it?

well i couldn't very well do that in the store - could i? it was still in it's shiny packaging - there would be pupa everywhere.
