The makers really phoned in the song for this singing fire engine toy
Toys that sing and make noises are annoying enough without it being obvious that the makers expended the least amount of effort conceivable to produce the song you’re going to hear night and day until the kid gets bored or you remove the batteries. The manufacturers of this fire engine, demonstrated by radio presenter Matt Dyson, clearly phoned-in the sound effects.
If you’re going to make a kids fire engine toy with a song coming out of it you might as well put a little bit of effort into it and not just record the first lyrics that come into your head pic.twitter.com/f7iKbmuiiZ

Some people sort of liked it …

It was a familiar sound for others.
This was actually one of my kids’ favourite early toys, because the song is mad. It sticks in your head for ages. https://t.co/wH71ILuCh5

Perhaps unsurprisingly, it wasn’t one of a kind.
I love the taxi, I think the lyric goes: “I’m a cute little taxi driving round the town all day, tell me where to go and I’ll take you there.” I love that it calls itself cute. #feltcute

The convertible towing a caravan shouts "LET'S OVERTAKE OTHER VEHICLES!" Someone is bitter about something.

Just wait for the police car. It’s the most British thing ever: “It is my duty to maintain order!”

Twitter user Matt Coleman gave us a clip of the ambulance, and yes – it was of a similarly so-bad-it’s-good standard.
@tobytarrant never knew your old man had branched out into singing songs for toy cars 😅 pic.twitter.com/bgV5xUZkDC

And this is how the helicopter sounds.
This is just as bad. pic.twitter.com/D8BEaAM67F

Clearly, this is what you need to buy for the toddler whose parents you genuinely detest.
