What song is this? Sounds like the Grateful Dead

[@hintcollective]

The song is by Craig MacArthur called “Potato Deal”!

I made it to 7 minutes before the 3 year old thought it was taking too long and smashed it.

[@JDsCuriousCompany]

Oh no!! Haha :) I'm so sorry to hear that! Hope you can make it to the end next time! Thank you for your comment!

We are having a difficult time with the bucket and last part. It keeps breaking. Any tips?

[@JDsCuriousCompany]

Sorry for the delay in replying! I also had numerous failures with every corner of the arm. I would change the tiles where it currently breaks down. I would try to find the tiles that have stronger magnets and use them at the joint where the arm from the body and the arm from the bucket connect. Hope you can somehow manage to make the arm stay connected. Good luck!

So sorry to hear that! Try slowing the playback speed to 0.5 or 0.75. That might help you a little bit. Thanks!
