I've had my Furby's since the first came out. My original ones can talk and sing, burp etc. They do come with so much vocabulary, but the more you work with them the more the learn. Wake them up and let them sit around with you. They will talk to each other, some times it takes a minute for them to get started. Mine sing songs one will start and the other finishes or they sing together. they play peek a boo. They were banned here in Fl at NASA becauses they could repeat what they heard. They are just like kids, the more you interact the more the do and say. I have a teenager and sometimes I can't believe what they pick up just sitting around in the same room. Keep batteries fresh.
