a search for cactus toy on taobao returns many sellers of the same product (for as cheap as 5USD). Looks like it's quite popular in China.

One seller from beijing even uses the same Polish song in its ads:

And in the cactus playlist there goes a song titled "Dancing Polish Cow" =)

The first entry of the song list is 生日快乐恶搞版 (happy birthday prank version) and the fifth is 尼玛情歌 (Nima love song, where Nima is a homophone of 你妈, your mother). I suspect whoever selected the songs for that cactus was well aware of what they were doing when including the Polish song, and they were having great fun.

If anyone really wants it, it's available on AliExpress for around 5-7 USD including shipping to pretty much anywhere in the world
