"The Dunne Song" is always good for kids (or drunk college crowds) if you do the hand gestures to go with the chorus ... really gets them going. Since I don't know if the hand gestures are available as a video online, I'll describe as best as possible. Motion happens at word in CAPS. "For there was HIGH Dunne" - point up w/ both hands "and LOW Dunne" - point down w/ both hands "OVER Dunne" - tough describe: kinda "scoop" air with both hands at shoulder height...kinda like they're rolling on a 50 gallon drum "and UNDER Dunne" - "slide" the hands (palm down) under your imaginary 50 gallon drum "All the little younger Dunnes" - which every syllable, alternate both hands like you're patting kids on the head "Who were IN" - point out towards crowd with one hand for 'in' "And OUT the run" - @ the word 'out' pull hand back with your thumb up...like you were calling someone 'out' in baseball "There was OLD Dunne, YOUNG Dunne, YOUNGER Dunne's YOUNGEST son" - start with your right hand at eye-level with 'old', and for each alternating age, alternate left/right hand lower than the other...like they're moving down rungs on a ladder "YOUNG Dunne will be OLDER Dunne when the OLDEST Dunne..." - use alternating hands to 'climb up the ladder' "...is DONE." - move the thumb across the neck, like you're signaling 'dead' Okay, better get back to work now...good luck!
