I've called it about a thousand times (literally!) using Old Joe Clark as the tune. I especially like Old Joe because at times during the dance I'll find places to sing out some of the lyrics, a verse or two and parts of the chorus... round and round, old joe clark, round and round we go... What could be more appropriate?
   And I never tire of the tune. Oh, sometimes my right arm has gotten a little sore after about thirty repeats, but once you're over the hump, so to speak, you're home free and can create... that's when it gets good.
