I hated hand-motion songs. I thought they were dumb, maybe because I could never get the motions straight.

And the dumbest of all was "Under the spreading chestnut tree" because both the motions AND the song were dumb.

Under the spreading chestnut tree
Where I knelt down upon my knee
We were as happy as could be
Under the spreading chestnut tree

spreading - spread arms above head
chest - strike chest
nut - knock on top of head

But hey, I can sing "Hole in the Bottom of the Sea" really fast.
