Bill Oddie (he of Springwatch and birding fame, but was known for being a musician and general idiot long before the Goodies) wrote a song called 'stuff that gibbon', to a square dance type rythmn, in which he exhorts his dancers to:

Promenade that gibbon round the hall,
bounce him up and down like a rubber ball,
drop him on the floor and trample on his toos
Swinging by his tail from the chandelier,
happy with a hamster in his ear,
All he needs is a parrot up his nose.

Often wanted to slip that one into a ceilidh and see what would happen... but then I is an evil little sod at heart!
