I always had a thought of doing that song. (I asssume we're talking about Gitarzan...the Ray Stevens song)
I imagine it with a Tarzan puppet on one hand and a Jane puppet on the other. And just get a volunteer to do the part of the monkey. (When I point at you just go "hoo hoo hoo") But it could just as easily be done with 2 or 3 other clowns.
My fear in performing this song for kids is it might be a little too off the wall for them...it is a song geared to grownups. Who else is gonna get the line "he swings thru the trees without a trapeze...in his BVDs" (not to mention the line about the pet monkey that likes to get drunk)
Anyway, yeah...put a face to the characters. If I tried to perform it with just me singing the song...I can pretty safely bet I'd get that look from the kids that suggests I just sprouted a second head. (sometimes that look can be a pretty good instructor)
