In similar vein, there's the version of Old MacDonald that we used to use as a drama warm-up...
Everyone sings, then when it comes to what he had on his farm, the person whose turn it is to nominate can say *anything* except an actual animal/bird. Then you try to quickly think of and make the noise of that thing without breaking the rhythm of the song if possible. (Obviously for children you can let them take a bit longer to think, and by the time you've sung a few verses laughter tends to slow you down anyway.) Once you've sung "Old MacDonald had a bookcase", "Old MacDonald had a Ferrari", and "Old MacDonald had terrible existential angst" going back to pigs and cows seems very dull. ;-)
