Ancient Egypt song about Tutankhamun

“Hootin’ Rootin’ Tutankhamun” is written in the style of a Hoe Down. The introductory notes can be played on the open strings of a violin or on a glockenspiel. It’s a sample song from a set of ten songs on the theme of “Ancient Egypt”. The complete set is available from here on TES under the heading “Ancient Egypt” at a cost of £5. (But see the note below!). It includes a PDF of the song pack, plus a PowerPoint of all the songs with embedded backing tracks, mp3 audio files, lyrics and teacher’s notes. Donna has tried to make the songs fun to sing as well as being factually accurate!
