Hey Dune!

Hey Dune, made of sand.
You take sand and make it hummm.
Remember to let us climb your slopes,
Then we can start to make you humm.

This dune in Altyn-Yemyel national park is known to 'sing'.

Hey Dune, don't be afraid.
You were made to sing a great song.
The minute we cause an avalanche,
Then you begin to hum along.

Chris makes progress up the dune

And anytime you feel the pain, hey Dune, refrain,
Don't carry your sand to Kyrgyzstan.
For well you know that it's a fool who plays it cool
By taking his world to, say, Uzbekistan.

The top is rewarding, but the way down is the highlight.

Hey Dune, let us slide down,
Your beautiful wind swept sides.
Remember to let us climb up your slopes,
Then you and I can start to elide.

Dune, where's my car?

So let it out and let it in, hey Dune, begin,
You're waiting for someone to perform with.
And don't you know that it's just you, hey Dune, you'll do,
The movement you need is on your sand slopes.

Aaaaaaaaaaa si wennnnnnnnnyaaaaaaaaaa

Hey Dune, made of sand.
You take sand and make it better.
Remember to let us climb up your slopes,
Then we'll begin to make it
Better better better better better better, oh.

If you dig your elbows in, it humms magnificently. Remarkable.

Then you can start to make it better.

and Chris the redeemer in the background.

Na na na na na, na na na, hey Dune...
