Tidying-up music!

Not at all sure that I'm posting this in the right category (sorry!) but need suggestions please for a good 3-5 minute piece of music that can be identified and used by 3 yr-olds as a 'tidying up' song. It ideally should be something stimulating and upbeat. Need to get something on tape by the end of the week and I'm brain dead (broken nights!!)so would be very grateful for any suggestions. The group of 3 yr-olds who will be listening to it are already familiar with traditional nursery rhymes so an alternative musical piece (classical or contemporary)would be best but any ideas at all very gratefully received ... !

Sorry - was away from my computer yesterday - thank you so much for suggestions. Much appreciated!!

I've now been informed that the playgroup my dd attends has decided to tape 10 tunes (to use for different specific activities) and then vote for the ones they like best/the children respond to most, so if anyone has any further suggestions I'd still be very grateful for them. Thanks again!
