Mikey Mouse Clubhouse

Ideas for a good attention getter for informative speech on Walt Disney & Mickey Mouse?

Have to make an informative speech for my speech class and i have everything - body, details, conclusion..but i can't come up with a good attention getter to start off. Any suggestions/ideas? My speech is about Walt Disney & how he came about creating Mickey Mouse.

1. You could start off with a rhetorical question like, "Who here has heard of Mickey Mouse? Everyone has, of course. And this is how he came to be"... or you could just simply state what your speech is about, "Hi, my name is _________ and I am going to talk to you about Walt Disney and his most famous creation, Mickey Mouse".
2. put your hands on your head to look like mouse ears, and chant: M-I-C! K-E-Y! M-O-U-S-E! (That's how every show of the Mickey Mouse Club used to start.)
3. You could start your speech by saying "hiya folks!" in a high pitched voice like Mickey. This will probably get everyones attention... Heck, it will probably get some laughs as well.
4. old Walt was a heavy-duty right winger who turned his friends in to the McCarthy hearings in the 1950's. he was some weirdo super-patriot.
