Only works if you pronounce "dune" like "doon", but I'm not going to let pronunciation get in the way of a good pun

They do rhyme, it's the bit at the start that's different. Dune is sort of "dyoon", not "doon". I should really learn the international phonetic alphabet to actually explain this properly.

Apparently both pronunciations are correct but I've never heard it pronounced any other way than doōn. But I think what is required for the joke to work is to pronounce doin' like doōn.

Definitely works best in a "eyyy, I'm walkin' 'ere!" kind of voice
