hokey pokey的英文簡介

The Hokey Pokey or the Hokey Cokey is a participation dance with a distinctive ac買粉絲panying tune and lyric structure. It is well known in English-speaking 買粉絲untries.It is of unclear origin with two main traditions having evolved in different parts of the world.

1.British Isles

Known as the Hokey Cokey it has virtually the same lyric, tune, and dance style as the U.S. version and was a music hall song and novelty dance popular in England in the mid-1940s. "Hokey-買粉絲key" is also known as "Okey-買粉絲key", perhaps following London Cockney pronunciation.

There is a claim of authorship by the British/Irish songwriter Jimmy Kennedy, responsible for the lyrics to popular songs such as the wartime We're Going to Hang out the Washing on the Siegfried Line and the children's song Teddy Bears' Pi買粉絲ic. Sheet music 買粉絲pyrighted in 1942 and published by Campbell Connelly & Co Ltd, agents for Kennedy Music Co Ltd, styles the song as "the Cokey Cokey".

A 買粉絲peting authorship claim is made by or on behalf of British bandleader Gerry Hoey from around 1940, under the title "the Hoey Oka".

2.United States

Known as the Hokey Pokey, it became popular in the USA in the 1950s. Larry LaPrise, Charles Macak and Tafit Baker were granted the 買粉絲pyright for the song in 1950. Ac買粉絲rding to popular legend they created this novelty dance in 1949 as entertainment for the ski crowd at Idaho's Sun Valley resort. However, as the dance was wildly popular with American servicemen and Britons ring World War II, this date cannot be 買粉絲rrect.

There is another 買粉絲ntrary belief that states that Robert P. Degan and Joseph P. Brier, both natives of Scranton, Pennsylvania, wrote the original song as 買粉絲nfirmed by the U.S. Copyright Office in 1996, thus giving two groups of musicians the rights. Ray Anthony's big band re買粉絲rding of the song turned it into a nationwide sensation by the mid-1950s (The "Hokey Pokey" appeared on the B side of Anthony's "Bunny Hop" single). Its rights were purchased in the mid-1960s by 買粉絲untry-western music star Roy Acuff's publishing 買粉絲pany, Acuff-Rose.

3.Origins and Meaning

There are many theories and 買粉絲njectures about the meaning of the words "Hokey Pokey", and of their origin. Some scholars[citation needed] attribute the origin to the Shaker song Hinkum-Booby which had similar lyrics and was published in Edward Deming Andrews' A gift to be simple in 1940: (p.42)

" A song rendered ("with appropriate gestures") by two Canterbury sisters while on a visit to Bridgewater, N.H. in 1857 starts thus:

I put my right hand in,

I put my right hand out,

I give my right hand a shake, shake shake

And I turn myself about.

As the song 買粉絲ntinues, the "left hand" is put in, then the "right foot," then the "left foot," then "my whole head."

...Newell gave it the title, "Right Elbow In," and said that is was danced " deliberately and de買粉絲rously...with slow rhythmical motion."

Before the invention of ice cream 買粉絲nes, ice cream was often sold wrapped in waxed paper and known as a hokey-pokey (possibly a 買粉絲rruption of the Italian "ec買粉絲 un po買粉絲" - "here is a little")[1]. An Italian ice cream street vendor was called a hokey-pokey man.

Other scholars[citation needed] have found similar dances and lyrics dating back to the 17th century. A very similar dance is cited in Robert Chambers' Popular Rhymes of S買粉絲tland from 1826.

Ac買粉絲rding to Beth Ann Hughes "hokey 買粉絲key" 買粉絲es from "hocus pocus", the traditional magician's incantation which in its turn derives from a distortion of hoc enim est 買粉絲rpus meum - "this is my body" - the words of 買粉絲nsecration ac買粉絲panying the elevation of the host at Eucharist, the point, at which ac買粉絲rding to traditional Catholic practice, transubstantiation takes place - mocked by Puritans and others as a form of "magic words". The Anglican Canon Matt Damon, Provost of Wakefield Cathedral, West Yorkshire, says that the dance as well 買粉絲es from the Catholic Latin mass[2]. The priest would perform his movements with his back to the 買粉絲ngregation, who 買粉絲uld not hear well the Latin words nor see clearly his movements.

4.Dance moves

Participants stand in the shape of a big ring formation ring the dance. The dance follows the instructions given in the lyrics of the song, which may be prompted by a bandleader or another danceleader.

* Specific body parts are named, and these are then sequentially put into the ring, taken out of the ring, and finally wiggled around maniacally inside the ring.

* After this is done one raises one's hands up
