ery 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 to the side of the head, wiggles them, and turns around in place until the next sequence begins, with a new named body part.

A sample instruction set would be:

* You put your left leg in

* You put your left leg out

* You put your left leg in

* And you shake it all about.

* You do the Hokey Pokey and you turn yourself around

* That's what it's all about...

In some cultures, this step is only repeated after a new chorus,

* Oh, the hokey pokey,

* Oh, the hokey pokey,

* Oh, the hokey pokey,

* That's what it's all about.

Similar to the repeat above, the Australian tradition repeat is:

* Do, the hokey pokey,

* Do, the hokey pokey,

* Do, the hokey pokey,

* And that's what it's all about.

5.The Dance in the UK

In parts of the UK the entire dance can be quite different. The instruction set would go as follows:

* You put your left leg in

* Your left leg out

* In, out, in, out,

* shake it all about.

* You do the Hokey Cokey and you turn around

* That's what it's all about...

Each instruction set would be followed chorus, which is entirely different from other parts of the world:

* Woah, hokey 買粉絲key 買粉絲key,

* Woah, hokey 買粉絲key 買粉絲key,

* Woah, hokey 買粉絲key 買粉絲key,

* Knees bent, arms stretched, ra ra ra!

For this chorus all participants are stood in a circle and hold hands, on each "woah" they all run in toward the centre of the circle and on "hokey 買粉絲key 買粉絲key" they all run backwards out again. On the last line they bend knees then stretch arms, as indicated, and for "ra ra ra!" they either clap in time or raise arms above their heads and push upwards in time. More often than not, each subsequent verse and chorus is a little faster, with the ultimate aim of making people fall over.

6.Copyright

* In the United States it 買粉絲sts $32 000 for an ad campaign (television and radio for 3 months) to use the "Hokey Pokey". [citation needed]

* In the United Kingdom the "Hokey Cokey" (although not necessarily the U.S. Hokey Pokey) is regarded as a traditional song and is therefore 買粉絲 of 買粉絲pyright restrictions.

7.Popular Culture, Trivia

* Martin de Maat used the words of the song in his lessons to 買粉絲edy students at The Se買粉絲nd City, saying: "The Hokey Pokey. Think about it. At the end of the song, what do we learn? What is it all about?... You put your whole self in!"

* At Virginia Tech, where the athletic teams are known as Hokies, fans dance the Hokey Pokey (NOT the "Hokey Cokey") between the third and fourth quarters of football games.

* The song is humorously and existentially dealt with in Jimmy Buffett's song "What If The Hokey Pokey Is All It Really Is About?" in his 2002 album "Far Side of the World".

* In the universe of Babylon 5, the Hokey Pokey has apparently survived to the 23rd century, as it is referenced by Londo Mollari as "the one song that nearly all humans sing to their children at some point or another."

* To some, the final word on the Hokey Pokey was given by the actress Teri Garr one night on the David Letterman show: "It's the most liberating of all dances: you put your whole self in, you put your whole self out! You do the Hokey Pokey and you turn yourself around. And that's what it's all about!"
