Sad news
With all the sadness and trauma going on in the world at the moment, it is worth reflecting on the death of a very important person, which almost went unnoticed.
Larry LaPrise, the man who wrote "The Hokey Pokey", died peacefully at the age of 93. The most traumatic part for his family was getting him into the coffin.
They put his left leg in. And that's when the trouble started ...

Shut up - you know its funny, so smile!

Allegedly, it'll cost you $32,000 to sing "Hokey Pokey" but you can do the "Hokey Cokey" for free...

The "Hokey Pokey" (US version) was featured in the TV series Babylon 5 when London Mollari of the Centauri tried to figure what it was all about.
