As I remember, the actual 'Doing the Hokey Cokey' bit, replaced into continually tested as status with ft somewhat aside, fingers on hips, and shifting hips from section to section. And it replaced into actually Hokey Cokey, not 'Poky'. P.s. in case you need an illustration, amazing bypass visit an old persons abode or club and ask them to exhibit you a thanks to do it. The u tube version said elsewhere is only a set of youngsters doing their personal ingredient depending on the 'classic' dance. additionally they don't seem to do the perfect bit the position all and diverse joins fingers with the fellow next to them to form a circle it really is then interested in the centre and sped up lower back various situations at the same time as singing "Oooh, do the Hokey Cokey, Oooh do the Hokey Cokey, Oooh do the Hokey Cokey, knees bend, fingers stretch, rah rah rah!" All very stupid of route, yet solid exciting requiring no certain dancing skills or skills from those collaborating. Very in many situations considered at East end activities years in the past alongside with Knees Up mom Brown. For both dances, it likely helped to be somewhat less than the effect of alcohol to take section.

Cokey.
P.s the internet spoils everything.
THE hokey cokey, the popular dance, has always been seen as an innocent, if raucous, form of entertainment. But an Anglican clergyman has now discovered a more sinister side: it originated as a parody of the Roman Catholic Church's Latin Mass.
Canon George Nairn-Briggs, Provost of Wakefield Cathedral, West Yorkshire, says that both the name of the dance and its actions were originally designed to satirise the traditional Mass and the clergy. The dance involves participants forming a chain and flinging their limbs about in line with commands.
Canon Nairn-Briggs said: "In the days when the priest celebrated the Mass with his back to the people and whispered the Latin words of consecration with many hand movements, the laity mimicked the movements as they saw them and the words as they misheard them." The words "hokey cokey" were a mishearing, or a deliberate parody, of the Latin phrase "Hoc est enim corpus meum", which translates as "This is my body".
Canon Nairn-Briggs also contends that another corruption of the same phrase is "hocus pocus", the words believed to be used by magicians when they were casting spells.
Historical sources appear to back up his theories. The Hokey Cokey became a popular dance in 1940s America and crossed the Atlantic with US soldiers. But its origins are much older and it seems to have gained popularity originally on this side of the Atlantic, before being taken to the US by refugees. An earlier folk dance version was performed in mainland Europe in the 19th century.
The Oxford English Dictionary says that "hokey cokey" comes from "hocus pocus", the traditional magicians' incantation that derives from a Latin phrase used in satanic masses, themselves parodies of the Latin Mass.
