Evidently.
An awful lot of life's concerns seem to focus on something that might reasonably be called the "hokey pokey."

When I was a small child, I and my gang of worshipers, would gather in a circle and dance and chant. It was then that I learned about the hokey-pokey--and that it IS what it's all about. I have believed it ever since, and am, in fact, counting upon it continuing to be so. :)

That depends what you mean? Hokey-pokey is a type of Ice Cream. The Hokey -cokey is a light -hearted Cockney dance, and is definitely what it's all about.I like both of them.

You aren't listening. The lyrics go, "You do the hokey-pokey and you spin yourself around./That's what it's all about."
The hokey-pokey is not what it's all about. DOING the hokey-pokey is what it's all about.
Right now, put your left foot in...

Hokey Pokey, Hokey-Cokey & Hanky Panky -
The hokey-pokey is a children's game/dance. It goes like this:
You put your left hand in, you put you left hand out, you do the hokey-pokey and you shake it all about, you do the hokey-pokey and you turn yourself around...that's what it's all about!!
The dance continues with other body parts. Hokey-pokey with someone's spouse is the same as hanky-panky, fooling around.

1847, "false cheap material," alteration of hocus-pocus. Applied especially to cheap ice cream sold by street vendors (1884).
http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=hokey-pokey&r=66
The term was first applied to ice cream in Britain. Its sellers from handcarts, the hokey-pokey men, were invariably Italians who had fled poverty in their own country. The term’s history matches their emigration — it was recorded in the UK in 1884 and in the eastern US in 1886.
