It is well known in English-speaking countries. It originates in a British folk trip the light fantastic, with variants attested as early as 1826. The song and accompanying dance peaked in popularity as a music hall song and novelty trip the light fantastic in the mid-1940s in the UK. The song became a chart hit twice in the 1980s. The first UK hit was by the Snowmen, which peaked at UK No. 18 in 1981.

Origins and pregnant [edit]

Despite several claims of a recent invention, numerous variants of the song exist with similar dances and lyrics dating back to the 19th century. One of the earlier variants, with a very like dance to the modern one, is establish in Robert Chambers' Popular Rhymes of Scotland from 1842^[two]

the words there are given as

Fal de ral la, fal de ral la:

Hinkumbooby, round about;

Right hands in, and left hands out,

Hinkumbooby, circular about;

Fal de ral la, fal de ral la.^[iii]

A later variant of this vocal is the Shaker song "Hinkum-Booby", which had more similar lyrics to the modern song and was published in Edward Deming Andrews' A souvenir to be simple in 1940: (p. 42).^[4]

A song rendered ("with advisable gestures") by two sisters from Canterbury, England while on a visit to Bridgewater, N.H. in 1857 start an "English/Scottish ditty" thus:

I put my right paw in,

I put my right mitt out,

In out, in out.

milkshake it all about.

Equally the song continues, the "left manus" is put in, and so the "right foot," and so the "left foot," and then "my whole head." . . . [I]t does not seem to accept been much used in Shaker societies.

A version known every bit "Ugly Mug" is described in 1872:^[5]

I put my correct hand in

I put my right paw out

I give my right paw, milkshake, milk shake, shake, and turn myself about

A version from c. 1891 from the boondocks of Golspie in Scotland was published by Edward W. B. Nicholson:

Hilli ballu ballai!

Hilli ballu ballight!

Hilli ballu ballai!

Upon a Saturday night.

Put all your right feet out,

Put all your left feet in,

Turn them a fiddling, a little,

And turn yourselves nearly.^[half-dozen]

In the book English Folk-Rhymes, published 1892, a version of the song originating from Sheffield is given:

Can yous dance looby, looby,

Can y'all dance looby, looby,

Tin can yous trip the light fantastic toe looby, looby,

All on a Friday night?

Yous put your right pes in;

And then you accept information technology out,

And wag it, and wag it, and wag information technology,

Then turn and turn nigh.^[7]

Some early versions of this vocal thus bear witness a marked resemblance to the modernistic vocal Looby Loo, and the songs take been described every bit having a common origin.^[8]

In the volume Charming Talks nigh People and Places, published circa 1900,^[ix] there is a song with music on page 163 entitled "Plow The Right Manus In". It has ix verses, which run thus: "Turn the right mitt in, turn the correct mitt out, give your easily a very good milkshake, and turn your trunk around." Additional verses include v2. left manus...; v3. both hands...; v4. right foot...; v5. left pes...; v6. both feet...; v7. right cheek...; v8. left cheek...; and, v9. both cheeks... The tune is not the same as the later popular version of the Hokey cokey but the poetry is more similar as information technology states to "plough your body around." No author or composer was credited.

In recent times various other claims nigh the origins of the song have arisen, though they are all contradicted past the publication history. According to one such account,^[10] in 1940, during the Rush in London, a Canadian officer suggested to Al Tabor, a British bandleader of the 1920s–1940s, that he write a political party song with actions similar to "Under the Spreading Chestnut Tree". The inspiration for the vocal'southward championship that resulted, "The Hokey Pokey", supposedly came from an ice cream vendor whom Tabor had heard as a boy, calling out, "Hokey pokey penny a lump. Take a lick brand you jump". A well known lyricist/songwriter/music publisher of the time, Jimmy Kennedy, reneged on a financial agreement to promote and publish information technology, and finally Tabor settled out of court, giving upwards all rights to the number.

In 2008, an Anglican cleric, Canon Matthew Damon, Provost of Wakefield Cathedral, West Yorkshire, claimed that the trip the light fantastic movements were a parody of the traditional Catholic Latin Mass.^[11] Up until the reforms of Vatican 2, the priest performed his movements facing the altar rather than the congregation, who could not hear the words very well, nor sympathize the Latin, nor clearly see his movements. At i point the priest would say "Hoc est corpus meum" pregnant "This is My body". That theory led Scottish political leader Michael Matheson in 2008 to urge police force action "against individuals who apply information technology [the vocal and trip the light fantastic toe] to taunt Catholics". Matheson'southward claim was deemed ridiculous by fans from both sides of the Old House (the rival Glasgow football teams Celtic and Rangers) and calls were fabricated on fans' forums for both sides to join together to sing the vocal on 27 December 2008 at Ibrox Stadium.^[12] Close relatives of Jimmy Kennedy and Al Tabor have publicly stated their recollections of the origin and pregnant of the Hokey Cokey, and take denied its connectedness to the Mass.^[13] ^[14] Those accounts differ, but they are all contradicted past the fact that the song existed and was published decades before its supposed composition in the 1940s.

Trip the light fantastic moves [edit]

U.k. and Ireland style of dance [edit]

The didactics prepare goes every bit follows:

You put your [left arm] in,
Your [left arm] out:
You put your [left arm] in
And you lot shake it all almost.
You practise the hokey cokey,
And y'all turn yourself around.
That's what it's all about!

On "You do the hokey cokey", each participant joins their right and left hands at the fingertips to make a chevron and rocks the chevron from side to side. After that the participants separately, only in time with the others, turn around (unremarkably clockwise when viewed from in a higher place – novices may get in the opposite management to the chief group, but this adds more hilarity to this joyous, novelty dance). The hands are either still joined together, or moved as in a jogging move – dependent on local tradition or private option.

Each instruction set up is followed by a chorus, entirely different from other parts of the globe. There is either a caller, within or outside the grouping, or the instructions are called by the whole group – which tin add together to confusion and is laughed off every bit part of the dance's charm and amusement.

Whoa, hokey cokey cokey
Whoa, hokey cokey cokey
Whoa, hokey cokey cokey
Knees bend, artillery stretch,
Rah, rah, rah!

The starting time 3 lines of this chorus are sometimes rendered 'Whoa, the hokey cokey', with the 'whoa' lasting three beats instead of 2. It can too be said "Whoa, the hokey cokey cokey".

For this chorus all participants stand in a circle and concord hands: on each "Whoa" they raise their joined hands in the air and run in toward the eye of the circle, and on "...the hokey cokey" they run backwards out again. This instruction and chorus are repeated for the other limb, then for the upper right, then upper left arm. Either the upper or lower limbs may showtime commencement, and either left or correct, depending on local tradition, or by random choice on the night. On the penultimate line they curve knees and so stretch arms, equally indicated, and on "Rah, rah, rah!" they either clap in time or heighten arms in a higher place their heads and push button upwards in time. Sometimes each subsequent verse and chorus is a little faster and louder, with the ultimate aim of making people chaotically come across each other in gleeful abandon. There is a final instruction fix with "you put your whole self in, etc", cramming the centre of the dance floor.

Often, the final chorus is sung twice, the second time fifty-fifty faster and the vocal ended with the joyous dirge, 'yeah tiddly aye tie, brown bread!'.

U.s. style of dance [edit]

The dance follows the instructions given in the lyrics of the vocal, which may be prompted past a bandleader, a participant, or a recording. A sample instruction sequence would be:

Yous put your [right leg] in,
You put your [correct leg] out;
Yous put your [right leg] in,
And you shake information technology all nearly.
You do the hokey pokey,
And you lot plow yourself around.
That's what information technology's all virtually! Aye!

Participants stand up in a circumvolve. On "in" they put the appropriate body function in the circle, and on "out" they put it out of the circle. On "And y'all milk shake information technology all about", the torso part is shaken three times (on "shake", "all", and "-bout", respectively). Throughout "You do the hokey pokey, / And yous turn yourself around", the participants spin in a complete circle with the arms raised at ninety° angles and the index fingers pointed up, shaking their arms up and downwards and their hips side to side 7 times (on "do", "hoke-", "poke-", "and", "turn", "-self", and "-round" respectively). For the final "That's what it's all almost", the participants clap with their hands out once on "that's" and "what" each, clap under the knee with the leg lifted up on "all", handclapping behind the back on "a-", and finally one more clap with the artillery out on "-tour".

The body parts usually included are, in gild, "right foot", "left pes", "right mitt", "left mitt", "head", "buttocks" (or "behind"), fingers, toes and "whole self"; the torso parts "correct elbow", "left elbow", "right hip", and "left hip" are often included as well.

The last verse goes:

You exercise the hokey pokey,
The hokey pokey,
The hokey pokey.
That's what it's all well-nigh! Yeah!

On each "pokey", the participants over again raise the arms at ninety° angles with the index fingers pointed up, shaking their arms up and down and their hips side to side v times.
