I'm pretty sure Kis posted this a few months ago...

Just trying to shake it all about.

My three year old just sang the Hokey Pokey. He remembered the words.

Like it or not, we live on a planet where Hokey Pokey will be remembered.

Hokey Pokey Linky

words and music auf englandisch

auf deutsch (teilweise):

  • Tu' den rechten Fuß rein, tu' den rechten Fuß raus,
  • Tu' den rechten Fuß rein und schüttel ihn gut aus!
  • Du tanzt den Hookä-Pookä und drehst dich einmal um;
  • Nur frag' mich nicht "warum"?!
 
It's funny, but, just FYI, it's an old joke that has been going around the internet since at least 1996.

musta been a bad day for celebs, here's another funeral announcement:

Sad news...

Please join me in remembering a great icon of the entertainment community.

The Pillsbury Doughboy died yesterday of a yeast infection and trauma
complications from repeated pokes

in the belly. He was 71.


Doughboy was buried in a lightly greased coffin.

Dozens of celebrities turned out to pay their respects, including Mrs.
Butterworth, Hungry Jack,the California Raisins, Betty Crocker, the Hostess
Twinkies, and Captain Crunch.


The grave site was piled high with flours.

Aunt Jemima deliveredthe eulogy and lovingly described Doughboy as a man who
never knew how much he was kneaded.

Doughboy rose quickly in show business, but his later life was filled with
turnovers.

He was not considered a very smart cookie,wasting much of his dough on
half-baked schemes.

Despite being a little flaky at times he still was a crusty old man and was
considered a positive roll
model for millions.

Doughboy is survived by his wife Play Dough, two children, John Dough and
Jane Dough, plus they had one in the oven.

He is also survived by hiselderly father, Pop Tart.

The funeral was held at 3:50 for about 20 minutes.


If this made you smile for even a brief second, please rise to the occasion
and take time to pass it on and share that smile with someone else who may
be having a crumby day and kneads it.
 
I've always like that joke:) However, once you are over the age of 6 and are not on rollerskates, then the Hokey Pokey should never be danced again. I made it painfully clear to the DJ at my wedding that I had a list of songs that were NOT to be played.

Hokey Pokey
Chicken Dance
Electric Slide
Celebration
Macarena

No matter who requested it, these were not to be played. I always thought a reception should be fun, yet classy. Not cheeseball dances that make you look like an @$$. It turned out for the better:)

I couldn't agree more. Why can't white people dance to music without having to gimic it up. I can't stand seeing adults dance to the frigging hokey pokey at weddings. Its OK that we're white and most of us have no rythm. Give it your best shot and have fun without turning yourself into a friggin cliche'. You'd never catch that hokey pokey bullshat at a black wedding, and I've never seen it at a Cajun wedding (they are the best by the way).

My dad was an excellent dancer. His town actually sponsored him for American Bandstand. Cajuns dance a lot anyway. That happens when you're drunk a lot. My sister and I both danced a lot growing up, and right on through college. We were the ones on the dance floor first. I've been teaching Hannah since she could walk. Just trying to train the white out of her. Its funny to me that somehow white people lost the ability to dance, and I can't figure out when. My grandparents on both sides could ballroom dance like crazy. My mom and dad did that 50's jitterbug kinda dancing. But today, white people can't dance. It troubles me.
 
L:O:L
Here I am saying .I better read this one now , it sounds important . Then I go O:K: its a joke . Then of course I begin to realise I had been taken by a joke that is so old its grown legs
. An old fogeytaken in by the Hokey Pokey .
The old ones are still the best . Just remember turn-about is fair play . I have one coming up just for you . I just have to work with someone who is good with graphics .

I think I marveled about when we lost our rythm and speculated that it was after my parents generation (baby boomers). That would exclude both of those gentlemen whom I've never heard anyone pronounce to be very good dancers. Don't get mad at me because white people can't dance very well anymore. Yes its a generalization, but its a goodun. Aparantly we can't jump either.
 
Hey I thought this was a light hearted thread . We went from the Hokey Pokey to the Pillsbury doughboy in fine style . Some of you guys get up on the wrong side of the bed this morning ?
 
I should have put in smileys, but it was a Quick Reply and none are avail. Sorry. I'm not mad at all and was just kinda ribbing Munk. Here is a few LOL's just to lighten it up. LOL. LOL. LOL. ;-)
 
I have the rhythm and timing of an unscheduled tax audit . L:O:L
Thats only when I try to do things . When I just let things go its a lot better . Is it possible that the loss of connection with music came about when artists were turned into craftsman who were turned into assemblyline workers ? I have looked at this procedure over time . I did not look at it from a musical standpoint . Can it be work related ?

LOL. Dang Kevin, I'm cracking up with that tax audit joke. You may be right about the reason. I can't say. I'm no musician, and my music tastes are purely for listning pleasure. They also range all over the map. Everything from rap to Ravel.
