With all the sadness and political 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 last week.

Larry LaPrise, the man that wrote ‘The Hokie 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 (of course) ... and then the trouble started.

What if 'The Hokey Pokey' really IS what it's all about?

I was once addicted to ‘The Hokie Pokey’ but I turned myself around.
