Somewhere along the line
(Excerpt) Read more at nytimes.com ...
The family was traumatized at the funeral home when they went to place his body in the casket.
They put his left foot in...
and that’s when the trouble started.
LOL ..as long as someone doesn’t start the chicken dance ...I’m okay with it. ;)
I always confused this piece with “Ballin’ the Jack.”
First you put your 2 knees close up tight...
........"hoc est enim corpus meum"
Oh NO! NOT the Chicken Dance!!!!!!
Or the Macarena!
PLEASE don’t make me play the macarena!
Or the Electric Slide!
(I’ve played a few weddings in my time)
It's really easy to do...
...just flap your wings and kick your feet!
Even the little guys are doing it!
All together now!
1. Hold your hands in a "bye-bye" position, and pretend they are your beaks. "Chirp" your fingers four times (4 counts).
2. With your arms in "wing position" (hands tucked in armpits), flap your wings 4 times (4 counts).
3. Now "wiggle your tail feathers" down to the floor 4 times (4 counts).
4. Clap your hands 4 times (4 counts).
5. Repeat all of the movements above three more times, to complete the chorus.
I never heard of the hokey pokey or the chicken dance until I lived in Iowa. Is that the hotbed for this type of thing?
For your wedding “Do-Not-Playlist”:
* Chicken Dance
* Macarena
* Conga
* YMCA
* Hokey Pokey
* Locomotion
* Cha Cha Slide
* Limbo Rock
Very nice, such culture!!
No marriage is legal unless they do the hokey pokey at the reception....which hand did the guy put in first, the right or the left...
LOL hear that one before and its still funny......
Never heard of that one before, but for the lazy, I have done the table polka...you do it while sitting at the table...its been so many years I forgot how to tho so don’t ask......
He didn't need to ask what it was all about.

Thanks Daffynition. I think hokey pokey *may* be a metaphor for somethin' else; kinda like Bobby Darin singing that song "Multiplication". ;') |
