You rat! That tune is going to be spinning around in my head ALL DAY. I think they call that an “ear worm”. LOL
I see by the dates that that song was contemporary to the years I was in Jr. High (1950) when they made us dance that in PE. I’m amazed that we were so up to date in our curriculum! I had no idea where it came from.
I didn't hear the Hokey Pokey until, I guess, some time in the early 80's.
