Probably not so important, but in "The League of Gentlemen" one of the main characters (Pauline) uses this as a catch-phrase: "Hokey-Cokey Pig in a Pokey!". But I'm not sure, if this is worth mentioning. Anyhow, thought I'd add this (here in Talk). Cheers. -- 31.18.22.126 ( talk) 12:14, 29 May 2022 (UTC)

Your article about Hokey Pokey is about the song and dance. I have seen (I can't remember where)a dictionary with Hokey Pokey explained as 'a street ice cream vendor' simular to the 'Good Humor Man'. When I was little (in the mid 30s) the man who can in a horse drawn cart with ice cream for sale was called "Mr. Hokey Pokey".

+++ The Hokey Cokey +++
With all the sadness and 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 Hokey Cokey" 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. And then the trouble started…
The earliest references to the "dance craze" in Scottish newspapers in January 1942 refer to it as the "Cokey Cokey" (based on free searches for snippet results on the British Newspaper Archive). "Hokey Pokey" appears in British newspapers as early as October 2, 1942. "Hokey Cokey" as early as October 30, 1942. So, to the extent it matters, the "REAL" original name of the dance is "Cokey Cokey." But since people were and had been familiar with the expression "Hokey Pokey" for a long time, it naturally supplanted the new term, although the second "Cokey" was preserved in Britain where the craze started. When introduced in the United States by early 1943, it was referred to as the "Hokey Pokey."§ Svaihingen ( talk) 19:04, 7 March 2022 (UTC)
Why does this article contain more than 150 identical "See also" sections? Yesterday I removed all of them but one, because I thought this to be an accident of the author while using "strg-v" (see the 'v' after the last "See also" section). However, Mer-C removed my changes. Now I am quite curious what this is all about. -- 134.106.41.20 07:46, 6 September 2006 (UTC) dooya
Put U.S. and Brit origins under separate headings. Seems clearer imo, but feel free to disagree. Arising from that, could one say hokey pokey is just a commercial version of a traditional song - hokey cokey. That way it's maybe not a U.S./Brit thing but a commercialism/traditional thing(?)

"In the United States the term hokey pokey previously and separately was a generic term for street vendor's ice cream in the 19th and early 20th centuries."
This has been deleted with the tag 'not just in the U.S.'. That is indeed so, but the sentence was intended as a comment on the U.S. title of the song, ie the change from Hokey Cokey. Maybe editing to "In the United States (and elsewhere)...." would have covered the objection. Hakluyt bean 01:24, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

I've reverted the brief discussion by talk of the possibility of the song's origin in the United States Revolutionary War, which was recently added to the article. It's an interesting theory, but we need a source for the connection (not just references defining the legal terms) if it belongs in the main article.

It would appear that the use of "Hokey Cokey 2000" in Constructor was a reference to this radio ad (which I've added to the Advertising section), but since I have no source for it not just being a weird coincidence, I'm guessing that would count as original research.

The article does not make any clear mention of the origin of the modern version(s) of the song (the lyrics of earlier 19th century songs are only loosely similar), nor does it explain the origins of the expressions 'hokey cokey' or 'pokey'. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:C7D:4D63:8700:E192:D5B9:FFAF:2E2D ( talk) 19:11, 4 June 2020 (UTC)
Robert Chambers' Popular Rhymes of Scotland, first edition of 1826, does not include the similar rhyme described in the citation.
It does, however, appear in the third and fourth editions, published in 1858 and 1870, respectively. The third edition is available on archive.org and the 4th on archive.org and HathiTrust. I have not seen the second edition, so perhaps it is there.
The claim in the text of the "Origins" of the Hokey Pokey that it is attested as early as 1826 is not true. At least as early as 1858, and perhaps earlier if anyone can find the 2d edition.
Note: the 1940 reference, by Edward Deming Andrews, cites the 1842 edition of Chambers' book as having a version of the rhyme. I edited the article to cite the 1940 book for the proposition that it was attested as early as 1842 - not as early as 1826, which was wrong because it did not appear in the 1826 1st edition of Chambers' book.
Note: the 1857 reference following the paragraph about the Chambers book is part of the text from the 1940 reference. I did an edit to clarify that it was a quotation from the citation immediately above.§ Svaihingen ( talk) 22:22, 7 March 2022 (UTC)
