Anyone refusing a hokey pokey probably doesn't want to rock the boat.

Ooh, I do miss an Oops Upside Your Head.

I can't get down or back up again quite as quickly as I used to be able to, though...Sad

All these are bringing back childhood terror, the hokey cokey, conga, slosh. It's these reasons I've never danced in my life and at 52 no amount of therapy or money will make me change my mind.

@ImEatingVeryHealthilyOhYes

Something comes over me in these group fun situations and I automatically join in before I realise what I’m doing.

Please no one invite me to an orgy!

In response to “what is the best bit”? Surely it’s where everyone joins hands in a circle and then goes moshing into the middle usually causing at least three major fracture injuries? Grin

It's not in the same league as the other 80s naff hits at all.
It's centuries old and takes the piss out of the Catholic ritual of the Mass.
