Joe,
I'm sure you've seen this one:
"The composer of the song "The Hokey Pokey", Larry LaPrise, died a few
years back in Boise, Idaho, at the age of 83. His song writing career
pretty much ended with the composition of "The Hokey Pokey" in the early
1940s, but he made a modest fortune out of it and spent the rest of his
life as a postal service employee. The song was eventually picked up by
bandleader Ray Anthony who recorded it in 1953 on the B-side of another
novelty dance song "The Bunny Hop." In no time, the Hokey Pokey was
everywhere.
The story is told that Larry LaPrise's funeral lasted a very long
time. You see, "The Hokey Pokey" was playing in the background, and it
was especially difficult for the undertaker to get his body in the
casket. They'd put his left leg in and . . . well you know the rest!"
