yes,very recently,the origins have been stated as this:hokey cokey equals hocus pocus[meaning mumbo jumbo,muttered nonsense].
it is the protestants having a go at the catholic religion,and the use of the priests invocations as hocus pocus,the arm movements are an imitation of the catholic priests movements.
these football fans are so ignorant,they dont know that the very high anglican church[still protestant]have afather that uses amuch the same invocations and movements.
the majority of people,do the hokey cokey quite innocently,as away of having fun with no malicious intent.
