Subject: RE: Origins: Looby Loo ===> Hokey Pokey
Definitely The Hokey Cokey, a firm favourite towards the end of village dances in the 50s and 60s, when several generations would all be on the floor together.

The best bit was all joining hands and dashinbg into the middle going "Oooooooooooooh Hokey Cokey Cokey, Oooooooooooooh Hokey Cokey Cokey, Oooooooooooooh Hokey Cokey Cokey, Kness bend, arms strecth, Rah, Rah Rah."

Andy Pandy and Teddy (Watch with Mother, Tuesday, IIRC) had a rag doll companion called Looby Loo, so her song was sung every week. But on Tuesday afternoon, not Sayurday night
