The Hokey Cokey, as it is still known in the United Kingdom, some parts of Australia, and the Caribbean,[1] (now known as Hokey Pokey in the U.S, Canada and Ireland), is a campfire song and participation dance with a distinctive accompanying tune and lyric structure. It is well-known in English-speaking countries. It originates in a British folk dance, with variants attested as early as 1826. The song and accompanying dance peaked in popularity as a music hall song and novelty dance in the mid-1940s in the UK. The song became a chart hit twice in the 1980s. The first UK hit was by the Snowmen, which peaked at UK No. 18 in 1981.
