Thread: Cant even name this one!..lol -

With all the sadness and trauma going on in the world at the moment,

it is worth reflecting on the death of a
very important person which almost
went unnoticed last week.


Larry LaPrise,
the man who wrote "The Hokey Pokey",
died peacefully at the age of 93.

The most traumatic part for his family was getting him into the coffin.

They put his left leg in. ...


And then the trouble started.

Oh that is hilarious! Thanks for the laugh!

Are you at it again Kate?.....Good one.....LOL

Lol

Funny to see this post.. I used to work with Larry LaPrise's son, and he said they are STILL making a mint in royalties on that song after all these years, whenever it is used on TV, or movies.. Imagine that!

lol ... Did you marry him? lmao

Liz, my appologies for being insensitive....
It is a sad thing, but I think that he would apreciate the joke tho...
thats cool! you worked with him...way cool

Nope didn't marry him - not the marrying kind..

And, no worries about insensitivities.. He is the one who first told me that joke.

I was sort of amazed at meeting him. I mean, I never really thought of anyone actually writing a song like that. He said his dad was working in a band at a resort in the Catskills, and it was a thing they wrote up for the nightly shows for the vacationing families..
Who knew?
