Day 386 of 365 More.
I do not put my left arm in.
I do not put my left arm out.
I do not put my left arm in.
And I do not shake it all about.
I do not do the hokey pokey.
I do not turn myself around.
And that is certainly not what its all about.
And I never, ever, ever under any circumstances do the chicken dance.
That is all.
Classic. I’m impressed by your moral code.
i would never do the chicken dance.
but the hokey pokey , it’s like being a little kid again.
Get enough beer in me and I’ll do any dance. What about the hokey chicken pokey dance?
You are a strong man. Me on the other hand. I would have been all up in there.
I’ve never even seen the chicken dance.
Aurghhhhhhhh! Not the dreaded Hokey Pokey!!!!! Hey, we have a new wedding dance to go with the Electric Slide, it’s the Cupid Shuffle. There’s a bunch of videos on YouTube and it’s an easy line dance. This is now our official 2nd wedding reception "everybody get on the floor" dance!
That certainly is NOT what it’s all about. Way to stand up for what you believe in! Myself I’d probably go hang out and get a drink just in case someone forced me onto the dance floor.
@Lifeandtimesofchantel: thank you. If I am nothing else, I am a man of principle.
@ms.Tea: heh. I’m less opposed to the hokey pokey than the chicken dance actually, but I don’t do either.
@Mikey aka DaSkinnyBlackMan: well, if it had been the electric slide I’d have been out there, but not for that nonsense. 🙂
@MegaBee: yeah, I keep telling Steph that our people don’t do the chicken dance. She thinks I’m making it up.
@lrayholly: ooh… I’ll have to check it out… It’d be great if I had a third wedding dance to go with the Slide and Strokin’!
@Miss Emily goes bananas: oh, I’ll dance. Just not to those.
But what if the hokey pokey is really what it’s all about???
@*Dare*: I disbelieve.
@Kungfukitten: even with enough beer. The chicken dance is forboden!
One of my best friends is getting married next week and she has "outlawed" the Hokey Pokey and the Chicken Dance. I think that’s just fine.
@Travelinjim: I want to do that at our wedding, but Steph is into those things. It’s kind of an impasse.
We do the chicken dance at home, in privacy to annoy our kidlet. It’s the least offensive, funniest way to do so. With nothing but love of course. Otherwise you wouldn’t catch me doing that anywhere ever. I remember in Jr. High our drama teacher would have us do the hokey pokey to "lighten up the mood" before a show. Um, yeah no. I was nervous enough without having to make myself look like more of a dork than I already was….
@adayinthelife: hmmm…. no, I’m sure I could find many more ways to be annoying without degrading myself to the chicken dance… 🙂
