Hokey

One of the "feeds" I get from Quick News (which I have yet to decide to buy) is Snopes - the Urban Legends (debunking) site. It has a page where people can send in material - which is where I found this, posted around the time of the Queen Mother's death:
What 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 un-noticed last week.
Larry La Prise, the man who wrote "The Hokey Pokey," died peacefully aged 83. The most traumatic part for his family was getting him into the coffin.
They put his left leg in - and things just started to go downhill from there.
