Larry LaPrise, writer of the Hokey Pokey, died recently.

His funeral was a solemn, tearful affair attended by Larry's friends, family, and fans of his seminal song. After a few hymns and a lot of mourning, it came time for the deceased to be put in the casket. They put his right foot in... and that's when the fun started.
