Hokey cokey的意思

"Hokey cokey" 或 "hokey pokey" 是一首非常流行的兒童歌曲和舞蹈，起源於20世紀40年代。這首歌和舞蹈通常在派對、學校和家庭聚會上表演，它鼓勵參與者跟隨歌詞做出一系列的動作，比如把腿伸進伸出一個巨大的圓圈，然後把手臂伸進伸出，等等。

這首歌的歌詞通常是這樣的：

You put your left leg in, Your left leg out, In, out, in, out, Shake it all about. You do the hokey cokey and you turn around, That's what it's all about.

Then you put your right leg in, Your right leg out, In, out, in, out, Shake it all about. You do the hokey cokey and you turn around, That's what it's all about.

You put your arms in, Your arms out, In, out, in, out, Shake them all about. You do the hokey cokey and you turn around, That's what it's all about.

The song is often attributed to British origins, and it became particularly popular in the United Kingdom and Ireland. The term "hokey cokey" is not used in all English-speaking countries; in some places, it's known as "hokey pokey," which is the title used in the original American version of the song. The meaning of the phrase is not deeply symbolic; it's simply a nonsense phrase that has become associated with the fun and playful nature of the song and dance.
