The death in a New York nursing home of musician and composer Larry LaPrise was announced today.
LaPrise is credited with writing the popular novelty song and dance, "The Hokey Cokey" (or "Hokey Pokey" as it is otherwise known).
The funeral was attended by family and friends as well as representatives of the music and music publishing industry. Sadly, the service was delayed somewhat when they tried to place him in the casket.
They got his left leg in and that's when the trouble started...
