"What is the charge against the accused ?"

"He was clearly seen putting his right foot in...his right foot out...he did the hokey cokey and then he shook it all about"

"Guilty !"

Yes your honour but its the words he DIDNT sing which bring him before the court today.

Just like the ones who DIDNT sing the version of the Famine Song which no one knows.

Guilty as charged for not singing imaginary verses which no one has heard but which, if heard may

offend some child abusing terrorist.

People.......we are being handed their reputation on a platter here, lets use it to maximum advantage.

This cannot be stressed enough!

This is the opportunity we have all been waiting for, lets show the world what they are really like (tu)

I have never wanted to be at Ibrox for a game more than I want to be there on Saturday :(

theyre surely having a laugh, or are they??

what next for them to try and get banned?

think ibrox would be bouncing to a wee chorus of the hokey cokey :bouncy:

Can't believe how many are ignorant to the origins of the song.

Are you suggesting that they have a valid complaint?

Google is my friend on this one.

Hmm…… well ….back in 17th century Puritan England anything ‘popish’

or Roman Catholic was viewed with great suspicion and open to, at best,

ridicule. The Hokey-Cokey, with its song and actions, is a mimicry of the

Roman Catholic Mass. In those days the priest faced the altar (not the

people) and performed several actions as he consecrated the bread and wine

at Holy Communion. The words of the service were in Latin. You put your

left arm in ……etc was ridiculing the priest as he lifted his arms

heavenward during the rite. You do the Hokey- Cokey and you turn

around………… was when the priest turned to face the congregation with

the host (consecrated bread) to offer it to them.

Ooooh, the Hokey-Cokey……… hokey-cokey is a corruption of the Latin

words of consecration - Hoc est corpus: ‘This is my body’ (Note: many of

the strange words and phrases of our language are corruptions of other

languages introduced to our country over the years and few were educated

enough to speak or understand Latin). Knees bend, arm stretch,

ra-ra-ra……. knees bend is a ridicule of the genuflection (a kind of

religious curtsey to the altar) of the priest, arm stretch is when he holds

up his hands at the point of consecration in the service, and ra-ra-ra is

just a mimicry of the Latin words and prayers they didn’t understand.

I still think it would be laughable if someone got jailed for a singing a song they teach at almost every primary school in the UK.

I've got a bastard of a hangover but reading that suddenly lifted my spirits. :lol:

In exactly 24mins I'll go to the local shops for another cargo, then hopefully watch a timplotion of Def Con 4 proportions. If Falkirk score the provos will turn on Strap-on with all their bigoted might.

No. I'm just saying I'm amazed that many seem unaware of the origins of the ditty.

A couple of seasons ago killie played the tune while playing Celtic. I was quite surprised but now I'm thinking they were also unware it was a piss take of the (old) mass ritual.
