Like many innocuous songs and dances that you’d assume have fairly benign origins, the Hokey Pokey is believed by some to have fairly sinister beginnings. There are those who insist the song originated with Scottish Puritans in the UK as an anti-Catholic taunt. The words “hokey cokey,” which is how the song is sung in the UK, is supposedly derived from the magician’s incantation “hocus pocus.” Hocus Pocus popped up in the 17th century as a part of the conjuration phrase: “Hocus pocus, tontus talontus, vade celeriter jubeo.” It’s thought by some that this derived from the phrase spoken at Catholic Mass: hoc est enim corpus meum,” or “for this is my body.”
