Maybe we're all jumping to conclusions here.
Let's look at the lyrics:
Quote:
You put your right foot* in
You put your right foot* out
You put your right foot* in
And you shake it all about.
You do the Hokey-Pokey
And you turn yourself around
That's what it's all about
<font size="1">*Right foot could be a number of different body parts</font>

Now...I don't know about you folks, but it seems to me that the 7th line in our song,
That's what it's all about, may, in fact, be referring to the 6th line in our song,
And you turn yourself around.
If that is the case...then I wouldn't be out of line is saying that we're analyzing the wrong thing. The Hokey Pokey isn't what it's all about. The Hokey Pokey simply tells us what it's all about. And what exactly does it tell us that it's all about?
...It's all about turning ourselves around.
Litereally or figuratively? That's for you to decide, friend.
