		Larry LaPrise is the man credited with writing perhaps America’s best-known novelty dance song ever, “The Hokey Pokey,”; although the extent to which he actually invented the dance remains in dispute.
		In 1956, LaPrise was sued by a songwriter named Bob Degen, who owned the copyright of a similar song from 1944 called “The Hokey Pokey Dance”; the suit was settled out of court and the royalties split.
		LaPrise, meanwhile, continued playing locally with the Ram Trio until the ‘60s; the father of six children, he gave up music to work for the post office in Ketchum, ID, never penning another hit.

		Larry LaPrise, the man who wrote "The Hokey Pokey" died peacefully at the age of 93.
		Larry LaPrise (who really did write the song back in 1940) died in 1996, aged 83.
		He might have written the tune, but the words - as I understand it - go back to the 17th century as a skit on the Catholic Mass.[1] It`s cokey not pokey btw, unless your American that is. [1] of course that could be just another internet urban myth.

		I don’t normally begin with sad news, but I think sometimes it’s good for us to pause and remember how precious life is. Larry LaPrise, died recently at age 83 in Boise, Idaho, after a career that brought him no fame, modest fortune, and a job with the Postal Service.
		You probably don’t recognize the name but Larry touched all of our lives in a small way—He wrote the song, “the Hokey Pokey.” And so in some small way, I suppose we all grieve his passing.

	'The Hokey Pokey' really is what it's all about, ya know
		In fact, Larry LaPrise even informs the careful listener that his song is the very Rosetta stone for living.
		It might also be said that the hokey pokey offers us lessons about living life to the fullest, about not going gentle into that good night but, instead, going kicking and screaming to our graves when the time comes.
		As my e-mail friend wrote, the most traumatic part of Larry LaPrise's death for his family was getting him into the coffin.

		After The Associated Press ran a story about the April 4 death of LaPrise and his role in the creation of the Hokey Pokey, several World War II veterans called the news agency.
		They had danced the Hokey Pokey in England in the closing days of the war, they said, well before LaPrise claimed to have invented it.
		The song was very popular in England at that time," said William G. O'Brien of Tigard, Ore., in a typical recollection.

	The Austin Chronicle Music: No Dominion: R.I.P. 2003
		A popular bit of e-mail humor passed around earlier this year reported the death of Larry LaPrise, composer of the "Hokey Pokey." The obituary reported that the services were inexplicably delayed, because the funeral director had some trouble with the body.
		Forty years after those tweens, teens, and twentysomethings took up instruments, held microphones, or fell in love with bands over a silly piece of music so hard it hurt, they're also beginning to die in numbers that will in a few years make 2003's roll call look like Great White's guest list.
		Larry LaPrise actually died in 1996, yet the recirculation of that e-mail is a tribute not just to the enduring whimsy of "The Hokey Pokey," but to the willingness of the human spirit to counter sadness with levity.

		A couple of weeks ago I received an email from a reader letting me know that composer Larry LaPrise had recently died at the age of 93.
		Had no idea who LaPrise was but figured there had to be a Stratocaster somewhere in the story.
		Maybe LaPrise had a stash of near mint '54 Strats that will be coming up for sale in an estate auction.

		Okay, I admit it, that's just about the stupidest thing ever, and probably you've already all seen it, but I never had and it made me laugh hysterically.
		Of course, Larry LaPrise was only one of three men who held the copyright to "The Hokey Pokey" (the other two being Charles Macak and Tafit Baker), and the three of them almost certainly stole the song from somewhere else.
