Left Leg In...

Awwww HOKEY COKEY COKEY! Gor blimey, guv, everyone loves the Hokey Cokey. It's a staple of pissed-up parties, particularly if you have a number of loveable cockneys in your friendship circle.

But if you're thinking of using it in an advert for your product, better check which side of the Atlantic you're on. In the UK, the Hokey Cokey is regarded as a 'traditional song' and, as such, can be used rights-free. In the USA, it's under copyright and costs $32,000 dollars to use it for a three month ad campaign.

Shake it all about, indeed.
