I'm pretty old and from what I remember, the song was "The Hokey Pokey". I read the article and my opinion is 'hogwash'. The dance, and song, does not, in my opinion, mimic any religion.

I admire the panache of anyone who is willing to maintain that "You put your left leg in, you put your left leg out, in, out, in, out, shake it all about" is a Puritan lyric from the 17th century.

Though of course, it is well known that The Lambeth Walk is a scandalous satire on the General Synod of the Church of England.
