1958 -
THE HOKEY POKEY POLKA
There’s a hokey pokey polka
With a honky tonky tune
And a ricky ticky rhythm
Like a mockin’ bird in June
With a humpty dumpty tempo
And a hurdy gurdy sound
It’s the hokey pokey polka
That they’re playin’ all around
At the age of 12 Rudy heard a "strange, funny kind of accordion music" on an offshore station, which was broadcasting from the North of the Netherlands. It seemed to be the music of Frankie Yankovic and the Yanks he heard there. From that day on Rudy was fascinated by this happy music!
