Union Lido humourA very rare photo of "Mr Bolero" himself proving once again that he can "Hokey Cokey Cokey" just as good as the next man. At Union Lido this dancing fanatical pastime is worshipped every year with more and more people adding to the chain after each verse until the entire site is holding hands and the thousands chanting "Put your left leg in" echoes around the site and out into the night air. In following years, the song would be recorded by leading Union Lido songwriter "Julio Englishli" and a charity single to help out struggling worms re-enter the ground entered the charts at the very bottom for 10 minutes. The song was re-written and iconic lines such as "put your right leg out" became "wiggle your cyclindrical self out" and consequently many people ran out of breath trying to say all the lines. In 2007 Union Lido had to ban all use of the "Hokey Cokey Cokey" dance as on one occasion during the summer, someone had connected the last persons hand to a car battery and 800 people all had to go to hospital to be de-static-isiced after suffering the biggest electrical static chain ever recorded in history. One poor man walked past the hospital shop and was instantly mobbed by a balloon stand. Another leant against a wall and had to be prised free and a young lady still cannot get her hair to fall down around her shoulders.
