Larry LaPrise had nothing to do with Deloreans, thats probably why he was successful in what he accomplished!!!
With all the sadness and trauma going on in the world at the moment, it is worth reflecting on the death of a very important person, which almost went unnoticed last week. Larry LaPrise who wrote the 'Hokey Kokey' died peacefully at home at the grand old age of 93.
The most traumatic part for his family was trying to get him into his coffin. They put the left leg in, and then the left leg out, in again, and then thats when all the trouble started apparently!!!

According to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_LaPrise) he died on januari 2, 1996

According to http://larry-laprise.co.tv/ he died on April 4, 1996

Although the date is unsure, most people seem to joke about his death. How he was able to appear on the picture, is a mystery to me.

Rob,

the gent in the pictures is Frank Carson, a Belfast comedian who specializes in "quality" gags like the original post. The guys met him at Eurofest. (He probably wasn't a hit in Netherlands)

Yes, that was a later photo I think. I was worried that I had left my hoodie in the taxi, then I realised we didn't even get a taxi that night!
