“Six thousand years of recorded history, a history that includes remarkable composers, astonishing symphonies, but what is the one song that half of them sing to their children generation after generation?
You put your right hand in; you put your right hand out.You put your whole self in and you turn yourself about.You do the hokey-pokey; you give a little shout.That’s…what it’s all about.
It doesn’t mean anything. I have been studying it for seven days. I had the computer analyze it. I swear to you: it does not mean A THING!”
— Londo, “A Voice in the Wilderness I” (Babylon 5)
