00:00This is a weird thing to be obsessed with, but there's a 93-year-old woman in Kansas
00:13named Phyllis Sprinkerhoff.
00:16Okay.
00:16Phyllis loves herself some hokey pokey.
00:21Oh, let's play.
00:22So for her birthday, her neighbor surprised her with a flash mob in her front yard.
00:31What the hell is this?
00:33I almost grabbed my gun.
00:34I got to kill people today.
00:37Here's what happened.
00:38Here's the story now from CBS News.
00:42Let's take a listen in to their report, if we can.
00:45Her dancing days are done.
00:47Phyllis Sprinkerhoff of Prairie Village, Kansas, says she's not too old to appreciate a sick beat.
00:53In fact, Mrs. B, as she's known in the neighborhood, is obsessed with one dance song in particular.
01:00It's just a fun, joyous song.
01:03You put your right arm in.
01:05The hokey pokey.
01:07You know how when you love a song, you want your friends to love it too?
01:11Well, that's why Mrs. B gave her name.
01:12Go find some kindergarten shit.
01:14Melody remembers a hokey pokey CD and started talking about the song constantly.
01:21I can see her name pop up on my phone, and I just thought, oh, it's the hokey pokey.
01:27Hi, this is Phyllis.
01:28Mrs. B left dozens of messages.
01:31I really do need to talk to you.
01:33Urgently pleading her case.
01:36CD I gave you, are you hooked on it yet?
01:38And I just would always say, not quite yet.
01:41Melanie's reluctance baffled Mrs. B.
01:45Can you imagine, Lisa?
01:45How do you not love this song?
01:47You have a neighbor, an old broad neighbor, who gives you a hokey pokey CD and follows
01:52up with daily calls to get you to see if you're hooked as like she is?
01:57Lisa, I'm going to send you the hottest song there is.
02:01I want you to listen to it.
02:02I know you were on the radio.
02:04Yeah, trying to get me to play it on the radio.
02:06Kyle, you just see what you can do with this one.
02:11I think your listeners, it's right up their alley.
02:14They're young, young whippersnappers.
02:16They're going to love this song.
02:18I love how aggressive she was.
02:20It's like a record label person.
02:21Yeah, I would hire her right now.
02:24Have you heard the new creed?
02:25Did you hear that toe tapper yet?
02:27Did you spend some time with it?
02:28Yeah.
02:29It's called a hokey pokey.
02:30I think it's going to take the nation by storm.
02:33That's right.
02:33Listen to it.
02:38How can you hate that?
02:40Oh, my God.
02:40Listen.
02:41The verses are amazing, but when it gets to that chorus, listen to this.
02:48Those harmonies.
02:50That's what it's all about.
02:54Wait till I get to the part where you got to shake that foot.
02:58Watch this.
03:00You see?
03:01You see?
03:01I really need you to give me a call back about the hokey pokey.
03:08I got to be honest with you.
03:10You're probably not going to have any more dates with Kiss unless you add the hokey pokey.
03:16That's enough.
03:17I don't want to say that, but I just did.
03:19That's Phyllis again.
03:20I don't know if you're ignoring me or if you hate me or if it's some kind of elderly neglect,
03:27but I really need you to listen to that CD I gave you.
03:32It's got a real sweet song called the hokey pokey.
03:37Give me a call back.
03:38It's Phyllis down the road.
03:39Hey, it's me, Phyllis.
03:46I was calling again to follow up with you about the hokey pokey CD I left you.
03:54Put it in a boom box for you.
03:56I want to know what your thoughts are on it.
03:58Maybe we can take a walk and think about it.
04:04Hey, Phyllis, once again, you've got to listen to that song.
04:10I don't even know if I have the right number at this point.
04:12No one is available to take your call.
04:14Huh?
04:16What is happening now?
04:21Please leave a message after the tone.
04:23This is Phyllis.
04:27Hello?
04:28No one is available to take your call.
04:31Please leave a message after the tone.
04:34Hi.
04:36This is me, Phyllis.
04:38Hey, the hokey pokey, have you heard about it?
04:44Fantastic song.
04:45I think you should spend some time with it.
04:47I'm just going to come over there.
04:48I'll see you in a bit.
04:53Phyllis.
04:54Oh, man.
04:55Phyllis.
04:55She won't give up.
04:56She kept calling that.
04:57She did.
04:58She got aggressive.
04:59It was totally record label style.
05:01I've just never heard of someone so fascinated by it and passionate about it that you hand
05:06out copies of the CD and then badger people on the telephone until they get into it.
05:12I think Phyllis might be on the last stretch there.
05:14She's going to do her final hokey pokey suit.
05:19I really agree.
05:20She put her left foot.
05:22She's going to put her left foot, right foot, left arm, right arm, right into the coffin.
05:26Exactly.
05:27Oh, no.
05:28Oh, no.
05:29I mean, I think.
05:30I got dark there.
05:31Please like it dark.
05:32Oh, no.
05:33I didn't mean to ruin it.
05:34I just was trying to figure out a way why she liked it so much.
05:37I'm like, maybe your mind's going.
05:39That's it.
05:40Yeah, that's what it kind of is.
05:42Oh, no.
05:43Oh, no.
