Released in 1975, ‘Hokey Pokey’ is a much jollier release than its predecessor, ’I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight’. Richard always envisaged Hokey Pokey’ as “a music-hall influenced record”. He was a big fan of Harry Lauder and Gracie Fields, and this inspiration can be seen in the Victorian style cover by Shirt Sleeve Studio, and is audible on the title track, “”Hokey Pokey”” and also ‘Georgie On A Spree’. Richard and Linda’s 2nd album together is a mixture of darkly comic songs like “Smiffy’s Glass Eye” and the more world weary nature of ‘I’ll Regret It All In The Morning” and “A Heart Needs A Home”. There are also more sombre songs such as ‘The Egypt Room” which Richard described as “half way between The Coasters ‘Little Egypt’, George Formby, and Dickens by way of Patricia Highsmith”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrackiklist\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHokey Pokey (The Ice Cream Song)     3:22\u003cbr\u003eI'll Regret It All In The Morning     3:35\u003cbr\u003eSmiffy's Glass Eye     2:52\u003cbr\u003eThe Egypt Room     3:54\u003cbr\u003eNever Again     3:08\u003cbr\u003eGeorgie On A Spree     3:39\u003cbr\u003eOld Man Inside A Young Man     4:26\u003cbr\u003eThe Sun Never Shines On The Poor     3:40\u003cbr\u003eA Heart Needs A Home     3:48\u003cbr\u003eMole In A Hole     3:21\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Universal","offers":[{"title":"1975","offer_id":33014153674861,"sku":"","price":168.0,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0067\/2072\/products\/SharedImage-107148.jpg?v=1599906612","url":"https:\/\/recordpusher.live\/products\/richard-linda-thompson-hokey-pokey-1","provider":"RecordPusher - International Vinyl Record Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
