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.
