Larry LaPrise, the man who wrote "The Hokey Pokey" died peacefully at
the age of 84. The most traumatic part for his family was getting him
into the coffin. They put his left leg in. And then the trouble
started.

The phrase "trip the light fantastic" is an idiomatic expression that means to dance or move in a lively and graceful manner, often to music.
The phrase "trip the light fantastic" originated from a line in John Milton's poem "L'Allegro" written in 1645, which reads "Come, and trip it as you go, on the light fantastic toe".
The phrase "trip the light fantastic" has no direct scientific explanation, but it is commonly associated with the concept of light and energy. It may also refer to the feeling of euphoria and weightlessness one experiences while dancing.
No, the phrase "trip the light fantastic" does not have a literal meaning. It is a metaphor for dancing and does not involve actual tripping or interacting with light.
The phrase "trip the light fantastic" is often used to describe a carefree and joyful attitude towards life, beyond just dancing. It can also be interpreted as a celebration of freedom and living in the moment.
