    The title and the lyrics "Niki Hoeky" were inspired by a 1955 Dick Tracy newspaper story. A plot in which the famous DT villain Mumbles was teamed up with two wild boys whose names were Neki and Hokey. The two boys frequently shouted their names "Neki Hokey!" throughout the story arc. Even after that particular plot was over, some of the DT characters continued to say "Neki Hokey" from time to time, as a variant of "Okey-dokey" (i.e. "all right").

    Fast forward to 1966. P.J. Proby undoubtedly remembered reading the DT story in the newspaper when he was younger, but couldn't recall the proper spelling of "Neki Hokey." Thus, it came out "Niki Hoeky" and the nonsense words inspired by a Dick Tracy comic strip story became the basis for this mostly nonsensical song.

    According to Chester Gould (the original creator of Dick Tracy), the expression '"Neki Hokey" comes from a south seas tribe and means almost anything - from joy to anger, from hello to farewell.' Whether this is based on actual fact or was just something Gould made up to further the story is not known.

    Well, ya know? I believe Proby was a pom, but somehow in this song he captured wonderfully the passion, freedom, fair wheeling Cajun soul. The beat, the passion - who cares what he was saying, but I have loved this song for 60 years. How do free wheeling lyrics so wonderfully catch a soul? I see the green snakes hangin from the evergreen willows covered in moss! Go get it! Roll on, Proby! Won it!
