Hocus Pocus may be a novelty song (as is Yellow Submarine and quite a few by the Who) but you can't stop at that.  The playing on Hocus is wonderful and it should have made you enquire more!  When Focus played that song on BBC back in '71, the entire Polydor pressing plants were turned over to producing Moving Waves.  The live performance was astonishing, funny and impressive.
