Title: Members of Carver School playing a game called "zoodio zoodio" at the Florida Folk Festival: White Springs, Florida

Date: May 1959

General note: Zoodio is an African-American game with singing. The game, according to research, was often taught at Bible Schools. The game is played with at least eight people in an open space: Choose a partner; stand facing your partner; cross your arms in front of your waist and take your partners right hand in your left hand (and vice versa). Slightly bend your knees like you are riding a bicycle and move your partner's arms back and forth to the beat in a scissors motion while sing/chanting the rhyme. On the words "Step back, Sally," each partner jumps back four times to the beat (or, if the group agrees before hand, back and forth to the beat). On the words, "Walking down the alley," the individual partners strut to the beat, each finding a new partner. The song then begins again. The words to the song that accompanies the game are: Here we go Zoodio, Zoodio, Zoodio Here we go Zoodio, All night long; Step back, Sally, Sally, Sally, Step back, Sally All night long; Walkin through the alley, alley, alley, Walkin through the alley, All night long (repeat as many times as desired).

Public domain
Public domain
This work was created by a government unit (including state, county, and municipal government agencies) of the U.S. state of Florida. It is a public record that was not created by an agency which state law has allowed to claim copyright and is therefore in the public domain in the United States.
Definition of "public record"

Public records are works "made or received in connection with the official business of any public body, officer, or employee of the state, or persons acting on their behalf, [which includes the work of] the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of government and each agency or department created thereunder; counties, municipalities, and districts; and each constitutional officer, board, and commission, or entity created pursuant to [Florida] law or [its] Constitution" (Florida Constitution, §24) such as a work made or received pursuant to law or ordinance or in connection with the transaction of official business by any state, county, district, or other unit of government created or established by law of the State of Florida (definition of public work found in Chapter 119.011(12), Florida Statutes).

Agencies permitted to claim copyright

Florida's Constitution and its statutes do not permit any agency to claim copyright for "public records" unless authorized to do so by law. The following agencies are permitted to claim copyright (as well as trademarks) and any works of these agencies should be assumed to be copyrighted without clear evidence to the contrary:

Works by defunct state agencies may be copyrighted if these rights were transferred to a new or different agency (note that legislation transferring such right may not have been codified into Florida Statutes). For example, copyright in works by the Florida Space Authority may have been transferred to Space Florida. State and municipal government agencies may claim copyright for software created by the agency (§ 119.084, F.S. 2018).

In case law, Microdecisions, Inc. v. Skinner—889 So. 2d 871 (Fla. 2d DCA 2004) (Findlaw)—held that the Collier County Property Appraiser could not require commercial users to enter into a licensing agreement, holding that "[the agency] has no authority to assert copyright protection in the GIS maps, which are public records."

Note: Works that are considered "public records" but were not created by a state or municipal government agency may be copyrighted by their author; the Supremacy Clause of the United States Constitution prevents state law from overriding the author's right to copyright protection that is granted by federal law. For example, a state agency may post images online of the final appearance of a building under construction; while the images may be "public records", their creator (eg. architecture/construction firm) retains copyright rights to the image unless the contract with the agency says otherwise. See: Government-in-the-Sunshine Manual: To what extent does federal law preempt state law regarding public inspection of records?.
