More of a question but ‘he makes the sign of a teaspoon she makes the sign of a wave’ (Graceland)
and this
are they related?

Some quick research produced this:
Seems plausible that it could be a hand gesture for taxi drivers indicating the direction you want to go - teaspoon for city centre and wave for the coast (esp. if in a coastal city like Durban).

It’s not only used in coastal towns back home but in the apartheid era it also indicated if you were going into a white neighborhood to work or not.

Is that why it’s a teaspoon? I was wondering about that

Teaspoon is making fun of colonialism, waves has nothing to do with the ocean but rather was just the gesture to hail the taxi. It changed to a whistle and holding up as many fingers as there are people who need to get on.
Btw the teaspoon was pointing your finger down (teaspoon) and waves was just pointing a finger up and waving it from side to side.
