Got Clap?


I've mentioned this a couple times to music loving friends and they all just laugh but I am a sucker for hand clapping in a song. It's as if the the rhythm and groove of a song is so powerful, so strong, so good the other dudes in the band have to keep time too; they are so invested in the beat their bodies take over. The organic sound of flesh on flesh and be booming or it can be a whispering golf type.


Odd and fine examples

"Make it Clap" Busta Rhymes
"Jack and Dian" John Cougar (yeah! that's right I called him by the stage name)
"Horizons" LTJ Bukem
"Close to Me" The Cure
"Well Alright!" The Hives
"Punk" Gorillaz (there's also foot stompin' in this one)

I know there are many others but off the top of my head that's all I got
