ultimate hand clap compilation

Whoa, whoa, whoa whoa whoa WHOA.

David Byrne is not a eunuch?

"Turn It On" by Sleater-Kinney

I'll post more when I think of 'em.

S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y NIGHT!

Bingo.

somebody beat me to "turn it on"!
also,
cake - "opera singer".

i'm having trouble thinking of actual good songs with hand clapping. things like the fraggle rock theme song keep coming to mind.

fearless - pink floyd

Not yet anyway... *eyes a rusty pair of scissors*

Nite Klub - The Specials (Dance Craze soundtrack version.)

oi!

Hurt So Good - John Cougar (Mellencamp)
Too Much Time On My Hands - Styx

fraggle rock

Someone beat me to "Opera Singer," damnit.

"Why Does It Hurt When I Pee" by the Clap.

This one goes out to my soldiers that be flippin them birds
To all my shorties wigglin they shakin they curves...

i think "jive talkin'" by the bee gees uses handclaps.

From the hip-hop world:
Outkast's Rosa Parks
Missy Elliot's Pass that Dutch (AWWWWWWW yeah!)
Bubba Sparxxx's Deliverance and Jimmy Mathis and I'm sure there's more
The Ying Yang Twins' Wait has finger snaps
J-Kwon's Tipsy

Great songs on and all

And dont' forget "Burn The Witch". He was on that song too.



How come no one has said "TV Party" by Black Flag yet?

"My Best Friend's Girl," The Cars.

both of these fall under the motown category in which every song either has hand claps or a prominent tamborine track or both ( I know that the beatles aren't motown but the marvalettes are and there are hand claps in their version to)

so...............now I got

The Blow - little sally tutorial

also

pretty girls make graves - something bigger something brighter

DAMN YOU YOU STOLE MINE I WILL EAT YOUR SOUL

um..I mean..."nice one!"

Also:

Rebellion (Lies) by the Arcade Fire....I spend the entire song giddily awaiting the handclap part, and;

Anything by Puffy Ami Yumi.

WINNAH!

For my part, I'd say...


Damn it. I swear the Ramones had some clapping going on somewhere...

Oh! Architecture in Helsinki - It'5! Fuck yeah!

I found a few more

Brigitte Bardot - L'appareil A Sous
and
Holy Ghost Revival - Flowers of Evil (they're not that well know of a band but this song is fucking rediculously good as is the rest of their stuff)
and Tegan & Sara - Not Tonight

i thought of a lot more..

boys night out - "composing"
the postal service - "clark gable"
the gossip - "fire/sign"
snow patrol - "tiny little fractures"
the new pornographers - "your daddy don't know"
le tigre - "deceptacon"
the dandy warhols - "we used to be friends"
tilly & the wall - "fell down the stairs"..."you and i misbehaving"...and i'm sure many others.
are those handclaps in a.c. newman's "drink to me, babe, then"?
of course there's always outkast - "hey ya!" as well..
