Clara Posted July 28, 2009 Report Posted July 28, 2009 Any suggestions for songs with hand clapping in them? No particular reason. I just think they sound cool. I've got Radio Ga Ga by Queen and Cinnamon Girl by Neil Young ...
Lucky Posted July 29, 2009 Report Posted July 29, 2009 I thought of "Clap for the Wolfman", then I thought I remembered a very old thread .... and here it is ! Lots of clapping songs ... and I'll bet there are more.
pinkstones Posted July 29, 2009 Report Posted July 29, 2009 Lay A Little Lovin' On Me - Robin McNamara
phil Posted July 29, 2009 Report Posted July 29, 2009 Stuck In The Middle With You - Steelers Wheel What I Like About You - Romantics Freeze Frame - J. Geils Band Iko Iko - The Dixie Cups Let's Go - The Cars Take The Money And Run - Steve Miller Hope That helps.
OLD 55 Posted July 29, 2009 Report Posted July 29, 2009 There's some good ones mentioned already. Some songs I'm never sure if it's actual clapping or drum machines/synthesisers - e.g. The Clash's Rock The Casbah ? J C Mellencamp's Jack And Diane ? We Will Rock You - Queen? Mickey - Tony Basil? You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth (Hot Summer Night) - Meat Loaf. For sure, but right at the end. + some older ones I remember from the 60s. Maybe too old ? Clap Your Hands - Beau-Marks (Canadian Group) 1960 The Clapping Song - Shirley Ellis 1965 Thank The Lord For The Night Time - Neil Diamond 1967
Levis Posted July 29, 2009 Report Posted July 29, 2009 Yacht's new album is loaded with hand claps typical of electropoppydanceness
Tenacious_Peaches Posted July 29, 2009 Report Posted July 29, 2009 I hear this song every time I go dancing... The Cha Cha Slide Also, Don't Stop the Music - Rihanna Never Leave You - Lumidee
_Laurie_ Posted July 29, 2009 Report Posted July 29, 2009 Jack And Diane ... first one I thought of right away...
edna Posted July 29, 2009 Report Posted July 29, 2009 I Wanna Hold Your Hand- The Beatles Thank you, Wade... I was looking for that Beatles song and just couldn' t remember which song it was...
beanochris Posted July 30, 2009 Report Posted July 30, 2009 The Cure - Close to Me Garbage - Cherry Lips Elastica - Connection
JumboXL Posted July 30, 2009 Report Posted July 30, 2009 A real good handclapping song seems to me: Santa Esmeralda's Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood. The first part of this clip gives a hint why. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8NVQ0iao0g Where the clips stops, the album version continues with minutes of Andalusian handclapping. Olé!
Ombre Vivante Posted July 31, 2009 Report Posted July 31, 2009 "Sinnerman" as performed by Nina Simone and her entourage Check at the 04:06 mark in the song. It goes into a clapping solo for about a minute or two!
Farin Posted July 31, 2009 Report Posted July 31, 2009 5 Years Time ~ Noah and the Whale Gobbledigook ~ Sigur Rós Disconnect the Dots ~ of Montreal Dancing Choose ~ TV on the Radio One Heavy February ~ Architecture in Helsinki (instrumental) 7 ~ Moby (instrumental) The Boy with the Arab Strap ~ Belle & Sebastian Lightspeed ~ Matt & Kim Bonus: Clap Hands ~ Beck
MuzikTyme Posted August 1, 2009 Report Posted August 1, 2009 I reckon my favourite "clap" song is this even though they aren't clapping, it sounds much like it. Just listen to the song (minimize window) and watch Ujoe's wonderful clarification below... it works! If we've learned anything from "The Darkside of Oz" and, we haven't, it would be this even better sync. This is as good as it gets, IMHO.
Farin Posted August 2, 2009 Report Posted August 2, 2009 mostly with snipping fingers, but also with handclaps: El Fusilado ~ Chumbawamba fun fact: that song tells a true story
electric926 Posted August 3, 2009 Report Posted August 3, 2009 How about Take Me Home by Phil Collins? Both the original song and the 12 inch remix have hand claps.
