Clara Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share 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 ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OLD 55 Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JumboXL Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share 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 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MuzikTyme Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
