Denim, "Middle Of The Road"

I remember Jagger once saying that the handclaps and the "Shadoobie"s were as important to the song as the lyrics (some of Jagger's best).

I felt I could do something different, especially by adding claps, sounds and my own vocals. A real party mix.

(Mentioned upthread, I think, but now here it is on youtube.)

(and in other spots)

Clearly no gay guys visited this thread for they would school y'all that the greatest handclap of all-time is the "clap-clap" right after "God bless Mother Nature" fro The Weather Girls' "It's Raining Men."

Just listening to Le Loup's 'We are gods we are wolves'. Lovely handclapping!! Special mention, while I'm here, to Mushaboom by Feist. Aaaah.

oh yes, this is indeed rather wonderful

Shango "Frantic Situation"

Badfinger "No Matter What"

Rush-"In the Mood"

Has no one actually mentioned Car Wash by Rose Royce?

Clap clap clapclapclapclapclap

So many great suggestions upthread. Too many to mention, but of the ones I hadn't heard before, I really enjoyed the Kathem Alsaher. Of the ones I knew, the Jose Gonzalez one is lovely.

Oh God "It Tango" "It Tango" "It Tango"

Chic generally, "Good Times" particularly.

What I Like About You - the Romantics (okay, I think the clapping's only at the very beginning, but it's important)

also I'm really surprised people aren't mentioning more girl-group stuff. "My Boyfriend's Back" is the most obvious example.

oh whoops, someone DID mention that song. sorry!!

suede -- animal nitrate

they come in towards the end. and, not that there's anything especially good sounding about them, it's just the fact that they are there - that i love. there - in the most sexually tormented song ever, just giving the beat a hand. oh, i fucking love it.

Low - Breaker Perhaps one of the most disturbing songs to use hand claps. The 2 people clapping are slightly out of sync adding to the displaced feeling.

mary j -- just fine

Faust, Läuft...Heißt das es läuft oder es kommt bald...Läuft

I'm starting to think about baseball and my beloved Red Sox again, so I'll go with "Centerfield."

The answer as ever is

'Ever' by Flipper.

Once more they surpassed their extreme low quality with this TWO man -slightly out of time and tune - clap assault(probably Bruce Lose and Will Shatter)
