Yeasayer's "Tightrope" on the "Dark Was The Night" compilation adds some terrific handclaps as the song progresses.
Also, Matt and Kim's terrific songs "Spare Change" and "Cutdown" give good clap.
The best I can think of that I haven't seen mentioned here is Nina Simone's "Sinnerman", which has an absolutely the best handclapping section about six minutes into it.

Flat Duo Jet's "Go Go Harlem Baby" and the mid section of "Better Get It In Your Soul" by Charles Mingus. Two mighty fine examples of hand-clappery.

You gotta wait for them, but they're great when they show up.

Tried to start a new thread about this song. Maybe it's just as well that I can't, but I finally found the best song, the Samira Toufic song I've been trying to ID for a couple decades now. I think of it as Samira Toufic doing the Bealtes and XTC. Handclaps at the beginning! Guitar at 1:48!

Samira Toufic is so underrated, seriously.

Denim - The Osmonds, great handclaps near the end. Glam pastiche with exemplary genre signifiers.

"Remember (Walking in the Sand)" - The Shangri-Las (minimal but perfect)
