Today I'm paying homage to that invaluable instrument so often taken for granted, the hand clap. Each of the tracks below are some of my favorite songs that feature hand claps a' plenty, and under that I'll go ahead and list some of the other songs that came to mind when I was putting this together. Feel free to add in any that you think of...
I'm a big fan of any type of hand percussion in general really, claps, snappin' yo fingers, both of them work great in a song. Plus, they're always handy. (boo-hiss)

I was hoping that
Busta rhymes- "Make it clap"
would at least get honorable mention
hehe otherwise good theme
There's one.
I guess I could've tossed in "Nolia Clap" as well, but I had to cut the list off at some point otherwise it would really get out of hand. =]
How about Rose Royce, "Car Wash," or the Temptations "Papa Was a Rolling Stone"?
fun!
kissing the lipless- the shins
the clapping song- shirley ellis (oldie.)
Oh come on! No Clap! Clap!? Doug Hanshaw has perfected the art. :)
The dude is a clapping machine sent from the future, I'm sure of that.
I'm beginning to think I should do another one of these entries toward the end of the month or something, I've definitely got plenty of ammo.
these've crossed my desk recently
Cobrastyle - Tebbybears
We Were Lovers - Bloc Party
Golden Years - David Bowie
what about the handclapping song by the meters? seems pretty relevant
