Handclaps Are Like A Kiss That Makes You Dizzy
Saturday, May 10, 2008 9 comments
Sorry it's been awhile kids but summer is fast approaching (or here already?) and there is always much to be done. Been making some great mixes again and of course felt compelled to share like everyone on the internet does. This one is devoted to the almighty hand-clap, the movement and sound that signifies everything that you love to move to. These songs all have some sort of hand accompianment regardless of how long or short they may be. There is always great love for the hand-clap as it's the "instrument" most everyone can play (sorry whitey) as it lifts both the spirit and your hips. I realize I'm probably missing some classics here so feel free to fill me in! Enjoy!

beautiful.
thank-you.
Nice list ... The J. Geils Band hits "Centerfold" and "Freezeframe" both have hanclaps.
I have always seriously enjoyed the handclap....two favies not included are Blonde Redhead's "In Particular" and Tokyo Police Club's "Citizens of Tomorrow"
thanks for the tips dudes!
i like the list, but you're missing my favorite song with handclaps: The First Single by the Format, and i am also dissappointed to see no songs by Anathallo
other hand clapping song that is hauntingly amazing... snowdrops by the pineapple thief. http://www.pineapplethief.com/audio/littleman/snowdrops.mp3
no words. just hand claps and lullabye like melodies.
i am a sucker for handclaps. 2 of my favorite handclap songs: holiday in waikiki- kinks and cold blooded old times- smog.
check em out.
Let's not forget Bron-Y-Aur Stomp by Led
Zep and its sonic doppleganger, Airline to Heaven by Wilco.
