Clapping
What is it about clapping? Both a way of showing appreciation, and a way to join in with the music we appreciate. Our hands are like our own personal drum kits that we take with us everywhere we go. Is it any surprise that the simple act of clapping has been the focus of many a great song?
Clap Your Hands – A Tribe Called Quest
Clap for the Wolfman – The Guess Who
Is this Love – Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
* Ok, this one is a bit of a cheat, but how could I leave out Clap Your Hands Say Yeah in a post about clapping?

and next time you can include them in a post about saying “yeah”.
What is it about saying “yeah”? Both a way of showing appreciation, and a way of agreeing with something.
Then you can include “Oh Yeah” by Ash, a song by Does it Offend You, Yeah? and the Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs, maybe The Beatles’ “She Loves You”, The Flaming Lips’ “Yeah Yeah Yeah Song”.
No need to thank me.
