WEDNESDAY


Possibly the best clapping song ever...

'Thank God I'm a Country Boy' - John Denver

Handclaps a-plenty...and great harmonies...and a neat wee sax solo:

'Don't Say Nothin' Bad About My Baby' - The Cookies

Re: Photie

Barber:- "What'll it be today, sir?"

D. M. :- "Make me look like Action Man."

Broooooce:

Bruce Springsteen - Ain't good Enough For You

perfect for this theme.

"So you've got the clap?"

WEDNESDAY


'Take the Money and Run' -

>8-D

I think he's clapping himself...

BRING ME THE RED TIE OF ALFREDO GARCIA!

"And you're clapped out!"

"One little kiss isn't going to kill you, is it?"

A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You ~ T. Monkees
Never 'Ad Nothin' ~ Angelic Upstarts
Concrete Jungle ~ T. Specials
Let's Go (Pony) ~ T. Royuters

Sorry Routers!

Caption:

"Any ideas how to oust my brother?"

"So you're the other one? Well (he he he, I've always wanted to say this...)

BRING ME THE ED OF ALFREDO GARCIA"

The Lambrettas Poison Ivy
Going by the picture alone, it's more like poisoned chalice.

What about a "good book" strife night? Cain and Abel, Samson and Delilah, Martha and Mary, The Prodigal Son ........... doesn't have to take a christian slant - these just sprung to mind.

BRING ME THE PACT OF CAFREDO GRANITA

The Smiths ended their demo of 'What Difference Does it Make?' by actually giving themselves a round of applause at the end - very odd...

Unsquare Dance - Dave Brubeck - Beat me daddy, seven to the bar

suits you, sir

'No Matter Where You Are' ~~ Badfinger
'Dirty Harry' ~~ Gorillaz
'Telegram Sam' ~~ Bauhaus
'No Fun' ~~ The Stooges
'They're Coming to Take Me Away' ~~ Napoleon XIV

Fine eclectic fare ...

....fayre enough

There's a sound on this one that sounds a bit like clapping....

Boogie With Stu - Led Zep


....but for the real thing you can't beat.........


Golden Years - Bavid Bowie


Paul from Ayr

Caption...

So David, if we spray ourselves with Kryptonite the Tories can't touch us eh?
Magic, thats the election sorted....Now where's that silly brother of yours?



Anyway..


Beatles --- I Want to Hold Your Hand

Danny Wilson - The Second Summer of Love

Words Of Love - The Beatles - Maximum clapping
My Boyfriend's Back - The Angels - The girls sing about his best feature

and After

but the twang's still the thang

I love all songs that make you want to put your hands in the air and clap et voila nae bingo wings

Queen: Radio Gaga
Take That: last week we all had our bingos in the air to "someone else's dream"

My smaller girl children would like Hoedown throwdown by Miley Cyris (Hannah Montana) please as they know all the actions which include clapping 3 times

CAPTION

"No wonder we're in opposition. You can't even CLAP in time!"

;o)

Simon and Garfunkle Cecilia
Bay City Rollers Saturday??

This song has hand clapping in the chorus. My boss told me to ask for it on his behalf the last time we had this theme on Tuesday the 26th of May 2010. He says as you didn't play it then now you have the chance to make it up to him.

The Weeping Song - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

It would have worked for last night as well. All the more reason to play it tonight!

:o)

'Pride and Joy' + Marvin Gaye...with Martha Reeves and the Vandellas as backing singers!

'Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman' features Bryan Adams on lead and harmony vocals, guitar and hand claps.

Radiohead - 15 Step

Eddie Rabbitt - I Love A Rainy Night

You should move to Scotland then ☺

#30

To quote the Glasgow Empire wag as Roy Castle attempted to dazzle a bemused audience with yet another instrument, "Is there no end to this man's talent?"

#17

Huge +1 on Unsquare Dance

But ready the QI Klaxon, because here's your opening track:
* Cyndi Lauper - Iko Iko
(more clappy than The Clapping Song)

Also
* Mika - Lollipop (lovely complex mix of claps & finger snaps)
* Beck - Go It Alone
* Adamski - Killer (although those were drum machine claps)
* Lenny Kravitz- American Woman

Previously on the blog...

What more can be said Julie that hasn't already?

Here Glen, there's clapping on this is there not?


What I Like About You - The Romantics

I took my kids to their first ever concert at Princess Street Gardens in June 2002. It was a Bryan Ferry show and Horse were the support act.

I got my the 7 year old daughter to dictate a review to me for the website to see what the show was like form a kids perspective and the full aricle is at the link below, it is a scream.

The following is an extract form tat article regarding the clapping in Bryan's 'Sign of The Times'

#36

And shouts of "Hey!" - always a plus.

There was an item on TV last night about the huge economic growth in Brazil, the enormous oil terminal and export of iron ore to China. Three major store chains closed here yesterday but the M74 extension opened, so we can sit back and wait for the boom it will bring.

New York Groove - Hello



DC

#37 Great track from one of my favourite BF lp's.

Senga - do you have the Capn's list of themes and muisc played? If so do you also have the missing new themes jotter?

#41…25th May 2010!

#38

It still doesnt mean that I'm buying the drinks on the 6th.

#42

Well done Billy. I see the following weren't on last time out:

In the Navy - Village People

Close to Me - The Cure

#37

Very well written

I hope the band enjoyed their cup of 'tea'

#28

Close, but nae cigar. Your boss is thinking of 25th May 2010.

When apparently I'll have hud ma Dave Brubeck.

So in that case, I'll default to
* The Cure - Close to Me (with a hat-tip to Adam From Rio)
* The Go-Go's - We Got the Beat

Nom de Nom!

Le blog got there before me.

Vive le blogotariat! Allez les blogistas!
(I'm off tae France on Friday - can you tell?)

#43

I thought you might stake a fellow Scot to a meal.

#46

The blog is just as repetitive as the programme - it's pot and kettle.

I could have sworn Malcolm MacLaren's "Buffalo Gals" had clapping on it, but I don't hear any. Maybe it was on Zulus On A Time Bomb - Malcom MacLaren which I loved.

There's a song in my head which has a really prolific clapping bit on it - kinda like machine gun fire - very rapid: unfortunately I can't remember what it is, but age doesn't come alone, I suppose.

I'm quite certain there's some clapping on Shakin Steven's - You Drive Me Crazy which, although I have no interest in the artist, I do like this one number.Well produced pop is well produced pop.

I have to say though I never did like The Clapping Song or Mickey or any of those novelty things which involve clapping, so I'm kind of anti clapping.

Didn't Van Morrison do something about one hand clapping?

regardez youse

#49

"Double Dutch" has the clapping Norrie.


There are loads of clips of Malcolm's brother Steve clapping in various dugouts and technical areas - but these dont make for good radio.

Henri, I mean, not Norrie.

#49/50

Thanks - or Double Dutch - Malcolm MacLaren

regardez youse

#49 Van - Enlightenment. I suggested it last time round.

#53 re #49 meant in a great suggestion Henri type way.

#37 brilliant!

#42, #46

Gentlemen, I salute you! Now, who's gonnae dig oot the playlists for all the 'River' shows?

I texted in to suggest The Baseballs version of Umbrella but our hero hasn't commented.

It's truly awesome as handclapping goes. I wonder if one of our greatest ever singers, jack bruce will feature on tonights show singing I Feel Free

regardez youse

henri

#57 we've had river shows before?

#42,

Billy,

I don't think the team followed your link...

#59

Norrie,

Yes! 'River' shows are when we get to hear Kenneth McKellar sing 'The Ballad of Bonnie and Clyde'

#61
