16 November 2007--it's...Clapping songs?!?
« on: November 13, 2007, 08:14:37 PM »
Yep. Somebody wrote Dave a note, suggested if they could do whistling songs, what about clapping songs. So this Friday....

Btw, Dave wrote the mother of all blog entries (which is where I found out about the...clapping...songs.

http://www.kfog.com/Blog/Blog/ViewItem.asp?Entry=1985&id=35

So here's what the listener suggested:

Beck - Where it's at
Elvis Costello - Welcome to the working week
Ben Lee - Catch my disease
Cake - Opera Singer
They Might be Giants - Particle Man
Simon and Garfunkel - Cecilia
Badfinger - No Matter where you are
Queen - We Will Rock you
Rose Royce - Car Wash
the Clash - Rock the Casbah

I'm adding:

Ballroom Blitz-Sweet
Saturday Night-Bay City Rollers

...just for starters.

This isn't promising.  I'll offer Archie Bell & the Drells' "Tighten Up."  But I'm afraid the "Friends" theme will show up.

Que "The Clapper" commercial clip.

clap on

clap off

Speaking of which, I saw a commercial where they are marketing (just in time for Christmas) a Clapper for situations where clapping might not be a good idea.  Basically, it's a, um, light switch.  What will they think of next!?!

Agreed, and Clap for the Wolfman would make for some nice cheeze.

Do you suppose Dave's familiar with "Everybody Stand Up and Clap Your Hands" by Fred Parris and Black Satin (formerly the Five Satins)?  It's an obscurity from the Buddah box set.

Possibly, but "Fogheads choose" recognizable songs, mostly.  Hey Gaz, guess what song Brian "the Cannon" Bannon just played on WLNG -- he musta known I was listening today.

BOS for ThMaR.  Claps are very important in this one.

Whoa, so this is a surprise--an alternate take of the Beatles I'm Looking Through You.  Serious BOS candidate here.
