Ever since Celeste and I set the World Record for Largest Cowbell Ensemble earlier this summer at a Sea Dogs Game, I've been keeping track of other world records around the , um...world. So congrats to some guy in Illinois named Bryan Bednarek who just set the world record for the fastest clapping by a human being. 804 times in one minute! The WAY he claps is so weird...Check it:

This whole thing got me thinking of all the great "clapping" songs in the BLM Archives. Here are my top 3.

#3. The Cars. Just try NOT to clap at the beginning of this classic.

#2 belongs to John Mellencamp. This song would be sooooo different without the clapping.

#1 The Stooges-This may be a controversial pick but I don't care because I love The Stooges.I found this song years ago during BLM's A to Z and the song stuck in my head for 8 months. Love ya Iggy...now CLAP YOUR HANDS...

Did I overlook one of your fave hand clap songs? let me know on the comments below on on Facebook or Twitter #handclapsrock. I applaud you!
