One nation under the clap beat.

If I explain it to someone who doesn't comprehend much about music, they'll look at me blankly. Most of the songs that you like on the radio have something in common and I'm not talking about verse, chorus, verse. It's the clap beat.

Everyone likes to clap their hands and sing along. Hell! There is even a band called "Clap your hands and say yeah!" You can clap on the two or the four or both.

One and clap! Three and Clap! Get it?

Today's clap beat jam is Big Boi's "Shutterbug." Keeping the clap on the two and the four, Big Boi (originally from Outkast) brings back memories of American wrestler turned Iranian traitor, Sgt. Slaughter.
