Shirley Ellis - The Clapping Song

The Queen Of The World brought an idea to me - songs which all you Old Farts will recognize.  She was singing to me - this song - and I thought she'd lost her mind.  Instead, she was leading me to (ahem) Old Fart crowd pleasers.

I probably will make this a regular feature, although I cannot rely on the ever-youthful TQOTW for material.  For you Old Farts, I mean.

Damn, I remember 1965.  I guess I'm an Old Fart.

    I could sing-along to that.

    For once, I am safe - I do not know this song, so I am young, right?

    I was eleven when that song came out. A lot of the girls would sing that while jumping rope. Also the "Name Game".
