A little more info:

'''"The Clapping Song"''' is an [[United States|American]] song originally recorded by [[Shirley Ellis]] in 1965. The song was released shortly after Shirley had hit it big with a similar song, "[[The Name Game]]". The lyrics of "The Clapping Song" are reminiscent of a [[nursery rhyme]] or [[jump-rope rhyme]], and also feature instructions for a [[clapping game]]. The song made it to the top ten on the charts, the last of three songs Shirley performed which did so.

The song has been remade several times:

*[[The Belle Stars]] covered the song in 1982
*[[Pia Zadora]] had a minor top 40 hit with a cover in 1983
*[[Aaron Carter]] released a cover of the song on his 2000 album ''Aaron's Party (Come Get It)''
*[[Lil' Kim]] performed the song (as Shirley Ellis) on an episode of the [[National Broadcasting Company|NBC]] drama [[American Dreams]]
