이 곡은 최근 개봉한 영화 '슈퍼배드 3'에도 사운드트랙으로 사용된 곡으로 미국 LA 출신 6인의 네오소울/인디 팝 밴드 'Fitz & The Tantrums'가 작년에 발표한 곡이다.
온 몸을 들썩이게 만드는 비트 있는 레트로 사운드가 일품이다. 그리고 노래 중간 중간 나오는 '짝짝짝' 박수는 중독성 있다.
그래서 안양 KGC인삼공사 농구팀 응원가로 쓰이기도 했다. 안양 KGC인삼공사의 대표 응원은 ‘짝짝이’라 불리는 응원 도구를 이용한 박수응원인데 핏츠 앤 더 탠트럼스(Fitz And The Tantrums)의 ‘handclap’이 장내에 울려퍼지고, 김맑음, 류세미, 최미진 등 치어리더들이 응원을 유도할 때면 관중들이 빨간색 '짝짝이'로 절도 있는 소리로 응원을 하기도 했다.
Somebody save your soul cause
you've been sinning
in this city I know
Too many troubles, all these
lovers got you losing control
You're like a drug to me,
a luxury, my sugar and gold
I want the good life
Every good night
you're a hard one to hold
Cause you don't even know
I can make your hands clap
Said I can make your hands clap
Somebody save your soul
cause you've been sinning
in this city I know
Too many troubles, all these
lovers got you losing control
You're like a drug to me,
a luxury, my sugar and gold
I want your sex and your
affection when they're
holdin' you close
Cause you don't even know
I can make your hands clap
Said I can make your hands clap
Every night when the
stars come out
Am I the only living
soul around?
Need to believe you
could hold me down
Cause I'm in need of
somethin' good right now
We could be screamin' till
the sun comes out
And when we wake we'd be
the only sound
I get on my knees and say
a prayer: James Brown
That I can make your hands clap
That I can make your hands clap
(Turn it up)
That I can make your hands clap
My flesh is searchin'
for your worst and best,
don't ever deny
I'm like a stranger,
gimme me danger
All your wrongs and your rights
Secrets on Broadway to the freeway,
you're a keeper of crimes
Fear no conviction, grapes
of wrath can only sweeten your wine
But you don't even know
I can make your hands clap
Said I can make your hands clap
Every night when the stars come out
Am I the only living soul around?
Need to believe you
could hold me down
Cause I'm in need of
somethin' good right now
We could be screamin'
till the sun comes out
And when we wake we'd be
the only sound
I get on my knees and say
a prayer: James Brown
That I can make your hands clap
That I can make your hands clap
That I can make your hands clap
That I can make your hands clap
So can I get a hand clap?
