Thunder Clap
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Thunder Clap is a form of dance that incorporates clapping in the air with a sliding motion. To perform this dance one must raise one hand and then with the second hand meet the first one half way making a clapping sound. Than that hand must fully extend. This motion is repeated to the beat of the music. Numerous artists use this dance move in videos and on tour. For example, Usher, Lil Jon and the East Side Boys all performed this dance during the Confessions World Tour.
The Beastie Boys reference this move in a lyric from the song "Dr. Lee, PhD", on the album, Hello Nasty:
- Lift up your cap and rise up and hap
- Do the thunder clap great hall of fire on the sky
- And reap your time weep your mind
- Weepin' time reapin' time harvest harvest time
