The lyrics to "Clap Snap" by Icona Pop tell a surreal and playful story rooted in a classic American nursery rhyme and hand-clapping game often titled "The Clapping Song."
Simultaneously, a monkey is on a streetcar line, chewing tobacco. The situation takes a turn when the "line" (likely the streetcar's electrical line) snaps, leading to the monkey being "choked".
Following this misfortune, the entire group—the monkey, the goose, and presumably the narrator—is transported to heaven, not in a grand chariot, but in a modest little rowboat . The Theme: Rebellion and Joy
A celebration of freedom and individuality , using the "clap, snap, pat" sequence to invite everyone to let loose and ignore the rules for a night. Icona Pop - Clap Snap Lyrics - Dork
