Pia Zadora - The Clapping Song (1983)

[heine71]

The British female group The Belle Stars also covered this Clapping Song song around the same 1982-1983 period.

I wonder if she is still married to that old guy or if she is a widow now? OH GAWD.

[80sfanfreak]

No, she divorced him in 1993

[kalinamic]

DId she really? Such a long time ago. I thought she 'loved' him. Oh well, so much for that. LOL

Made the Top 40 in the USA in Feb. 1983.

Forgot to mention this is Pia Zadora's remake of the 1960's Shirley "The Name Game/The Nitty Gritty" Ellis' song.

[vdeferens]

Except it's clearly not.

[heine71]

Why clearly not?

[insektl0gic]

I think you mean the remake of the Shirley Ellis 1965 "The Clapping Song". This version was a big hit in the 80's roller rink scene. =3

[heine71]

I didn't know that.

Was there a music video for MTV airings as well, I think it's on YouTube somewhere...
