[crunkbronx]

[CockneyRebel1979]

Such a cute little ditty. The part about the monkey dying always used to upset me as a lad, though. :'(

[DevaWolfe]

My dad used to sing this to me when I was little. I thought it was something he made up! I never knew this was a real song!

[Razzle162]

I believe I heard this in Step Up 2.

[ElmoandCookiiMonstaa]

[eklektro68]

@eastcoaster187, if it offends you, why even bother commenting?

I'm SO sorry Cher Lloyd covered your song, we promise it won't happen again.

Sincerely England.

[770343666]

'Baccara clapping song' is better than this.

[poopyy99]

This song pisses me off for some reason.

[zackattackk2]

i always thought it was the monkey got coke (as in cocaine)

[hungryherbie]

@zackattackk2 if it was coke and not choke well at least the monkey would have gone to heaven very happy lol

[theEman232]

@hungryherbie A referance to drugs!? So funny and cleaver! Well done!

[hungryherbie]

[heriqc]

[MatthewTS22]

@heriqc You’re out of your bloody mind mate

[MrMargaretScratcher]

@heriqc Ha yeah, good one..

[TripeSmuggler]

@heriqc mong

[gtmsnba13]

now i know why VW used this song for that Bettle commercial. AKA the worst car ever made in the history of car making.

[hungryherbie]

@gtmsnba13 your opinion and did you know it's one of the best selling cars of all time ..not bad for the worst car in history according to you

[shantanukhandkar]

This is embarrassing.... at best...

[hungryherbie]

@shantanukhandkar so it looks like you won't be clapping

[Krintok]

I'm sorry to say this... but FUCK this song.

I've heard that Beetle commercial WAY too many times.

Literally gives me headaches every time...

I ain't trolling, just venting. This has been overplayed.

[Shitballs78]

@Krintok Thats a shame i love it and the commercial brought me here!!

[xxtasha10xx]

@Krintok LOL why did you come onto the video then?

[xxtasha10xx]

@Krintok Remove yourself from this video.Retard.

[Krintok]

@xxtasha10xx Make me, bitch.

[Aspenfran]

[jeffmuffins4047]

i think i'm the only one in my high school sophomore class who knows what this song is..... ;) hahahahaha, I should have been born in the 50s so i could tahat's should be (that's) and ld should not be in there in my last comment

[jeffmuffins4047]

i think i'm the only one in my high school sophomore class who knows what this song is..... ;) hahahahaha, I should have been born in the 50s so i could grow up there and be of my current age in the 60s or 70s that would be cool. but the stupid thing is, a kid in my class didn't think they even had movies in the sixties...duhhhhhhhhh. (tahat's why i hate my 15-16 year ld fellow youth of america!!!!! i love the 50s, 60s, and 70s!!!!! long live the 50s, 60's, and 70s!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jeffmuffins4047]

just heard this on x factor 10 seconds before i listened to this (it's what made me listen to this... love this song) thank you Volkswagen Beetle commercial!!!!!!!

[MsGeordieGirlz]

I remember my mum singing this to me when i was little

[cassandrabadie]

i was so excited to hear this song on x factor i remenber singing this at about 9 years old coming home from school i had my transistor radio wow i is old as dirt

[myrnlynn1117]

remember when they did this on dancing with the stars..look it up

they did a great job...those were the days...This year stinks... Great

car commercial...

[MrTbh601]

im looking for a 3-6 mafia song,i thought i could find it through this,somebody help me.

[hotdog2020]

@MrTbh601 Cupid ft. bob 369? That what you mean?

[loveofshinythings]

@xcorehendis If you don't like it, then you don't have to listen to it. Nobody really cares about your opinion. Ever heard of the saying "if you cant say anything nice don't say anything at all"? Yeah you should listen to it more often. That's all I have to say to you.

[xcorehendis11]

This is straight up trash

[mindymitchell54]

back to my manson studies...if I even get to play real keys

[mindymitchell54]

goddamn commercials. I do like this song though

[madjazz56]

[happinessislost]

@madjazz56

[andreashvit]

@madjazz56 likewise

[HaAntics]

@madjazz56 Me too :)

[dwarrior1228]

They all went to heaven in a literal boat!☺☻

[dwarrior1228]

Don't laugh at this Just do it

Start thinking something you really really want cause this is astounding the person that sent me this to me said their wish came true 10 mins after they read the mail so I thought what the heck you have just been visited by Dr Suess's cat in the hat he will grant you one wish when the countdown is over

10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1

MAKE A WISH

Send this to 10 videos within the hour you read this

If you do your wish will come true

[silverandsnow]

@dwarrior1228 hello spammer :)

[dwarrior1228]

@silverandsnow hello asshole! :) im not a spammer i just did what it said just to play around!

[silverandsnow]

@dwarrior1228 alrighty then.... 

[ilovemusic1401]

i came to this song because i was looking up a different video and this song was for the ad and i was like hell i like that song more than the one im trying to look up xD i love this song fun to dance to!!!

[deeway1963]

One of the coolest songs ever recorded! Thank you Volkswagon for reminding everyone of this classic!

[godtheonyt]

The monkey got choked!!!

[Reebok125AXB]

Yay!!! Thanks Volkswagon for bringing life back to this song! There's no telling what other groovy songs this generation is missing out on ):-(

[HeyClaudiaa]

[gellycrock]

Er jeg eneste som kommer ifra reklamen om fårepølse eller no sånt?

[uchihastadheim]

PØLSE

[xXxJJBxXx5089]

its quite old, but i LOVE the song, i got it from Because Of Winn Dixie and the song struck me straight away.

[natalierosen]

This is SO good. I heard a VW add was using this and it prompted me to look it up. How well I remember back in the 1960's!! LOVED it :)

[iluvpitbulls09]

I just saw a commercial and this song was in the background, and everytime this commercial comes on I say "man that song is so addicting, I wish I knew it". So glad I found it and know the singer and the name!

[babygirl1234380]

13 people should go choke on tabacoo

[BroManDale]

@babygirl1234380 1 person should learn how to spell tobacco

[babygirl1234380]

@BroManDale um idc now leave me alone

[stevebeagle]

better than the 'name game"

[Mosux2007]

I remember this song from when I was a kid. Thanks for posting!

[lorettasams8]

OOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWwwwww!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!! Packin' n' cleanin' and cleanin' and packiin' - singin' this one make it mo' betta, dontchano!!!!!!!!!!!

[djdavemick]

Directly inspired from the "Miss Mary Mack" clapping game

So great!

[xcorehendis11]

Haha wow this is horrible.

[Nickie0016]

The best!!!!

[guitargirl33956]

I have the 45 (record) with this song from the 60s. I always loved this song. Glad to see it on TV commericals now.

[adcan45]

Fun!

[Gonk]

[onlinebills02]

[SirNetheredhart]

Classic

[sonottiny38]

my mom used to sing this song, I thought she was crazy, didn't know it was real. Thanks Volkswagon.

[monsterhighlover1001]

[jab060154]

The best >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.

[liahkhute]

I remember when I was like... 8, my granma taught me this song

Lol, I'm a teen now, and I still like the oldies (:

[HonchoPoncho455]

I'm glad I was around to hear these song before the tv commercial. What would these companies do without the 60s

[HeyTinaaaa]

@HonchoPoncho455 They would use another song that isn't from the 60s.

[expressyourself221]

Thank you Volkswagen Beetle commercial. :)

[MizzHollyWilson]

This is actually alright

[stratocaster539]

Always loved the groove on this record.

[12lmeganl12]

I cannot find any chords to this song :( Can someone send me a message with them?

[gekkegast1000]

Scratch got me here

[unoiht]

this songs on step up2 :P

[Expressoblood]

Awesome song, just wish It was longer.

[Rperkin27]

1st RAP song :P Not compared to Eminem

[1234scrubs1]

Dad told me this to remember the three times tables. does this make me warped.

[samaraFnzes]

cher :D

[wallerpaul70]

Criminal that a talentless turd,who's heroines another talentless turd,gets more hits than this brilliant version

[hungryherbie]

9 people don't like clapping ........some folks are hard to please ...top marks

[JackDixy]

@hungryherbie They're just jelous because they don't have any hands.

[hungryherbie]

@JackDixy ...they probably in straight jackets and would find it very hard to clap and there's 14 of them now LOL

[xxashykxx]

Poor monkey :(

[TCMO99]

Now I know where Iggy Pop got some of his lines for his song "Loco Mosquito." Anyway, great song. Shirley Ellis was such an underrated performer!

[monkeynuts76]

I COULD SEE SLAVES SINGING THIS WHILE PICKING COTTON

[marshalljimduncan]

God bless the clap

[radicright]

I remember this song quite well. It was 1966. I was 16. It was pretty popular. And, so were miniskirts.

[endless441]

Love you Shirley and the fun tunes you made.

[stevarino1989]

I'm such a young whippersnapper . . . I've never heard this song before! Is that bad? I know "The Name Game" though.

[Georgie2400]

Cher made this song rubbish cher's version is wayyy better this is rubbish :/ xx

[Candy0481]

i like the way cher sang it better :L

[MissSophieBethxxxxx]

The originals always better!!xx

[CreamEgg666]

this version is better! :)

like if you think this is better than cher's version!

<33

[RavingPandaa]

Whoever says that cher's version is better. You are so Wrong.

[cocolloyd07]

cher's version's better...

[pt8648]

Nothing beats the real thing. Thanks Shirley and stoneycwb for posting.

[sephyy135]

Cher is 100% better And she is 100% good they sang in different way so why are u all been so tight for

[sephyy135]

Cher is 100% better

[iHayleyy]

People are so rude! This is definitely a beaty song, and Cher turned it into a rap/RnB song, so they're different in a way?

People have different tastes, so stop dissing each other and accept their opinion, fucking hell.

And for the record, I love both. :)

[jorivigil]

i love this song!

[lawrence9333]

All Cher did was turn a good song into a freaky sounding song,like they

always do.

[ThatSmoothOperator]

Cher made it better? Get the hell out of here, you're a kid who doesn't know shit about music.

[milky5432]

I just went and watcheds this cher girl SHE IS SHIT!! she is truely one of the worst singers i have ever heard omg how she got into xfactor i will never know,

If anyone cares heres the link

watch?v=c3uMZcHxkVw

[FayeandRosie4eva]

chers one was so much better !

[MrAlal123]

:} its catchy!!!#clap clap clap#!

[rtmnmk]

Cool Song

I was actually didn't know this one exists before youtube.

I knew the only Belle Stars version...

By the way, who da fuck is that Cher which everybody talk about?

Is she one of those "stars"/ "reallity" TV show?

I just can't stand those pathetic robo-dolls - they are sooo... DEAD!

[treschicestmoi]

@rtmnmk 

[milky5432]

@rtmnmk watch?v=c3uMZcHxkVw

She is THE MOST FAIL EVER :@

[DeathKitty123456]

Likes the way this song isn't actually sang by cher :| she sang it once on the x factor, she didn't even win, yeah i liked her performance but stop arguing this isn't her singing ffs. Just enjoy the song (or not if you don't like it)

[lalala9848]

6 people cant even count 3 6 9 xD!

[REDBULLHEADiphone]

Never heard this before. This is my new favourite song.

I'm 30. Maybe I should see someone.

[yourinmymind]

cher is not crap?!?!? SHE FREAKING BRILLIANT!!

[CrudeDude]

The Clap Song? Singin' with an STD! Ouch! It hurts when I pee...clap..clap

[SevereCircle]

Brilliant!

[OrangeD00D]

Guys I never said I didn't like Cher but that her take on this is crap.

This is such and old song with an old vibe that making it euro pop doesn't work.

[ALKremers]

I didn't know Cher did this song, I saw her in concert on one of her farewell tours (back in '02) I will have to check it out. I tend to like originals better then remakes, but will keep an open mind.

[ALKremers]

@ALKremers Ok, so, wrong Cher lol... I am American and had never heard of X Factor or this Cher. It was a fun performance, and I certainly would have never thought to mix this with Missy Elliot's "Get Your Freak On," but I can't say I like it better. My daughter probably would though, and that is the target demographic afterall. Just glad to see this song get a new life.

[XxXhafsaXxX]

Cher was amazing! But no can ever beat the originals! You have to remember that this is HER song not Chers =) xx

[Charlotteeeeexx]

omfg. who cares if you like cher or not just shut up :|

[WeirdsAGoodThing]

RIGHT can I just say something! All you Cher fans trying to say that chav made this ORIGINAL CLASSIC HIT better need to go and WATCH that cover. People like XmissgemmaX123, AuntieFit and whoever you are think that bitch is talented, no. She isn't. GO AND WATCH CHER LLOYD IF YOU THINK SHE'S SO FANTASITC!!!

[DashyTerix]

@WeirdsAGoodThing

Cher's pretty stupid but hell man, you like One Direction so you're even more of a "chav" ahahah lmao if you like anyone of X Factor you have no right to diss people on that show because you dont knwo what talent is

[WeirdsAGoodThing]

@DashyTerix How am I a chav to like One Direction?

Do they throw tantrums- no, but Cher does.

Do they pretend to be hardcore when they know they aren't- no, but Cher does.

And besides, who are YOU to try and dictate what talent is? You're the same level as EVERYONE who has commented on this video. And before you go preaching to me about how I don't have the right to diss people on that show- LOOK what YOU'RE doing!? DISSING ONE DIRECTION.

So STFU.

[BuonaNochesBitches]

I like both versions:) Song Cher and Shirley's amazing.

[liahkhute]

Oh em gee, my granmaw taught this to me when i was !

RIP to her <3

[AuntieFit]

Cher Is Well Better Like This If U Agree

[AussiiLad123]

@AuntieFit Haha no one agree's

Cher is a whore !! Slag, sket, slut, nob head, retard, stuck up bitch :L

She really cant rap

[mconstanta]

i guess this song was considered good in the 60's when it originally came out like this. but if Cher performed it this way she would be humiliated and we wouldn't like it. now though, i love the song..with Cher's version. all im saying is that this is too old for our times..things change!

[Lycia71]

Cher is crap at singing this WAY better!!!!

[OrangeD00D]

Okay, I'm sorry, but this is like so much better.

Cher's is like.... crap.

[jaiehmdee]

@OrangeD00D Cher is not crap haha

[amyisgreat01]

no way m8, i agree with this is aloy better, but cher is not crap, she's amazing, but not as good at this song if thats what you meen

[OrangeD00D]

@amyisgreat01 Just her take on this song. Cher is a pretty good artist most of the time.

[Pmccaff2009]

@OrangeD00D Bollocks.

Cher FTW

[thebuckrogers22]

@OrangeD00D no way i love cher's version
