So I googled "Stomp Clap Hey"

...and then I kept clicking on songs I've never heard of and as soon as I started listening I was like "I know every one of these lyrics and can sing along."
As the jokes in the comments of the songs go, I must have heard them while eating burgers in a place started by two guys that just had a crazy idea. They do things a little differently there, where every ingredient has a story. Yes, I will take the side of truffle fries in a metal can. No, $8 is a fine price to pay for those, thank you.
I used to go to parties where we'd just drink and sing. We had songsheets. I used to go to sea shanty sings in bars. I love participatory singing and outside of a religious context Americans almost never get a chance to just get together and sing in groups (and my shul is never going to play "Ho Hey" during services).
Nostalgia is a trap, but there are times I really do miss 2013. But I don't think it's the actual era that I miss at all, but just...being young with the world spread out before me. Especially now that I'm older and it can take me more than one day to bounce back from intensive exercise. Ouch.
Here's one playlist I found. One thing I really do appreciate is that the comments in the songs are half the same dumb joke I made about expensive burgers and half heartfelt memorials to spouses who have passed on or unrequited love.
