#MusicVideo #Premiere: The Cle Elum - Handclaps and Tambourines Get your first look at the retro-styled video for this excellent, #powerpop throwback single from the #indierock duo's new album #newmusic #TheCleElum #Handclaps #tambourines

Indie rock duo (and couple) The Cle Elum are both long-time music industry veterans, and have announced their new album It’s Ok If it Falls Apart is coming out August 16th. With assists from Matthew Caws (Nada Surf) and Josh Caterer (Smoking Popes) on the new album, an excellent punk and power-pop inspired songwriting throughout, the band comprised of Sarah Sargent Pepper and Ian Lee are giving…

[This game is made up of multiple parts, but it begins with a handclap. High and low are the same as on chick-a-low.]

Tic tac toe,

Gimme a high,

Gimme a low,

Gimme a three in a row. (weave fingers together as if to crack them and clap against partner’s three times)

[The next part is played as rock, paper, scissors. Best of three.]

Granny got hit by UFO,

Johnny got hit by UFO,

Daddy got hit by UFO.

[The losing player turns around, and the winner traces their finger across their back while saying:]

Spider, spider on your back,

Which finger was...

That! (Poke their back with one finger)

[If they guess the finger correctly they win, if not, the other players wins. The winner takes the loser’s arm and gives them a gentle punch at the top and the bottom with each word]

I win,

You lose,

Now you get the biggest

[On ‘full-stop’ touch head, then lift up your leg to touch your toe.

On ‘comma, comma’ put left hand on right hip, and right hand on left hip, so that they are crossed.

On ‘dash, dash’ uncross hands and place left hand on left hip, the right on right hip.

On ‘turn around, bum bash’ follow instructions.]

Popeye the sailor man,

Full-stop.

Lived in a caravan,

Full stop.

When he went swimming, (pretend to swim)

He kissed all the women, (blow kisses)

Popeye the sailor man,

Full stop, full stop,

Comma, comma,

Dash, dash,

Turn around,

Miss Mary had a baby

called Tiny Tim,

She put him in the bathtub

to see if he could swim,

He drank all the water.

He ate all the soap.

He tried to eat the bathtub

But it wouldn't fit down his throat.

Miss Mary called the doctor.

Miss Mary called the nurse.

Miss Mary called the lady

With the crocodile purse.

'Mumps' said the doctor.

'Measles' said the nurse.

'Nothing' said the lady

with the crocodile purse.

Out went the water.

Out went the soap,

Out went the bathtub,

that wouldn't go down his throat.

Out ran the doctor.

Out ran the nurse.

Out ran the lady
