Clapping games

About

When I was a kid, my friends and I would play these games that had specific rhymes and songs and patterns of clapping. Even now, all it takes for me to remember a whole song is just that first line--which is helpful, because other random people on the internet post versions which are totally and completely wrong. I mean, seriously. "Eeny-meeny diseliney ooh-bop-bop shabeeny?" Please. It's obviously "Eeny-meany desaleeny ooh-wah double-eeny."

I had originally called this list "First lines of clapping games," but after reading the comments on cellar door, I realized that sometimes it just takes one or two words for me to remember.
