Remember Clap Your Hands Say Yeah!, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah!?  The wildly eccentric, mostly ineligible, circus-fire vocals whose unpretentiousness begs you to sing along with your best guess on what the words are?  The abso f’n lutely rocking four-piece backing band reeking from a full day in the kitchen of everything danceable and late nights on a 1974 BBC live radio broadcast?
 

This album’s enthralling sound is rumored have been a top pick of legendary David Bowie and legendary David Byrne in the same month.  Upon its release, it fulfilled the fledgling promise of the upbeat, rock style on whose leading edge it rode.
 

This album will forever remind me of my virgin visit to NYC, packed 7-deep into a small 4-door, racing through the Brooklyn streets behind an absolute madman at the wheel, showing little care or consideration to the usual traffic laws and guidelines!  If you want, it can remind you of that too.
 

Long story short, it’s summertime, and your summertime adventures need a soundtrack. Get this one back out.  Stomp your feet, shake your fist, get sweaty, and sing into your imaginary microphone on stage in front of an arena filled with rows upon rows of people singing into their imaginary microphones.

Note: I have to reveal here, that this is not much of an “Alamo” for me because it still dominates my 25 most played list 3 years after its release.  But I thought it might be for you.
