Xmas Instrumenting: Snapping

Finger popping time, daddio. Discounting cookies, sudden cold spells, jeans fasteners, witty comebacks, or photos… the number of songs with percussive phalange jazz is small.

Deana Carter’s “Boogie Woogie Santa” betrays his cool when all at once his fingers started to snap. Dixieland boogie.

K Bibbles does the BLUE ALERT nasty rap for “S.O.M.L. (sit on my lap),” punctuated with Boom-Snap-Claps. Confessions of a mall Santa.

Church party music from Taryn Leia Prescott has “Ridiculous Grace” kicking up heels, hands clapping and fingers snapping. It’s pretty wild. Pop.

Sydney Belle is all about you, dear. “My Christmas Dream” involves mistletoe and dancing. You got my finger snapping, she wants you to know. R+B lounge pop.

Moonman Music is morose over “Late Merry Cursemas.” Is Thanos really cruel for snapping life away? he wants to know, for this holiday where he’s alone, unloved, and cold. Tinkly pop.
