I reckon the most important thing about Clap Hands is that, even though Tom had turned a musical corner earlier with Swordfishtrombones, this was the first song to properly introduce listeners to the genius that is Marc Ribot, who had an enduring influence on this and several subsequent albums. As a young guitar player this song and his solo in it totally changed my life!
