Hehe, you said "The Clap".

I'm partial to "Clap Your Hands Say Vagina".

I've seen you use that clap your hands say vagina joke like 5 times in the last month.

Dude/Dudette, if you don't know who Thelonious Monk is please refrain from further embarrassing yourself and do some music research. Start in the genre of Jazz. Monk is god. Your little Clap your hands band are microbes in comparison.
