"everybody's clapping on the one and the three"
is a line from the Jason Isbell song The Last of My Kind

Anyone know if this is a reference to particular musical traditions where the emphasis is on 1,3 and those where 2,4 are the beat?
thanks
Probably.
It's well worth checking out the video of Harry Connick Jr messing with an audience by sneaking an extra beat into a piece, thus taking the clapping audience from 1/3 to 2/4.
Will google that - thanks.
