  • "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

  • Without watching the video, it could be reference to the annoying habit non-musical crowds have of clapping on the wrong beats (1 and 3), ruining the feel of a song.
