I was a kid when this came out. Got grounded for saying the obvious “Chuck!” in the car with my mom. (I was 13).

My wife (we are in our 60s) taught our grand kids Shirley Ellis’ Clap song. Said her and her classmates jumped rope to it. People ask what the h3ll happened to the kids.
School indoctrination, no two parent families, and the left. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

It just occurred to me.

WE HAD RHYTHYM !

Even bad and shy dancers were sort of "on the beat"

And as I befin to dwell on this thought, I can't remember when kids danced with rhythym (even white kids, thanks to Dick Clark) SINCE those 1960's days.
