"If that failed, I'd just clap every time the person in the song said a word. For children's music, that was usually close enough." It's not just children's music. Most songs you find today, if you listen closely enough, the words follow the beat. I.e. every once in a while, a word starts on the "one" beat. And we take it for granted. You'll very quickly realize something is "off" if that's not the case. That's usually what you find in "artsy", "look at us we're weird and different" type of music. Annoying most times, and incredibly difficult to get right.
