Satoyuki Fujimara has just broken the Guinness World Record for the most finger snaps in a minute.

Coming in at 296 times in one minute, nothing beats his facial expressions and animated squatting technique. Fujimara has beaten the previous record holder - Sweden's Jens Gudmansen, who took the record in 2009 with 278 snaps in one minute.

So for today's 9:30 Coffee Break, what songs do you want to hear that feature finger snapping?

Special challenge: See if you can avoid these songs that we recently played for a "cold snap" Coffee Break last year:

Lorde - Royals
Joe Henderson - Snap Your Fingers
The Replacements - Nightclub Jitters
Sleigh Bells - Bitter Rivals
Queen and David Bowie - Under Pressure
Peggy Lee - Fever
Glass Animals - Gooey
Roger Miller - King of The Road
