This rhythm works well with jazzy rock, or really old rock.  
  I like to use this rhythm while the class sings Twist and Shout.   
  I have some kids play the I IV V pattern on their piano keyboards (Beatles do it in the key of D, if you want to sing/play along) while the rest of us sing and do this rhythm.    We do a fast roll on our knees during that fun building part in the middle.
The rhythm on top is the clever one, the rhythm on the bottom is just one of my standard common time filler rhythms.
