The Clash in Tokyo - Fujiyama Mama (With Pearl Harbor)

[gymnastix]

I know I saw Pearl Harbor & The Explosions at The Orpheum Theater in Boston, as the opening act for some band.

It could have been with The Clash, who I saw first at The Harvard Square Theater, with Bo Diddley and a Boston band called The Rentals as opening acts; then twice at The Orpheum Theater (once with The Undertones and Sam & Dave as opening acts, and the third time, I thought, with Lee Dorsey and a band called The B-Sides, which I thought was fronted by super-groupie Bebe Buell).

Oh, CONGRATULATIONS to the singer, the band and the uploader for these SO SENSITIVE LYRICS:

WELL I BEEN TO NAGASAKI, HIROSHIMA TOO

THE THINGS I DID TO THEM

BABY I CAN DO TO YOU

WELL I USED TO SAY I'M CRAZY

BOTH DEAF AND DUMB

BUT I CAN CAUSE DESTRUCTION

JUST LIKE AN ATOM BOMB

For pity's sake WAKE UP!!!!

I agree, not half of good as Wanda Jackson's growly version... but a good song is a good song.

[oOZePirateOo]

mick is hotttt here.

[karakoima]

The crowds in Tokyo either has a broad sense of humor or they don't know the lyrics... I wouldn't do that tune in Japan.

[HowBoutUhpssh]

I was under the impression I could not possibly love the Clash any more than I did two and half minutes ago. This video proved me wrong. Loved it. True, no one sings it like Wanda, but it's still great.

[KeithRamone]

Paul made a mean rockabilly too, and Joe not too bad. Mick was too glam to pull it off (and later too, uh, wigger?)

[generationnothing]

oh come on. everyone always gives mick a hard time for being too "pop". i think he pulls it off just fine. he does the solo perfectly fine!

[KeithRamone]

Crazy! I'm a fan of the original and love the clash. Whata find, never heard o' this.

[exilemike]

It's ok, but not even close to Wanda Jackson, she can't begin to have the voice that Wanda has.

[gabysalter]

Pearl was married to Paul during this period.

[grrrrrsum1stolemynam]

No she wasn't she was Paul's

[GOFFMEISTER]

pearl harbour was mick jones' girlfriend.

[grrrrrsum1stolemynam]
