[jordhurdes]

BEST! cover, its sooo smooth

[sonofsilence]

An interesting cover version. I've added this to my FB page dedicated to covers. It's called "the Guilty Pleasure of the Cover Version". Feel free to join in.

[matteadc]

He is lucky to be married to her she is beautiful

[thecocktailnation]

Not too shabby!

[whatthefuck1085]

dad: 'its not as good as the original'

me: 'yeah but its pretty damn fine!'

dad: 'true.'

me: *smug look*

[ChildrenOfAtlantis]

I listen to this version everyday at work. I can't even remember who The Clash are anymore.

[Boweavel]

Who is the host ?? Caroline Tran ? (sp)

[Absintheminded78]

@Boweavel Mel Bampton (it says it at the beginning)

[MsFfaatt]

Guitar Chords - i use bar cords for everything except for the Em in the verse - i play open. Intro and Chorus - Dm, Am, G, Em, F, Em, C

Verse - Am, Em (open chord), G, Dm - the ending of the verse it goes Am to Em back to Am.

Bridge - toggle between Am and F (i think)

The Dm - i think (i don't know what the chord is called) paul bars the 5th fret, strums and mutes - basically u hit the dm, pull 3 fingers off - strum a few times, and then fingers back on to finish the dm.

[ihearttennis19]

must be the best cover of this song!

[asdfghjklkjhgfdsa555]

I didnt know Paul could smile

[scaredofbumz]

his voice is so awesome!

[yafanna3]

great song, takes me back. good video

[NewAgeGrave]

lol I like how he sung her mistaken line toward the end there for her.

[jongtu]

Epic bands the original and cover.

[nogoodusernames667]

This version of Rock The Casbah is a lot funkier than The Clashes' original ... actually better to dance to and voices to die for //;-p)

Thought it appropriate to play a little Something For Kate on this day 17/11/10, the day when Prince William proposed to Kate Middleton. I wonder how many jewels will be on her wedding dress next year? Well, just as long as the family jewels are in order that's all that matters eh? *LUV*

[muzcnc]

That bass player is smokin hot

[sose102]

Bahah Mel is well, melting everytime Paul sings 'Charlene goes lightning' ..to be fair I would be too.

[guitardudejosh19]

wow these guys kick ass!!!!!!!!

[MrHansolo77]

thats pretty kool it would sound better loud though but hey its the clash!

[shenny666]

[fac443]

[Sambucacat]

The Poison on the Grill. Desert Oil waste.

[TopJimmyWinn]

[aemracing3]

[tuba3]

?... I dont like it, she plays only root notes... she doesnt play that cool funky line in the refrain.. :/

[trandojedi]

[BangsMacgee]

paul dempsey has maybe the sexiest voice. tied with chris cheney. (:

[louisegirl90]

Totally agreed. On both counts. My two favourite singers.

Of all time. :)

[BangsMacgee]

well well well.

here i was thinking i was in line to be both Mrs Dempsey and Cheney simultaneously.

how very silly of me.

[LolitaCupcakeXD]

Oh I completely agree!

[jabbid111]

I love his voice!

[tincat77]

Just love this! Seeing them perform this at Splendour goes down as my favourite festival moment of all time!!

[independentsaint]

[SICKCUNTIS]

[David151289]

[uploadloginsitehelp]

Are you kidding? these guys are great! and this is a fantsatic version! It sounds so much better than the original!

[rofea]

your sarcasm is impressive

[uploadloginsitehelp]

Nah i really like these guys. you really need to see them live in order to appreciete how good they are. (no sarcasm)

[SSSSBBBB81]

Yeah the cover is pretty good but nothing beats the Original

[NMerenda1]

@SSSSBBBB81 but this is live.....gotta give 'em kudos for that? yeah???? :)

[Antcop8000]

the original is amazing

[cpj93070]

@uploadloginsitehelp BULLSHIT.

[JOsh97988704]

[gruzzledog]

i am deeply in love with paul dempsey. chicks are for gays. i am a man. charlene goes lightning

[JPPlatinum]

[GiantNinjaScorpion]

[Shoelia]

They played this at Home Bake a few years ago

[notsurt]

Love this song. Love this cover. Love this band.

[badgermeister85]

Does anyone know where I can get the tab for the lead riff at the start?

[slipkorn69er]

i had to get a friend to tab it for meh cause i just couldn't find one anywhere...

so hard finding shit for aussie bands...

[masterhavoc302]

any chance of getting it online........that would be good

[doctorbenjiphd]

chorus: Dm Am G Em F Em Am

verse: Am Em G Dm

i dont know if its actually all those minor chords but i think it sounds better, but i suck at guitar so maybe im wrong?

[doctorbenjiphd]

oops sorry theyre 7th chords not minors

[grinnerz87]

Thanks for posting! Great clip, great band :)

[hit0k1ri]

I remember going to the first gig SFK did at the Zoo after Desert Lights was released and they played this song out of no where. I just happened to have been going through a "Clash" phase at the time. It was too good. It just rocked so goddamn hard!

[leechredda]

thats just an amazing cover version of a great song. his voice is beautiful. chapeau.

[fac443]

I'm not Aussie. That said, I could never fathom why SFK never broke outside of Australia. Been following them since Echolalia, which is one of the best albums ever, and they just get better. Didn't know of this cover. Now that I do, I'm a happier human being.

[Unotuchable]

@fac443

The same thing occurred with a shitload of other Aussie indie bands during the 90's. A lot of them were not even discovered outside of Australia and just kinda faded.

[PurpleBanannas]

@fac443 If an artist (or artists in this case) break out and become very big and gain lots of publicity, they will be told to sing specific lyrics, and if they refuse they will either be ignored by the mass media or set up to go to jail or set up to have a bad name, or even if they do use their lyrics and later on refuse to when they tell them will be killed. (eg michael jackson, tupac shakur)

[onesexymonkeyful]

@fac443 Unfortunately I do understand why they never broke outside of Australia but I wish It was not the case.

If everybody discovered the band by hearing Monsters by random chance while suffering a mental breakdown. We might not have a very functional society. :)

Although It's unforgivably greedy of me. If they did become internationally appreciated they might not have played at my local pub so often. :P

[PartlyCloudySkies]

Haha that was so cute when he deliberately messed up the lyrics XD

[GiantNinjaScorpion]

did they say "shareef girls like it"?

[Dippydhino]

shreif dont like it

but i like yors betta ahahaha

[GiantNinjaScorpion]

yeah lol, i meant when they purposely screwed up the lyrics

[shortmilo]

Lol I'm pretty sure they did.

[spencer540]

Cool, I liked it.

[acrox1]

i see very few good comments about this cover of rock the casbah, and i think this video deserves a good comments, you shouldnt compare it the the clash, casue there not the clash, but you got to give them props cause they did a great job,

[onearmninja]

lol i only just picked up he changed the last chorus! what great band, great song, thanks for this :)

[pete37927]

haha now i finally know why he changes the lyric in the chorus near the end.

[park17]

does anyone know where I can find Ben Kweller's Like a Version of The Beach Boy's God Only Knows

[sumrandom5]

yeah and also peter john and bjorns like a version of me and julio down by the school yard

plz

[xstarlightstarbright]

Wow, this is awesome. They play a GREAT cover.

I personally think it's better done than the Clash.

[park17]

I totally agree.

When I heard this on the radio I hadn't heard the original before, but when I looked it up I don;t think it was as good!

[sandypants13]

That was awesome ^_^ Gotta love SFK

[Prosth3ticKitteh]

If it is so shit, don't watch it let alone spend your time on it?

[parkingst0nes]

He's bored. So are we all. Tired of hearing people say that as if they don't know know why.

[RAD88]

What a beautiful thing

[UrinalStageFright]

The Bassist is cute!

[LetBulletsRain]

I'm practically dancing in my seat. This brought back memories. Lol. I love you Paul! <3

[jeff42]

awesome!

[gaijin56]

BETTER than the original. SFK Rocks!

[deweyfinn123]

this is not better than the clash you faggot

[GeelongPride]

Damn its such a good cover!!! That singers really good.

[Dondonisgood]

YAY!! Thanks for uploading this!! I remember seeing them play this as Splendour in the Grass '06... I was so cut when i got home and couldnt find it anywhere... SFK is without a doubt one of the best Aussie bands and anyone who thinks different can get lost!!

[elporfi]

best cover for Rock the Casbah. no doubt

[UrinalStageFright]

I think Something for Kate does the best cover of "Rock the bCasbah" I have ever heard.

[TheTollundMan]

Something for Kate should probably stay away from vandalizing The Clash songs, or anyone else's music, in future.

[mattybee73]

I think you and your negative comments should stay away! If you don't have anything nice to say.... SFK are one of our most tallented Aussie bands around. Dempsey is a genius. Cover or original, they rock!

[UrinalStageFright]

We are very limited for videos of "Rock the Casbah" We have the original (and best) from The Clash. '83's US Festival (poor quality). The video is more of an "unplugged" version. See "Something for Kate - Rock the Casbah @ the Roxy" here on Youtube. BEST cover I have ever heard. They jam.

[mgchato]

You're probably into Fall Out Boy or Simple Plan. SFK = One of the best aussie bands EVER. Vandalizing... pfft. Take the pole out of your ass

[TheTollundMan]

Um, no I don't cunt.

[footy321]

i saw this when it was on telly...funkidori
