Rock the Casbah - The Clash {lyrics}

[CelticCross777]

It sounds like they're using a word other than "lock" or "rock" that rhymes but has a little more shocking meaning and starts with an "F"..........

[studioMACH4]

[ali000852]

amazing song i love it

[22mountainman]

A great song. I hope one day more people are liberated permanently from the clutches of Islam, which is a flimsy pretext for brutality, masquerading as a viable religion.

[KoldKillaMr]

@22mountainman Marshallah bro!!!!!! < Four lions, but yes I think this country does need to wake up, that terrorist Abu Qatada should be deported right away from this country, he wines about his rights? what about the rights of other people's lives at stake!

[Dragonmike2690]

If anyone is wondering, "gzzygrl1" said: "I'm a 16 year old girl and no i don't like Bieber Gaga or Beyonce.. I go for The Clash, Ramones, Sex Pistols and Green Day. Do I get ridiculed for it..? Yes. I say fuck them! ;) "

[EvelynOM]

As a Jew, I love it that they say "kosher" in the song, especially because kosher means "Blessed by a Rabbi"

[harrisKiss]

@EvelynOM and haven't you seen the official video clip? in the first chorus the muslim sheik enters a car driven by a jew.

[TheHaymaker89]

[Bo678]

A bunch of Muslims?? Did you see the video of the Muslim and Jew skanking away and partying together? It's about racial unity through punk rock music.

[HighFlyingZombie]

If I went many drugs that sense maybe?

[misspinkpunkykat]

I used to think they were saying "lock the cat box".

[RKLuffy88]

@misspinkpunkykat I remember on a radio commercial for Napster (I think), what you said in question was the subject of a commercial in which two idiots thought the song was called "Lock the Cashbox" and "Stop the Catbox" LOL! Great song though, just as relevant today.

[ChelseaWeridHemmings]

[TheShicks77]

[824koumari]

The lyrics from this punk band where quite profound in the day. Now it's just heard and taken as a joke. Don't forget this song is 25+ years old. I just thank joe strummer for recognizing and having the balls to write a son like this with these lyrics and that crazy Kasbah beat rocks my soul still today..

[kratosbelmont]

lol pretty sweet where i live we have a hooka lounge called the Casbah cafe

[dadismatt]

the Shareef liked it, then they took an arrow to the knee :/

[decideforyourself1]

[argebarse]

It's not about a bunch of muslims, it's about religious societies and their tendency to ban fun.

[hmmheystranger]

@argebarse It definitely has something to do with Arab society...

[purpleravenstar]

@hmmheystranger It's about those damn Ayatollahs.

[CelestialSwag]

@argebarse That doesn't sound nearly as funny.

[Evol4loving]

ya come one if u are listening to the clash and dont realize the things they stood for go frickin educate urself they were anti-war and anti-racism. god i wish i was born back then and couldve seen them in concert!! i love the clash!! :D

[TheJasonJasonson]

This song is in no way racist. It's about a ruler named Shareef who first order of business in Iran was to ban rock music. Casbah was the fortress outside some Arab cities.

[TheGoldenChile]

wow. for everyone claiming racism, give some fucking proof.

[RealDeadToady]

I get the intend behind the song. I'd be fucking pissed off when ignorance causes music to be banned wherever. And The Clash is an awesome band. I do think that however it is unfair to tar everyone in the same brush. Like just cuz some Shareef was idiotic enough to ban rock music, doesnt mean all Arabs are oil guzzling morons. And im not an arab, you dont have to be one to think feel bad for negative stereotyping.

[AmorgosBoston1]

Yep, must agree IS racist... I enjoyed all people(s) when the world was a better place. Jonathan

[AmorgosBoston1]

From an Englishman lost in America ... Thankyou for the memories of when

I served in Gibralter and often visited North Africa. Thank you the people of Morroco for making my life bearable. Jonathan

[RealDeadToady]

Ok, am I the only one that thinks that this song is really fucking offensive? i used to love it when i was younger, but now the meaning is just really really racist.
