(Rock lyrics I)Rock the Casbah-The Clash

[dddontreal]

How can you not like this song?

[jummallamma]

i loved the hitsugaya's at the beginning

[TheKillerCub]

It's not 'Shareef' it's 'Sharia', the islamic code of personal and public observed behaviors.

[ZAFARCAKE]

@TheKillerCub No it's shareef, based on a guy who banned rock music in Iran.

[skyler1586]

@Daninreallife89

Isn't it, "stop the catbox?"

[LegendOfNikkonolasco]

Rock the shazbot. Rock the shazbot.

[Suetakefan]

@LegendOfNikkonolasco Hi! I'm the greatest...Ooops, SHAZBOT!

[TheBlackJoe24]

ROCK THE CASBAH !!!!!!!!

[fundamentalz424]

I had that game, Jump Supers Stars

[unclesalts]

The Pub 1982.....a motion picture in my mind, complete in 5-d (with sense of smell and heat).

[BellahBluesky]

We analyzed this song in AP World History b/c we're studying Islam, and I think it actually says "sha'ria (sp?) don't like it", meaning the Muslim code of behavior.

[ragingnipples]

What does it matter if it's 'punk' or 'rock'? Just enjoy the music.

[iyanasan2]

THINKS IT'S NOT KOSHER !!!!!

[JacobthaSupaPimp]

Thumbs up for Hitsugaya battle in the beggining!

[BNSF9250]

[brianmartin1225]

im loving hitsugaya XD

[pixie49751]

I thought this song used to go ''sherry,oh i like it,buckin dancefloor'' it took me a long time to find the song. thank goodness i have a great memory ;)

[Riiye]

@pixie49751 LOL!! That made me laugh! I used to think it said "cherie won't like it, rocking the dancefloor". I was a bit disappointed with the real lyrics though, I prefer to "hear" my own.

[looprloop]

@emmaroseish XD

[Riiye]

@OMFGgennypotter Yeah, this song always makes me think my phone is ringing for some reason.

[kalacnat]

this was so ahead of it's time.

[josehartTV]

[josehartTV]

@emmaroseish yes

[LightningLazer96]

does anyone know where the hell the beep came from?

[mattwweraw89]

@aly12345purple

they can be considered as punk rock

[aly12345purple]

@mattwweraw89 Look it up on google they r mainly known as a punk band. Top 20

[Curiotip]

@mattwweraw89 Besides ... punk is rock music ...(category of rock, like grunge rock or psychedelic rock etc)

[BLong114]

@aly12345purple I've always considered them ska. As do most people I know that listen to them.

[katiemadillx]

@aly12345purple the clash are punk.

[aly12345purple]

@katiemadillx yeah i kno that is wat i was telling @mattwweraw89

[AKAjocey]

@aly12345purple Punk is a sub-genre of Rock, so yes, The Clash is a rock band.

[aly12345purple]

@AKAjocey watever, ive had this discussion with other people. Im done with this conversation. (eye roll)

\

[AKAjocey]

@aly12345purple do whatever you want... just getting the facts straight *eye roll*

[aly12345purple]

@AKAjocey ok, im just sayin thats what most articles say about The Clash. I understand now how its rock. So I pretty much was wrong, thank you for bringing that to my attention. :)

[94Cioppa]

@aly12345purple saying the Clash is not rock is like saying coca cola isnt soda

[peanutbutterhotdog12]

@94Cioppa it's funny that you say that, as i am drinking coca cola as i am reading your comment.

[Hydroman774]

@aly12345purple Punk is conciderd a type of Rock so I guess it could be conciderd both Rock or Punk.

[TheLuscious]

@aly12345purple They may be a punk band but the word Rock is in the title and the song has elements of punk and rock in it. This song is very prominent on my ipod touch.

[TheLuscious]

@aly12345purple This song is classified as combat rock. You might wanna brush up on the song's history.

[bukowski1950]

@aly12345purple The Clash were MUCH MORE than punk.Actually,they were punk in the early fase,immediately when Joe left The 101'ers untill arround Sandinista album.But they stayed punk considering credos,untill the end.Even when Joe formed The Mescaleros,they were punk.Punk is not just music style,punk is way of thinking.Against all power,doing "work" in DIY mode,respecting everybodys way,thats punk.And Joe was punk all his life.

[thetwistedstreaks]

rip joe strummer

[AkemiMoriboshi]

@fizz142020 It's their song,so I guess they'd change it....if they wanted to.

[monsonsfinest4evr3]

[MeanMeal9]

[cutemedli7]

@MeanMeal9 no casbah is an arab thing

[TheMrBouley]

@MeanMeal9 casbah is a kinda fortress or citadel in arabic countries

[Emimilykity]

@Emimilykity o nvm XD

sharif- tribe protector

[AlfieEngland100]

Wow i've been looking for this track for ages, finally ive found it

Thanks for uploading it

[5rey67trhtrhtry65765]

its NOT a cellphone ring it's a deliberately programmed part of the track, the clash were just THAT deep and intricate with their music. it's part of the rhythm, check your ears 1:51

[roar765]

@5rey67trhtrhtry65765 yea, definitely. Cell phones weren't even widespread when this song was made. They were also the size of bricks.

[GoregeousLey]

Why does this music makes me want to go to a bar, jump on the counter, and rock it?

[missadamlambertx]

oh what a song

[robfergusonjr]

I wasn't singin'

[scouser19872008]

PUNK = STRUMMER = LEGEND

[shingaki777]

LOVE this song! Thx 4 postin! Sharia don't liek it... Rock the casbah! Rock the casbah!

[allrza]

obama should be forced to listen to this 24/7

[kgarofalo71]

@allrza I am going to ask you a huge favor, and in Joe's honor I will not say it as forcefully as I would like too... please, shut the fuck up. This song is about finding any escape you can, even in something as simple as music from tyrrany and oppression. If you think America, under the presidency of Obama there is tyrrany and oppression then you havent opened your eyes to the world. Joe Strummer wept when he heard "Rock the Casbah" was written on the side of a bomb in the first Iraq war

[allrza]

@kgarofalo71 nonononono....obama needs to listen to this 24/7 because he is a closet muslim. get it?

[kgarofalo71]

@allrza wow... you are best served having a battle of wits with a stone. Have a great evening.

[allrza]

@kgarofalo71 here...i can sense that you arent gonna get me unless i explain in detail. TURKEY DOESNT BELONG TO ISLAM, THEY RAPED THEIR WAY IN TO IT. ISRAEL DOESNT BELONG TO ISLAM, THEY RAPED THEIR WAY IN TO IT. ALL OF NORTH AFRICA DOESNT BELONG TO ISLAM, THEY RAPED THEIR WAY IN TO IT. THE MIDDLE EAST DOESNT BELONG TO ISLAM, THEY'VE RAPED IT. THE QURAN TAUGHT THEM TO RAPE AND KILL EVERYTHING IN THE ABOVE MENTIONED COUNTRIES. GET A CLUE BUD. PEACE.

[kgarofalo71]

@allrza I am not going to have a theological debate with you because you are very narrow minded. If you were open minded, you would see that in the religion that we both share, the book of psalms taught us to beat the heads of our enemies into the rocks and kill the babies of our enemies. No land belongs to any religion, borders are man made for political purposes, not religious. How do you think the early settlers took North America from the Indians. Relax, enjoy the music.

[kgarofalo71]

@kgarofalo71 plus, as far as your argument goes... I think you are leaving out the entire "Crusades", where Christians killed 100's of thousands of Muslims simply because they believes in a different God than you or I.

[allrza]

@kgarofalo71 when Christians kill someone, they ARENT following the bible. when muslims kill someone, they ARE following the quran. go study american history and messianic prophecy within the book of psalms. david, as king of israel, fortold the entire life of the messiah 1500 years before it ever happened. because the messiah is the king of israel baby.

[allrza]

@kgarofalo71 plus, when you rape and enslave over half a continent (ex. islam with africa), it doesnt speak very well toward your beliefs. but whatever. peace dude. (there is a difference between things done in the spirit of TRUE RELIGION and things done out of HUMAN FLESH DESIRES.)

[allrza]

@kgarofalo71 .....what that means is, every example you have given me was done by americans out of their own desires. the examples ive given you from arabs was done out of their TRUE AND PURE RELIGION. YOU ARE TAKING THE W-O-R-S-T ASPECTS OF AMERICAN HISTORY AND COMPARING THEM TO FUNDAMENTAL BASIC ISLAM. GET IT??

[MrJuxtapoz2010]

@kgarofalo71  hahahahahahahahahahahahahhahah­ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah­ahahahahahahahahahahahhahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahh­ahahahahahahahahahahahahhahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahhahahahahahahahahahahhaha­hahahahhahahahahahahahahahahah­ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah­ahahahah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[GamersSerbiaCinema]

TONY!!!

[astrid5000]

I love this song.It is so much fun singing with it!!!

[StruttinAmphy]

Apparently 9 people are the Sharif.

[xMyCh3micalR0manc3X]

This was banned in Iraq...

[LeavingOnAJetPlanex]

Lock the taskbar ;-)

[CONOFRAC]

wtf was that at the start?

[alisharifi3]

It's not the shareef doesn't like it, it's sharia don't like it...this song was written after they had banned music (esp disco) from Iran

[stevezombie99]

@alisharifi3 Crap, nothing to do with iran, or the Sharia and @ those saying it was banned in iran/ iraq, it wasn't, but it was banned by a lot of American radio stations after 9 11.

[alisharifi3]

@stevezombie99 uuurm yes it was! music (especially disco) WAS banned in iran after the islamic revolution.. 'crap' is not a comeback especially when its not sourced

[naruthenarcicist]

In the beginning did I see Hitsugaya? My favorite chibi?

[mattwweraw89]

@naruthenarcicist yep thats my old intro

[dogmonkey1210]

@naruthenarcicist the best anime everr <3

[BOBBYSOX86]

Budgie vs Schaefer

[takingdaggers]

other lyrics I read say sharia, not shareef, which makes sense, sharia law, I always think he' singing shareem

[emailme23]

Its about the devil the shareef as put is sharif the sharif stand for god and by order of the prophet we band that boogie sound they said we need to degenarte the faithfull me turn people away from god then later here targets the church the temple were there all packed in the in crowd meaning hollywood saids its good the winnd change meaning spirit the evil spirit enter in them thats why he saids they got a wiff of that crazy casbah sound you now how they use music to controll you

[wildcuttycup]

[mattybo512]

[19ilovejustin]

[NLR884evr]

Great song and a wonderful video to accompany said song.

[Asofiro]

this might be the best punk song ever

[SuperVida15]

clash = punk .joe strummer = class

[jeykl6]

shariff is an arab term for police/law , and 'sharia dont like it' does refer to sharia law as set in the qu'ran, allah koruson brothers

[takingdaggers]

@jeykl6 now I see
