  • It's "Sharif"....not sharia. Listen again.

  • sharia don't like it.....see as a little girl when this came out I would have never known what that meant...it was like I just sang the words but not really understanding what I was singing, but now it makes sense.

  • Fucking Hell there's a phone ringing in the song round minute 2:00...

  • @85antoniosalazar had you never noticed that before????

  • can't wait for the next mtv hit

  • im 12 and what is this?

  • @iacrimonyi An overused meme.

  • SEMPLICEMTE FANTASTICI...CAZZO CHE TEMPI

  • @retroscream punk rock

  • best song ever - applies to life so so so so well - and what has to be done ;)

  • Where can i buy that hat the bassist is wearing?!

    Or what's the style called??

    Thanksss

  • FUCK DE KERSTMAN! FUCK DE KERSTMAN!

  • @sethash540 I'm really laughing my head of - that's what it sounds like, i'll never listen to this song the same way! (i speak dutch)

  • Can anyone else hear a faint noise like a mobile ringing?

  • yeah. um. I'll stick with White Riot.

  • @RonnyVain89 que?

  • @JennySpooks it's not a cellphone. it's a video game, i believe..

  • it's always interesting to watch this video because Mick looks quite ridiculous haha but it's also a shame to know that Topper wasn't there anymore..for the song that he created.. and Mick was going to get kicked out too..

  • It's really sad how this song was twisted into an anthem for anti-Muslim, anti-foreign sentiments in the early 90s. It's meant to be a celebration of all different cultures with its eclectic mix of instruments.

  • I can't believe this song is banned from some radio stations (depending on what state you live in)

  • @AtariMan76 Do you remember why?

  • @CyborgNinja7 I heard it had something to do with 9/11. Around that time they also banned Cat Stevens because of his Islamic faith

  • @AtariMan76 On top of that, in some states they had explicit stickers on every Cat Stevens album because of that. Like at that time if you bought one of his cds in Alabama, they'd card you and have your ass hauled off to jail

  • NO RABBI AND SHEIKS ARE NOT BEST FRIENDS, DUMBASS!

  • @newlibrianangel76 we know tHAT, its a joke dumbass

  • Good God, Joe had such vision. It really hurts me to know this guy is gone from us. But in fact, it is apropos for him to leave us to ourselves. Many just did not get punk---I'm not talking about fucking "New Wave".

  • @swatshake111 No.

  • @swatshake111 wtf is that anyway?

  • @nana78748 its an annual vid on youtube that announces a game for every category like best action best strategy best FPS etc..

  • @swatshake111 Oh know i get it, thanks :)

  • unbelievable how they saw what was coming.......

  • R.I.P Joe Strummer....Bad Ass Song, Always...

  • at like 2:00 can anyone hear a cell phone

  • "The Clash needs to broker peace in the middle east"

    That'd be nice maybe if they can introduce some punk boogie dancing in middle east politics who knows...

  • anyone else hear a phone ringing from 2:07 on?

  • @minkybananas I believe its the old Mattel Electronics Football Game.

  • I need to get myself an armadillo.

  • what's a casbah?

  • Grew up listening to this song, Love it!

  • 2:15-2:20 <3 :D

  • I Never thought Rock The Casbah has a low budget music video~

  • shut the fuck up if you dont understand this song it came out before you were you born so go suck on your moms tittie you little shit

  • My favorite part the Strummer shuffle right there at 0:47.

  • @dsdontsurf YES!!!!!! :D

  • an all time classic

  • clash, the only band that matters

  • the coolest band ever

  • @solano1292 lol I just typed those exact words on another Clash video

  • @solano1292 amen

  • yes...there is a phone ringing

  • @mom232000 you mean there's a Casio watch chiming :)

  • @mom232000 LOL

  • love love love this song! one of my all time favorites!!!

  • The Sheriff made 4 accounts to dislike this.

  • Has this ever been more needed, or more true. Lets really rock the kasbah. Thanks joe, we need your leadership now more than ever. So many of my brothers are sleeping in apathy or stupid enough to thing " it will never happen to me because I dont do religion"" Nor do I. Doesnt stop the nutters pissing me off by buying our my local council and reversing good decisions to bad (Harrow, Middlesex UK). Probably the worst and most corrupt UK council in that anyone can buy them in any currency.

  • JOE FUCKING STRUMMER!

  • Makes me proud to be British. Something that is pretty fucking rare these days.

  • ANYONE NOTICE HOW JUICY MY P...IS???

  • omgitsmusicmonster.tumblr.com for music updates and reviews:)

  • why dont you

  • Poseurs 

  • @LaughingatpainUSAway What do you listen to?

  • @GravCatt: Over 30,000 Songs. Ranging from many genres. From beethoven to chopin, to tupac to bob dylan, bad religion, dick dale,to the sex pistols to stevie wonder. The list goes on. Over 1,000 artists.

    I really love many different styles but songs with a message are wonderful. Seen many people in concert and met them to. Mostly I listen to my heart and soul to know what I want to listen to.

  • "Rock the Casbah" is probably playing in the first level of Hell.

  • Congrats to the most racist video I've seen in a while.

  • @piasladic It's not a racist video dickhead! This is a great song n a great clip. It's the truth the cheikh and the rabbi are the best friends in the world. They have the oil money and share the same value "money, money n some more money". They are rich and they don't care who's watching and have the world as their game field. If u stirr up your head out of your ass sometimes and watch the news you might understand. Those ppl are one and a same person. Sorry for the rough loss of your virginity

  • @Hanelore81 That's quite an analysis there pal! Stereotypical costuming to make a point, yes, racism no. Methinks it's just great to see a muslim and a jew partying and having fun together. The Clash needs to broker peace in the middle east! lol

  • @Hanelore81 nailed it

  • Go watch the US Festival footage of this same song & you will truly see how bad this "band" SUCK ASS live!!! Hahaha

  • Thinks its not kosher

  • i noticed the cell phone too. whats up with that?

  • Eargasm @ 2:08

  • 2 people are totally deaf

  • Lock the taskbar! Lock the taskbar!

  • That's Austin Tejas the old Palmer Auditorium. Phukin A!!!

  • rak dı kezban

  • What's with the Armadillo? They don't live in the Middle East?

  • @briantravelman Armadillos are in Texas too!

  • And like billy Idol's "dancing with myself" , It's a good thing they recorded it. It had been so long since the village people had a hit, and the gay community needed something to dance to! and the sound that you hear is not a pager or cell phone...... it's an old school Electronic video game! They had just made them Solid State and transistorized! It's a darn good thing they did too!, Can you imagine how big the Hernia you'd get lugging around A VACUUM TUBE MODEL!

  • Nice!

  • they towed me cadillac!!!

  • equally as awesome as billy idol's "dancing with myself" music video

  • Overplayed but still a great song. 

  • Middle east- thorn in everyones flesh!!!

  • cLICK AND PASTE IN THE BROWRESER THE url SEND TO EVERY EMAIL TO EVERY mUSLUM. sEND TO eGYPT, pAKISTAN, iRAN, yEMEN, pALISTANIENIN, sYRIA, lIBYA, AND ESPECIALLY sAUDI WHO IS ON NOTICE FOR OUR HIGH GAS PRICES. NO SHARIA LAW AND CHEAP GAS THEN WE LEAVE THEM ALONE.

  • SEND THIS O EVERY MUSLUM YOU KNOW. DRUMMER OF THE CLASH WAS SO BRILLIANT TO KNOW WE MUST SEND THIS TO EVERY MUSLUM EVEN BACKIN THE 80'S. MAYBE THIS SONG WILL WAKE THE CAVE PEOPLE MUSLUMS!!!!

  • @JacksSonKenny You just don't get it do ya?! Are u American or something????!

  • @JacksSonKenny What the fuck are you talking about? I think it's past your bedtime.

  • btw this vid and song is how we will solve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict HERE'S TO JOE AND THE CLASH!

  • @trekkian88 it's pricks like u who want to destroy the arab world why cant u just keep your republican partison pro-conflict opinions to yourself

  • Comment removed

  • @NightPredator888 fuck up fag

  • The world can't get along because the Arabs are such fucking pricks.

  • yay armadillos have finally extended their reach to the middle east :D

  • hell been along time since ive seen this video ahh back when mtv was mtv

  • Bart: Oh hey, you're back! Did you rock the casbah?

    Homer: Bart! Yes...

    The Simpsons.

  • Who's the prick that gave this song a thumbs down! F OFF!

  • This makes me want to get an armadillo. :D

  • Joe, you are my hero. 

  • They said that Joe cried when he found out that somone put this music to video of Saddam getting his ass kicked in D-Storm. Pussy move for a great rocker. Man-up dude "You light up my life" just didn't fit the adrenaline of the moment.

    anyhow RIP JS

  • Nice

  • At 1:55 and a few times after, theres a bleeping sound of the first few notes of "Dixie". It sounds like an early Nokia ringtone. Anyone know the story behind this. Always been interested.

  • Was living in Austin, TX when they came to town & filmed this video. Still recognize the buildings/locations. The F-4s used to fly right over my apartment in South Austin. Wasn't smart enough to recognize how good they were and didn't go to the concert, stupid me. Thanks for posting.

  • @ThEthUnDErWiLLrOLL Hahaha....It *does* sound like a cell phone ringing. When I was a teen, I used to always think my pager was going off when I heard that partof the song!

    (yes, I grew up in a time when we used pagers and pay phones, because cell phones were the size of a brick, and ridiculously expensive! LOL)

  • @ThEthUnDErWiLLrOLL Yes, I heard it play a Dixie lick!

  • @ThEthUnDErWiLLrOLL It's the version of the song, it's slightly different than other versions.

  • @ThEthUnDErWiLLrOLL Thats now a cell phone, thats a sound effect of the song!

  • @ThEthUnDErWiLLrOLL The Clash actually invented the cellphone in 1978

  • @ThEthUnDErWiLLrOLL In 1982 that wasn't a cell phone sound yet.

  • @ThEthUnDErWiLLrOLL its a watch

  • @ThEthUnDErWiLLrOLL omg i thought i got a messed up download... i deleted it from my ipod and was looking for a different one lol

  • @nikolas2778 A casbah is a type of fortress that was used by the different rulers, mainly in Africa, for protection of their land. However, in this song the term is used in today's new meaning of the word, which practically means a part of a city/ a small town. In this song, it refers to the casbah in Nablus which is in the west bank of the river Jordan. Today the Palestinian authority.

  • Sharif don't like it, lock the task bar. LMFAO

  • All times classic punk music!

  • 14/88 from greece

  • @SSkostas13

    writing sth like this under the Clash video is an unquestionable sign of your utter stupidity. You better go jerk off to some Hitler speeches, you nazi scum.

  • soulwax remix? :P

  • Amazing! The Clash is the best!

  • lol @ the cellphone

  • Rockn your a** off.... LOL :)

  • Western music was banned by the religious leaders (by order of the prophet we ban that boogie sound). The "In" crowd says the sound is cool and threw a concert. the The King ordered his pilots to bomb the music listeners The pilots refused and instead tuned the radios to the concert and began to "wail"

  • great !!!

  • rock the casbah, rockea la alcazaba jajaja no da en spanish.

  • Totally in love with this song!! I love the clash! Im a great fan!

    Just one little thing: i think that jude and arab people dont drink alcohol.
