The Clash - Groovy Times [Single]

[sbconstant]

Hey groovy!

[lestoil]

It's "The king of early evening ITV...", but your lyric seems more logical.

By the way, that second acoustic guitar Mick brings in at the second half is absolute genius. It's the rare occasion that musicians create a true and authentic magical moment, and that solo fits that bill.

[tinny108]

The KIng of all evenings is ITV... Groovy times for evermore.

[DevoDevoT]

I go all around on U-tube. I love a lot of different music. But guess where I always come back to ? Yes, the only band that matters - The Clash

[touchmadown]

Power pop?! That's rubbish!

[Swaggs303]

is this when Topper came in and it all truly clicked?

[jamaral81]

The clash seem like their light years ahead of when they recorded song like londons burning when they cut Groovy Times. It was like, just two years apart. Great power pop, awsome song

[RDBeatnik]

THIS IS THE GREATEST EP OF ALL TIME. I'M USING CAPS BECAUSE IT'S THE GREATEST EP OF ALL TIME.

[brickmaster01]

"They were picking up the dead, out of the broken glass."

[Vixie2585]

This is my favourite Clash song. Its mint. The guitar through the verses behind Strummers voice is amazing.

[noelreverberation]

only songle from this album .very good!!

[bluenail90]

See - through shields are walled across the way that you came in

[DevoDevoT]

I had this on a little 45 rpm record? I think 'Gates of the West' was on the other side. Where did it come from?

[skinnytinny]

@DevoDevoT

Hello, Was your single a white label? Mine came inside the sleeve of their first album. I didn't realise at the time it was a US import, no wonder it cost about ten bloody quid in 1980.

Greetings from England.

[unclemort1960]

@DevoDevoT this as originally on `the cost of living` EP -`west``groovy` `i fought the law` and re-working of `capital radio``-released as a double single

[kairiley123]

[ABITTERSWEETGIRL]

[chinasherry1961]

my favorite Clash song. This was available for free in the US on 45rpm it was packaged together with the first Clash album. Joes voice and Micks gutiar is excellent

[punkuru69]

[awilddewgongappears]

@crapple009 cobain, do you know nothin about your music history buddy. he was THE musician of the 90s

[crapple009]

@awilddewgongappears ;-)

[Nigelxman]

This is such a great fucking song. Mick's solo is so simple yet exquisitely powerful. Oh and Joe's lyrics. :-)

[rosasparx]

it's universal

[wirebead]

vintage strummer & a highly underated song. think it can be found on black market clash which has quite a few gems like this one.

[Salmon1BWFC]

The song is about football violence Strummer said so himself

[markrskinner]

There's no apostrophe in fans.

[TheModdy]

this song´s no´bou´football violence!, check ou´the lyrics man...

[nancyspungen92]

quanti ricordi...=(

[bluenail90]

I think it's about bloody friday, Northern Ireland.

[squirkypants]

It's about football violence.

[macmillan420]

my anthem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ilovedogs2008]

i love this song, especially, the drums. the rattling to the snare

[contr1410]

what does he mean when he sings about Black Saturday?

what are lyrics about?

[squirkypants]

Football violence.

[sbritt1994]

when u say football u mean american pig skin football or european football aka soccor

[squirkypants]

Soccer!! Never say that word in front of an Englishman. It's most definitely Football, as in a round ball played with the feet, not the egg shaped,carried in the hands game played by the Americans. In the 70's-80's most football matches in England 'kicked off' at 3pm on a Saturday and there was frequently violence on the streets and football terraces between rival fan's of the teams that were playing. In other words football hooliganism.

[sbritt1994]

damn it then they soccer

[rankinroger1]

Bought this in Woolies in 1978 (should have nicked it really), best fucking EP ever! RIP Joe

[Johnoco66]

Can't have done, it didn't come out until 1979!! ;-)

[rankinroger1]

Yes you are right, my mind is getting dim(mer) with age, still best EP ever!

[Johnoco66]

We all have that problem pal, if it wasn't for smart arses on YT we would never remember anything! :)

[nanusetentaysiete]
