Overpowered by funk - The Clash - Video New York 81

[prfu1222]

The best time period to live in NYC. And the Clash must have seen that. And turned around and represented it in their music. As much as they are a product of British music. They are also a product of NYC music at its best.

[funkmike]

That guy with the boombox at 0:52 is a dead ringer for Vondopolous (fans of The Wire will know what I'm talking about).

[alastairjr40]

Punk Funk

[davymgaunt]

The best fucking rock and roll band EVER.

[MKPesich]

Even Clash played Funk,...

[Swaggs303]

why upload only 2/3rds of song?

[rp61wasinnocentok]

@Swaggs303

This is as much as you see and hear from the film it's taken from.

[nadionadianona]

no one in this video understand that THEY ARE IN FRONT OF THE CLASH, damned

[jsterrapin]

1 person was not overpowered by funk.

[diskochimp]

n.b. Lady Gaga at 0:46.

[HoseaCider]

[22mcdman]

[iceguyty]

The CLASH Ruled the Air-waves at one day and age ............! one of my clash favs!

[styleajet3]

The Clash: The Only Band that Matters. They were one of the few bands that stood for something other than marketing themselves for money. Music with intergity, honesty, and soul. R.I.P Joe Strummer you were the man. I do agree with Khultan that the young girl with the red hooded sweatshirt was dancing with much soul and heart. Killer band and video.

[pobaldy66]

by no means do i get a chance to listen to everything, but there are few artists that reach the social and political insight that joe strummer lyrically and poetically reached in sadinista and combat rock. this is the lyrics of generations of philosophy and politics.

[sviscous]

Haha I loveeee this!

[Khultan]

NYC, man!!! : )

[rhythmcorp]

the only band that matters? Live like a Clash and you feel better.

[PBGSURFER65]

...don't you love our western ways...apparently they don't.Great tune,great video.**5**.

[Khultan]

@PBGSURFER65 You're sad.

[PBGSURFER65]

@Khultan Don't you have a car bomb to go detonate?

[Khultan]

@PBGSURFER65 Hmm....how bland.

[PBGSURFER65]

@Khultan ...and that was before I looked at your channel.You're a good breakdancer.I'm east coast surfer trash,let me get my channel up and I invite you to fire away!

[Khultan]

@PBGSURFER65 ? That was my crew and various members breaking. I'm more the graff member but I am training to break, but come now, enough of this, are we going to continue to lob provocative exchanges at each other or chill?

[PBGSURFER65]

@Khultan NO WAY! If we're going off the judges score cards,I dropped you in the first 40 seconds of round 1.You gotta at least give me one back....I only had your handle (see Smokey and the Bandit)to work with.And I think I nailed it judging from the looks of your bros in the video.Hell, I'm barkin' away at being a surfer,there's gotta be something there you can use.

[Khultan]

@PBGSURFER65 No, I'm not gonna do it. I'm an idiot for even responding to you on my most favorite band, you zealot. Forget it, I'm not gonna do it.

[bluebeatboy2001]

ve li vedreste gli U2 o i coldpaly andare alle giostre in mezzo alla gente qualsiasi.. solo i CLASH potevano essere sempre i più GRANDI pur rimanendo in mezzo a noi comuni mortali...

[rainbowsandwar]

Man, this video reminds me of my childhood. I can smell it, I think.

[DEOGITO]

Good stuff Stylist !! I rolled with the Clash back then & never saw this before - Keep up the good work & greetings and Best Wishes from San Francisco - CHEERS

[cheeseleaflove]

love the end of this song it is so freaking amazing... The Clash is amazing

[thundertower]

love the varieties of music genres on combat rock and only the clash could pull it off

[ishcarly]

Joe's impersonator lmao in first part..

[afimearts]

CHUUNE

[HorusRising]

CHOOON!!!

[aaleejaandraa14]

I dont know why, but this song reminds me ''Voluez Vous'' of ABBA! Anyway, I love The Clash (:

[1xcrosswordx1]

the clash was quite possibly the most versatile of the punk bands.

[katgrrrl]

Dang! Coney Island STILL looks the same, lol! Love it!

[ShadowMakerOfMasks]

It's incredibly hard to believe these guys started out punk! Haha! Love all of their music! Great stuff. 5/5!

[Vincenteloco]

GROOOO....VEY !

[Rstroke101]

I FUCKEN LOVE THIS BAND!!!!!

[PartyBoy64]

One thing can beat the clash. an' that one thing is drugs. for fucks sake.

[MasterExploder11]

who gave that a thumbs down? Drugs are what ultimately beat the clash. (or topper at least)

[TheCondemnedProphet]

Im pretty sure they just broke up.

[26viision]

Audio is bad. Where's Futura's rap? I'm not so much for all of their anti- police politics/anarchy but all other Clash stuff I liked. Is that possible? Paul, Joe, Mick were my favorites in that order. I'm happy for Paul's and Mick's latter success.

Ah, New York City before it became a tourist trap ala Disney World. Certainly the most interesting place in the world. Love graffiti art. Hate chicken-scratch tagging you see today. Sorry just don't call that art. I like genuine graffiti ART.

[bettyloutumor]

hi you retarded cunt. i thought "comedians" were supposed to be funny, not sad little cunts. :)

[TheCondemnedProphet]

Vandalism is perhaps a more respectable definition?

[d4m7s8]

Too bad the sound's muffled.

[Khultan]

That young girl in the red has more soul and is really dancing more so than I see with people in the teens, they just dance shaking their asses. That little girl has got soul and heart.

[Buggy702]

@Khultan word up!!!

[Khultan]

@Buggy702 Whatupski, man!! Ha ha ha : )

[TheModdy]

hey madriot-I just thought the same!

[PVTSolis]

Amazing song and awesome video.

[arseth13]

woah, ive never seen this before!! whered you find it?

thanks for posting it!

[enmicasa44]

the clash by far is one of the best bands in history.. always inovating nd besides they played cause they wanted toonot to get all filled with profits.. with no racial or cultural diferences the are punk rock at it´s best

[madriot1977]

I wanna ride a bumper car together with Mick!!!!!!

[lbcfunkaholic]

always loved the clash- love the old school video (the electro horses), BUT- the best part - BY FAR- is that little girl getting down- those moves were so in tune- it was funny as hell- the two brothers were funny and funky as well

[Khultan]

Yeah-I saw that. Props!

[KINGd0mCUM]

[cacheindifilms]

DAAAAAAAAAMN the clash it's still the ONLY BAND THAT MATTERS!!!

[germanasselborn]

@cacheindifilms es la ultima materia en la carrera de un melomano, the clash! la banda fundamental.

resumiendo a la mínima expresión toda la música y llevándola mas allá.

Is the last subject in the career of a music lover, the clash! fundamental band.
