The Essential Clash - 10 - Rock The Casbah

[48dodea]

It is about a cheap wedding "F the cash bar" - do they have armadillos in Arabia?

[Stungun48]

Sharia, i would like to formally apologize for making you feel uncomfortable as well as upset, but i must advise you, if you please, to rock the casbah

[sivist420]

[secretname1000able]

Been stuck in my head for over a day straight :)))))))

[TracyAndersonFoxhunt]

Joe! You Rule!!

[dsdontsurf]

Seriously you are approving comments on your video? A CLASH video no less--just what they would love. tsk tsk.

[dsdontsurf]

.49 is always my favorite part...the Strummer shuffle. 

[iwantcompletecontrol]

@dsdontsurf Haha he does that after he finishes each verse

[johnny0g]

that guy really can't sing, but great song!

[soulfulcommandoetv]

Performing in front of the Texas oil rigs was classic!

[sheridanj13]

That armadillo is looking for the fuck it doesn't give.

[mountaindueable]

heard this on the radio yesterday n now cant stop listening love it anybody no sum other songs lik this

[HaleyBreAnne15]

my dad got me started listening to this and now i cant stop! i love this song!!

[824koumari]

Who the hell cares where it was filmed. They are making a point. it's just the same. Haha good luck to the Arabs and their palaces n oil. It's not England.

[DaveWollenberg]

Billboard's #52 hit of '83. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx! Have a blessed new year! RIP, Joe Strummer, nee, John Mellor.

[MrJuxtapoz2010]

The 1 person who disliked this video is probably from the casbah.

[CompleteCarnage99]

0:32 LOL

[AzZa2289]

FINALLY! Found the actual video and the proper song. I'm upset the music video is not on iTunes. :(

[1Happyevil]

1 DISLIKE!!?? That shit needs to be put at, "0 dislikes" QUICK, before I get mad. You would not like me when I get MAD? Let me explain to whom it may concern, if I find the prick dick eater that disliked, I WILL HAUNT them in "dislicking ways that can NOT be explained to the human mind. and on the death bed of the person of focus, I will eat there heart "once alone" and go back to there moms house to rape there father with MANY different cultures of DICKS, while there mother watches!... :D evil.

[jemandme34]

this song and aha "that on me" are the greatest songs of 80s

[ivartheboneless83]

DRUGS MADE THEM DO IT ... LOVE IT " MENTAL RETARDATION "?

[StoneFredFlint]

[73WCD]

Love This Song,Rock The Casbah!!! RIP Joe Strummer :-(

[TrueLiveChannel]

Music revolutionaries.



[FlatbushNyc033]

THE CLASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!

[UltimateLASER]

Every time I listen to this song, it gets stuck in my head for days.

[dmbanded]

fuckin great song and video

[8187daytheory]

The armadillo is my life!

[iwantcompletecontrol]

C'mon people, go check out the other Clash videos this person uploaded. Everyone that thinks of the Clash automatically thinks of Rock the Casbah (or perhaps Should I Stay or Should I Go?) but there's SO much more to them than that (not that those songs are bad or anything). I look at that sidebar and see the videos for Tommy Gun, Bankrobber, and The Call Up - which all happen to be some of my favorite Clash videos - and I think they need more views! So go on, WATCH THEM! :)

[CallsignGooser]

1 armadillo was run over by a partying Arab and Isralie.

[LittlePikachu]

That armadillo just does not give a fuck

[fudgeyum]

@LittlePikachu Damn straight!

[MrMinnesota1989]

@LittlePikachu greatist comment for this video ever.

[British0Pixie]

I have been looking EVERYWHERE for this love,

THANK YOU! for posting it. Fuckin' CLASH 4EVA!

Cheers! = ]

[Dablkwid0w2008]

THIS SONG GOES HARD IM SORRY

Reeeewind

[Dablkwid0w2008]

Rob da Cashbar! Rob Da Cashbar!

[JwahAmore31]

@Dablkwid0w2008 Haahaahaa, NO ONE in the states knew the proper lyrics to this classic, unless you had the bloody record, which I didn't. Sadly, like yourself, I too have had to make up lyrics to fill in the blanks, and over the years, I've aquired some rather interesting lyrics, as well, mate!

Cheers, love!

[MrBeatlesfan41]

it makes me sad cause this was topper's song and he's not even playing it

[garyp4205]

Awesome song, and the video was filmed in it's entirety in Austin, Texas!

[toolmasterson]

@garyp4205 holy crap i saw the capitol. never knew that wow

[trooper32556p]

I used to laugh at my brother when we heard this song. He thought they were saying " F*** the gas bar"

[TheWarlock03]

@trooper32556p Now that is funny

[phi929]

Not a rock fan, born in the 70's, grew up duing the birth of Mtv.....such excellent music. Still uncompared. Gave me chills when I listened to this song. Long live The Clash!!! Music with passion.

[brucegarlock]

the more I listen and interprut the lyrics, the more I like it. Meant to be cranked!!

[archiaskcommando]

Armadillo he don't like it! Rock the casbah, Rock the casbah!

[MrBigjeff7877]

I love this song and video goes all the way against religion and differences the guys in the video a Jew and Arab arr spitting in the face of their perspective beliefs sooooo punk rock and anti establishment

[21oily]

720P ROCKS! Thanks!

[hoopsonpoops]

The one guy who dislikes this video probably can't rock the Casbah

[CrawdaddyJoe]

3 minute crash course in Middle East politics.

True story.

[Ringolero]

Zero dislikes, well deserved.

[MotownMoJo64]

LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!!

[gatormclusky1]

1976 ? for real ? thought it was like '82

[iwantcompletecontrol]

@gatormclusky1 LOL 1976 in the description is clearly referring to the Copyright Act of 1976.

[JayRockXXI]

@The RealTalkRants

Uh. What influences exactly did this video have on the Resident Evil games?

[cscdigitalgraphics]

The more I hear it, the better it gets.

[NAYellowjackets]

looks like austin,tx



[DiskoWacko]

"...and now, everybody please rise for Libya's new national anthem"

[bluelouise13]

Have always loved this video....one of the first videos on original MTV....oh yeah, shot entirely in and around austin, tx......gotta love that!

[TheRealTalkRants]

I wish I could like this several times. I love this video, especially seeing the influence it had on some character design in Resident Evil games.

[justgabe9548]

@TheRealTalkRants

Oh really, I didn't know that.

Which ones and how?

I'm interested now :)

[JakeandElwoodBlues]

If only real life could be like this video where counterparts (Arabs and Jews) got along and had a good time! Great song!

[SiriusShaun]

This is not kosher!!

[lvmaniak]

lol @ "Fundamentally he can't take it" great song, love it!

[jazzminb]

One my most favorite groups (also liked big audio dynamite) as a teen. Still love them as an adult! :)

[inghambro]

LONG LIVE THE CLASH!!!!!!!!!!! RIP Joe Strummer...

[cloverfieldfan333]

Love this video, love The Clash, they are legendary gods of music, thanks for uploading a high quality version, love it!

[TheCarolinadawn77]

I remember they used this song as the "theme song" for the Persian Gulf War in 1991. I was 13. Wow, that's been awhile!

[iwantcompletecontrol]

@TheCarolinadawn77 Yeah, talk about a complete lack of understanding the lyrics and what The Clash stood for. Fucking idiots that think this has anything to do with killing and hatred. Joe Strummer reportedly wept at the news of this becoming a war theme song.

[blackspace007]

@iwantcompletecontrol I know!!! That is sad! I didn't know about Strummer weeping, wow, I would too. If anyone listens to the lyrics, they'll realize how innappropiate this is for WAR of all things. He's talking about those two peoples getting together, and not fighting. Listening to music, whalin and partying together.

[nevertolive]

Thanks for putting up this video. I've given it a good share of views!

[eastbayrider510]

[Darkblossomxx]

[Whitypage]

[Darkblossomxx]

@Whitypage no problem man, you are the only person who had the music video on here ( the original upload for this song got copyrighted) this is also good quality ,So i thank YOU.

[chadmerritt1]

@Darkblossomxx can't ever get too much Clash. I play London Calling (album) every fucking day.

[dannyoneal68]

@chadmerritt1 Me too! The Clash are one of the very few bands I never tire of.

[felipipi]

@Darkblossomxx Imposible, YouTube count visits by IP numbers, not times you "click". Other thing is you have 200 computers. =) Have a nice day.

[chadastanley]

@Darkblossomxx I had to download it with Real player lol one click of the button I had to play this song every day for a good feel and laugh =D

[MrImanfirdaus]

@Darkblossomxx asalamualikum form the casbah

[JaymzTaLLicA]
