Clampdown (The Clash) Music Video

[LAURAM0822]

Just awsome!!!

[pebbs77]

oddly enough. i kinda like it. like i get it. u know. thx for including the lyrics. cuz that wat made it make sense

[flapdoodle64]

Good vid, but you should replace the newsreel footage with clips of US forces overseas and the riot cops spraying OWS and students. This song should be the US national anthem.

[lolttyl143]

alright so the other day, i brought up the topic of punk music somewhere on the internet. i named three of my favorite punk bands, the dead kennedys, the ramones, and the clash. then this dumbass comes back at me with a comment, "you dont know punk! the ramones and the clash arent punk!" *facepalm*

[jstrummer101]

[josuneta]

1 person is working for the clampdown

[starlost1957]

@grrd94 This song is about War & Factory work in U.K. / U.S.A. in 1950-1980's (Industrial Age).

[Rush6477]

@starlost1957 What if it is about the govt brainwashing us and giving us a police state?

Listen to the lyrics again.

[rock2756]

[sonoragenlove]

[935323]

Great work on this video. Really, really great.

[KingCast65]

@935323 Yep!

I blogged this MF -- I'm 46 and was a total Clash head in the 80s'. And Joy Division, etc. etc.

Cut and paste and Google to see how I used it in a Civil Rights context, peace.

Fantstic drumming.Topper was the best musician in the band, for sure.

[mosport78]

WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO NOW,that Joe is gone.RIP JOE

[thesunstartstoset]

completly agree with anyone who thinks this is the slyest drum beat ever

[scw1848]

Any film editors out there wanna remake this video with MENA footage? There's tons of video from the ground form Egypt, Libya, Yemen, Bahrain, Tunisia, Jordan, already on YouTube . . .

[jeepdad56]

is there any better drum beat?

[935323]

very well done!

[Grendel53]

"In these days of evil presidentes

Working for the clampdown,

But lately one or two has fully paid their due for working on the clampdown."

Indeed.

RIP, Joe.

Sdayonk, Oh man you saw the Clash in Detroit in 82, you lucky dog. I love the Clash and they are one of the only super groups that I didn't get a chance to see live. But the Clash songs live on today like Working For the Clamp Down. Peace.

[pgpapas]

One of my all-time favorites ever since the original release of London Calling...

Thanks!

[JCLII]

[ElliottBranded]

I saw them at the Masonic Temple in Detroit in August 1982 and this song brought down the house... That was the greatest moment in Rock 'n Roll I was ever blessed enough to witness...
