Ellen Foley was also in the movie Fatal Attraction. She was the wife of Michael Douglas' friend. The large lawyer buddy who they went bowling with and had over to their country home.

"Calaboo, caLAboo!" cried the crazed Negro, his face wild with excitement. A Chinaman nearby shouted "Kill roundeyes!" An Arab, hitherto silent, hiss menacingly.

The London-born Major, his face suddenly flushed crimson, muttered something about "all this being the work of some oily Jewboy in the trading post."

Said he: "My men should have razed the filthy place when we had the chance, but the dagoes at the CO in London would have raised holy hell!"

[BlondeRocknRoll]

oh my... how i love this, sounds so good ...thank fk for The Clash ..!

[beccita]

What does he say at 1:58? "So 'it it"?

[jimdemovie]

@beccita ...he sings "So hit it" as in hit the drums, the beat etc. but sings it as a Londoner and drops the "H" in hit....it then becomes "So 'it it". Great song.

[beccita]

@jimdemovie Thanks! Yeah, great song :)

[BrokenneckYgor]

this song was played at the funeral of my great-granddad, Ygor Stepanovich. He was, one might say, plagued with learning difficulties. He confused thje meaning of green and red signals and was killed by vehicle traffic crossing a busy intersection. It didn't help that he walked in the middle of the street. "YS" asl we called him, loved to listyen to Englische rock music altho' he did not understand the meaning of the words.

Sounds like they were trying to do Motown mixed with gospel mixed with British cheesiness. No biggie, they covered almost every other genre on Sandanista!.

[jimmyb8]

It blows a hole in the radio/when it hasn't sounded good all week

[ascotsmaninusa]

just googled and it's Ellen Foley,Micks girlfriend at the time.

[ascotsmaninusa]

[TheRockerhippie]

I love so much The clash

[paulflah]

maybe "aor" = advance on release

[uncasvirachi]

sublime, perfecta, la ostia the clash

[spexray]

how has there been so much stint about the death of a mental, race confused, monkey blowing pip squeek, (jackson), yet the death of one of the worlds truest talents went unheard(stummer). something unbalanced in this confused media lead world

[supermarcozzz]

Con esta canción. Con este ritmo y con los tonos de las voces. Ahi fue cuando me di cuenta de que The CLASH es lo mejor que escuche en mi vida.

With this song. With this pace and the tone of the voices. That's when I realized that The Clash is the best I heard in my life.

[CHO65]

still miss you joe...

[cdocasualty]

The singer is Ellen Foley, who was Mick's squeeze at the time. She had a couple of good albums. She's also the female part of Meatloaf's paradise by the dashboard light.

[krisraina]

[iluvflagunlaws]

No consumer trials ..., or AOR?

[paulflah]
