Surprisingly, no band had ever performed the Clash classic at San Diego's best known indierock club of the same name before Rookie Card set they lyrics from RTC to London Calling (listen close! 2 people have already commented that it's not RTC) at a 2003 San Diego Music Awards show. Let us know whatcha think. We do our own rockin'/country/indiepop thing (not so punk but it's hard to be in Strummer's league, kids) Check us out at http://www.rookiecardthemovie.com http://myspace.com/rookiecard

  • Tell us more how punkrock we ain't. Love it. "Punk music is NEVER sarcastic" is without question, the funniest thing I've ever seen written about punkrock. Congrats.

  • Dumbasses...honestly, Rock the Casbah? Go back to learning your open chords and quit covering classic songs that are WAY out of your league.

  • You're so right. We redid it. Is this better: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v­=m1cmid_JiGw&search=rock%20the­%20casbah

  • Do you got a smoke i can bum ?

  • that was just bad

  • i kno adam!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • If only there was a band who did Cure/Depeche Mode/Smiths covers sung to heavy metal classics! Now that would rule...or would it be blasphemous?!

  • Make no mistake about it - Joe Strummer would have laughed his ass off.

    I can't believe my fellow Clash fans are so uptight. That's pretty sad.

    Rookie Card are so full of heart I hired them for my wedding.

  • you guys fucking suck shit. if you wanna fucking play rock the casbah, play rock the casbah, not a half-assed attempt at london calling and just change the lyrics "London Calling" to "Rock the Casbah" this is not creative, it's just shit.

    "Rock The Casbah, yeah, I was there, too

    An' you know what they said? Well, some of it was true!"

    seriously....

  • Lame.

  • What a fucking liberty.

  • bingo. I totally get it & dig it!

  • What a total disgrace to the only band that matters!
