It's about a kings pilots refusing orders to bomb a village after hearing their music over the jet fighters radio. Strummer showed respect to Muslims with several lines in this song. He grew up a foreign service officers' son in Ankara, Cairo and later, Mexico City.

The song was a protest against Iran Islamic Republic banning Western Music. Joe Strummer, the lead singer, wanted to show the music suppose to bring people together - as we can see a Jew and an Arab getting along with each other. It also looks at the Western monetary system - look at 2:44 to 2:48 - The Arab Supply Gasoline, American retails it and the Israeli pays over the odds for it. The song was used by the Coalition Forces in the first desert war - to which a USAF pilot written on the side of the bomb "we're are going to "Rock The Casbah". When Joe Strummer heard that he was upset that his song would be involved with destruction.

This was one of the mainstream hooks in punk music. I remember that it was inclined to the wars in the middle east. I just liked how the sheikh and the orthodox jew were found to groove to the same music.

My dad told me when he was in the marine corps in the 80s, they use to play this song in their barracks. He had a buddy that was in Lebanon for a time during the Lebanon Civil War and introduced this song to him.

The Clash started out as a punk band but by this time moved into a post punk / new wave sound and incorporated a lot of different elements in their sound. Great band, I was more into the London Calling era.

Videos in the 80s were new, and a lot of them just slapped together, some were a lot more elaborate, produced, big meanings etc. It's entertainment.

Us Brits didn’t ban music we had the Beatles or are you talking about the Middle East

“I have no idea what he’s talking about.” Neither did we, but it was a great song anyway. 😂 You should listen to the lyrics version (so you know what the song’s about) and then you should watch this absolutely hilarious fan-video that incorporates all of our misheard lyrics while pairing them up with equally hilarious images. Extremely funny, especially for those of us who grew up with this song but were singing it so wrong all of that time. 😂 Link to funny misheard lyrics version: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ZrSHeJah3ZqUj5s.html

Love your style, fella! As a Brit, I'm supposed to worship The Clash - I'm kinda agnostic about them, although they did a few real bangers, of which this is the best. Fantastic bassline!

Agnostic about the clash... You should be deported immediately..😁 Just kidding mucker... But I do think Londons calling is one of the most important albums from our little rock ..🤘

When this came out, the president of the USA was playing cowboy while the world's lust for oil and religion all came together in the form of various minor wars in the desert. Part of this video shows how it's easy for Arabs and Israelis to get along, with the help of Rock and Roll. Its commentary on how silly the world gets. It's also great to see so much of 80s Austin, Texas in that video. That venue they played at is now part of a large public park. The Posse East is still there. Sadly, Winchell's donuts is gone. IMHO, this particular song is the very definition of Funk, with a strong framework of Disco, for a combination that is magical.

Basically, bringing different cultures together to enjoy the same music...or music in general.

@charlottebailey1024 3 жыл бұрын

Visually it leads me to think it is a commentary on the Middle East situation at that time, the price of oil, the rich (iran?) sheik being chauffeured by a Jewish man (Israel) and an American (cowboy) paying the price. 🥴 Musically, "it has a good beat and you can dance to it"- lol😎

the song was written by the Clash's drummer Topper (except for the lyrics). Ironically he's not in the video, he had been ousted from the band for drug use when this song became a hit.

I am sure there’s a song by Will Smith, from late 90’s/early 00’s, that used sample of the piano part of ‘Rock the Casbah’…

Step 1: listen to whatever the f*ck Joe Strummer has got to say. Step 2: never trust *anyone* who's wearing a suit, or who offers you a deal "that's good for all parties involved". Step 3: think for your damn self and never, ever shut up when someone in a suit tells you to shut up.

Hate to disappoint everyone, but in their own words in an interview this song was written about a recording session when their manager walked into the studio. They were playing this “riff”, just messing around and having a blast creating this vibe. They dubbed the manager “sherif” and kicked him out of the studio. He said “stop with this casbah sound and make a rock album”. The song was written about that incident which makes it even more brilliant. Manager was fired I think

It was their rehired manager Bernie Rhodes saying that they should ditch the eclectic sound of their previous album Sandinista! and go back for basics. Thankfully they didn’t as that had been done before. But like all great artists Strummer developed and added to this initial inadvertent inspiration from Rhodes like Mick Jones had down with ‘Complete Control’ to include a whole lot of other stuff like western music being banned in the Middle East. As much as they were anti-militarism The Clash were socially libertarian like all punks should be. So the song is about a lot more than Rhodes saying ‘you'll have to let that raga drop’!

This is about middle east oil . Different religions get on for profit. Sadly, please say I'm wrong, the USA used this during the Kuwait invasion by Iraq , for oil fields. I felt embarrassed to play it..
