I was listening to some internet radio and the Clash comes on... Rock The Casba, inspired by the ban on Western music in the Middle East after the 1979 Islamic Revolution. The lyrics describe an Arab King's efforts to stop his population from listening to rock music, and ordering his military's jet fighters to bomb any people in violation of the ban. Lyrics: Now the king told the boogie men You have to let that raga drop The oil down the desert way Has been shakin' to the top The sheik he drove his Cadillac He went a' cruisnin' down the ville The muezzin was a' standing On the radiator grille [Chorus] The shareef don't like it Rockin' the Casbah Rock the Casbah The shareef don't like it Rockin' the Casbah Rock the Casbah By order of the prophet We ban that boogie sound Degenerate the faithful With that crazy Casbah sound But the Bedouin they brought out The electric camel drum The local guitar picker Got his guitar picking thumb As soon as the shareef Had cleared the square They began to wail [Chorus] Now over at the temple Oh! They really pack 'em in The in crowd say it's cool To dig this chanting thing But as the wind changed direction The temple band took five The crowd caught a wiff Of that crazy Casbah jive [Chorus] The king called up his jet fighters He said you better earn your pay Drop your bombs between the minarets Down the Casbah way As soon as the shareef was Chauffeured outta there The jet pilots tuned to The cockpit radio blare As soon as the shareef was Outta their hair The jet pilots wailed [Chorus] He thinks it's not kosher Fundamentally he can't take it. You know he really hates it. Video at https://youtu.be/bJ9r8LMU9bQ Do you think this musical depiction of life in the Middle East would be a hit if it were released today? Or would the Libtards boycott it?
