LMAO!

lmfao lmfao lmfao
'Tinkled on his jeat fighters'
'Catholic Radio bear'
'Found the mental retard naked'
lmfao lmfao lmfao

You know, it's a shame because the lyrics are so good and witty, but apparently very few people understand them.

Also, this particular balence used on the song and the fact that it was mentioned in the video reminds me of the 'Rock the Cash Bar' remix. It's bloody brilliant, because it puts the beautiful bass line right out there, and starts of with the awesome tribal drum solo rhythm. I don't know who else has heard it, but I love it. Usually I don't like remixed Clash songs, but 'Rock the Casbah' is too good a dance song to not do it, and it is done so very well.

OMG! Why do I seem to be the only person who understands them?! Cheese
Seriously, my mishearings are really minor things like 'a' instead of 'the' or something.

Reminds me of a conversation I had with my sister today, recalling a time when she thought that concentration camps were where Germans sent people to think. lmfao

I'm sure she wasn't the only person to ever think that though.
I was going to say that, but I figured almost all of the Clash thread regulars would feel the same way. lmfao lmfao

Instead of "They said release Remote Control" I heard "They say if you lose control".
Instead of "This is Joe public speaking" I heard "This is your prophet speaking."

"The hillsides ring with ... village people"

"White riot, I'm on a riot, white riot, to riot on my own"

And one from Train In Vain, but I can't remember what now.

for a while i thought it was"German rebellion needs some money." ok but really--later he mentions Hitler, so really hearing German didn't come outta nowhere.

now that i'm thinking of it: who speaks/sings the intro to "Clampdown"? I always thought it was Paul tbh, but i read it was Joe. i guess it could be him with a different voice Think

In "Lost in the Supermarket," it sounds like, "I've got my giant dick. This could take hours" but in fact he says, "I've got my giant hit (gigantic?) discotech album."
