the shariiiiiiiiif dont' like it! so somehow the clash song 'rock the casbah' pops up into my head, and like many a random invading tune, i realized i had no idea what the hell they're saying, quoting the first line then following with gibberish for the next three lines before returning to "rock the casbah, rock the casbah!", so i looked it up. here are the lyrics, and according to wikipedia, here's what they mean:The song was inspired by the banning of rock music in Iran under Ayatollah Khomeini. The song gives a fictitious account of the ban being defied by the population who proceed to "rock the casbah", causing the King to order jet fighters to bomb the revellers. The pilots ignore the orders, and instead play rock music on their cockpit radios. so now you know. |
