Die Geschichte geht in der Version in der ich sie kenne so:Schiptar schrieb:Das zeigt aber nur die Blödheit der US-amerikanischen Militärs und Konservativen. THE CLASH waren bestimmt nicht für so eine Scheiße...Grobar schrieb:""Rock the Casbah", one of the most popular songs by The Clash, was released on their 1982 album Combat Rock."
"The song became an unofficial anthem for U.S. forces during the first Gulf War largely on the basis of the line about dropping "bombs between the minarets"."
"In 2006, the conservative National Review released their list of the top 50 "Conservative Rock Songs", with "Rock the Casbah" at #2"

Aber schließlich versuchte bereits Ende der 70er Jahre die extrem rechte National Front den Song "White Riot" von THE CLASH für ihre rassistische Propaganda zu vereinnahmen...
Kein Vergleich zum Thema Turbofolk und s.o.
Einer von the Clash ist als Diplomatensohn in Iran aufgewachsen und hat dort seine erste Chuck Berry Platte gekauft.
Dann kam die Islamische Revolution und alles war verboten.
Als er von den Repressalien erfuhr die im Iran herschten hat ein schoenes Lied geschrieben.
Hier der Text:
Quelle MUSIKVIDEONow 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 dont like it
Rockin the casbah
Rock the casbah
The shareef dont 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[/nb]
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 its 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 its not kosher
Fundamentally he cant take it.
You know he really hates it.
