Yeah, they were very interested in early hip hop. They listen to it on local radio with a boombox when they visit NYC in the "Westway to the World" doc. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Clash:_Westway_to_the_World
Rip Jorge Castro .U gave me this album....Sandinista.I still play...❤❤❤❤love The Clash.Dancing to this at punk clubs....Roseland...all the 80s clubs in Manhattan.....the best yrs ever!!!!!❤❤❤😘🔥🔥🔥🔥💃💃💃💃
My friends!! I’m happy to see so many people are still digging this! I found it on a 12inch of Radio Clash, another crazy song!!!! These dudes were definitely a gumbo of sounds. Punk, reggae, ska, pop, dub...they were delicious!!! RIP Joe Strummer
The Clash fue una banda que no se encasillo en el punk si no probó otros estilos como el reggae, el funk, el rockabilly, jazz, pop y un largo etc que lo hacen una de las bandas mas versátiles de su generación.
@@weatheranddarkness Huh? In 2021, Communism rules the USA and Canada. We CANNOT hit the town & drink our wages....the local governments & CDC "officials" have closed the small businesses and pubs. See?
@@OhJaniceWhyOhWhy no I do not. Pubs being closed due to covid has quite literally ZERO to do with communism. I would also add that Joe was not saying it's a good thing. He was saying that the stress of working leads people to waste their paycheques on booze.
j ai 58 ans...pour moi SANDANISTA EST CERTAINEMENT un des plus grands albums rocks de tous les temps a écouter d urgence...cette époque est malheureusement révolue..j ai eu la chance de la vivre....mon seul regret est de n avoir jamais vu les clash en live....amen.........paris france mars 2024
J'ai eu la chance de voir les Pogues avec Joe Strummer à Montréal autour de 1987; voir est un bien grand mot, j'étais complètement bourré et je ne me souviens plus de rien. ☺
Clash at the disco ❤ Dundee concert in 1985 , Clash go to local disco after ! 🎵 DJ sees them & plays White Riot immediately! Everyone on the dance floor with Joe & Mick jumping around! 🤩 I saw them on first tour in late 1970's with Suicide as support 👍🏻 Disco was later , 3 Scottish venues. What a great band , great personalities , all of them. Sandinista was a surprise to many, I always liked it. Great band , great memories.🐱♏☯️🏴🦅
That’s awesome. But Mick wasn’t in the band anymore in ‘85 so I’m not sure how you saw him jumping around then. Maybe it was ‘83?? Wish I could have seen them and met them, but I wasn’t around yet back then. 🥲
I'm not british though from a younger generation but live in Scotland and there's a plaque in a bar they played in the city back in the 80s. I didn't know the Suicide opened for them but unconsciously i like them too😅 Your memory is amazing, thanks for sharing
Thanks, isn't that a nice coincidence !@@Soviet87 Saw a few of their concerts, now I read comment above makes me doubt the year was 1985. I doubt it was their first tour with Suicide when we travelled to Dundee, so maybe 1983 as they were well known by the Dundee disco night. Curious about the bar with the plaque & where that is? Such memories, young punk rocker Suzy at 16years old 😁 Early punk days where me & girlfriends would go out, then take our trousers off, revealing stockings & torn Grandad shirts! It was all in good fun & a great community. All those great clubs & venues, many are gone now. I'm happy you enjoyed my memories & you liked Suicide too! I consider myself lucky to have been here in those days, so many concerts & gigs. Really should dig out my photo albums & put them on a film , carried a camera all the time. 🙂
❤️⭐️ les meilleurs j'ai eu la chance de les voir en concert , mémorable ❤️ j'aime encore c'est toujours un plaisir de lles écouter .... si seulemnt ils pouvaient refaire une tournée....
Awesome!!! Haven't heard this in way, way too long. I remember when this album came out, I thought hell, London Calling was 2 LPs, and now 3? I admired 'em for the sheer audacity of that.
As a young student in the early 80-is I worked extra in an international hamburger joint. On a boring evening shift with few customers, we used to dance to this one in the kitchen. Hardly anything you will experience nowadays. Epic song to say the least

what a glorious time Managua in 1980 was. Living next to Daniel Ortega and the soldiers who got him into power having just liberated Nicaragua from the US-puppet Somoza. Held one of their AK 47's as a child and saluted them everyday from my doorstep... The Clash were one of the few voices for the Sandinistas. They remained steadfast. They knew US propaganda when they saw it.
That bass line💯
👏👏👏
I love the bassist for this band, the dude rocks balls
And what about the drummer? Fantastic!
That bass line is not Simonon. He was off being in a movie when the album Sandinista was being recorded. That bass sound is from the bassist of The Knuckleheads (I think that's the name).
And yes, Topper Headon was fantastic on the drums.

Hands down The Clash was and is one of the best bands of all time
Absolutely
They're still the only band that matters!
The Edge called them the best rock band apart from the Stones.
Completely
The lyrics of many Clash songs are timeless but this one just hits different. This should be the anthem of workers everywhere.

Amazing
2023 at my door and this song is so NOW
It is literally referencing the actual anthem of workers everywhere, The Communist Manifesto with the lyrics
"Don't you ever stop long enough to start?

Joe Strummer the greatest voice on earth! What a voice!
Legendary.. how many bands blend Punk ska reggae rock New Wave,,. All with intelligent political awareness,, well perhaps only one The Clash🎯🍸🎸🍺🚀🎧
Raga, don't forget Raga.
I could convince someone that the magnificent seven is from this year i bet
Smash Mouth. No joke.
this song was inspired by hip hop according to the clash, i mean the guy is rapping
Yeah, they were very interested in early hip hop. They listen to it on local
radio with a boombox when they visit NYC in the "Westway to the World" doc.

La meilleure epoque de ma vie ❤❤❤😢😢😢😢❤❤
A day isnt complete without listening to The Clash.
I agree!
Lots of memorable lines from The Clash, and many are in this song, but “car in a fridge, the fridge in the car” is my favorite of all time
i could swing to that groove in repeat 24 hours non stop
A MAGNIFICIENT album........ 40 years ago and still.

They were one of a kind, weren't they? Cheers my friend :)
Dont forget Joes rapping on this! Groundbreaker
Amen
You have Mick Jones to thank for the sound of The Clash
My favorite part is when someone shouts “Cheeseboiger!”.
Joe shouts it 😆👍👍
Dat joe
My favorite part is the whole damn song
Yess
When it came out it used to remind me of Belushi on SNL ‘ cheeseboiger,cheeseboiger,cheeseboiger’lol
My favorite song from The Clash
Truly a masterpiece!
The magnificent bass line
Can't get enough of this cut. Extraordinary!
Nothing changes. 40 years later still the most relevant lyrics of all time. The only band that matters
It's good music
Timeless hit, 40 years after, still a great emotion
One of the most underrated song of the Clash
Fantastic song, one of the very best of the Clash~!
This song is more relevant now then when it was released. Good job Paul 👏
The Clash fue una banda que no se encasillo en el punk si no probó otros estilos como el reggae, el funk, el rockabilly, jazz, pop y un largo etc que lo hacen una de las bandas mas versátiles de su generación.
Public image limited tambien
Punky Clash vs. Funky Clash-----love them BOTH! The Clash were musical innovators...
This is one of those songs that speaks all our souls that work and waste away
damn that bass is funky
Fearless approach to doing different genres of music…that what makes the Clash the best
I never heard this song until today (9-3-2020) and I love THE CLASH. This is truly a masterpiece. It's so powerful
good for you enjoy
Cheeseboiga
Curious how that happened.
Wonder what other joys await.
Yea…it prob was more popular on urban radio
youve been missing out. check out guns of brixton if u havent heard it
"Its no good for man to work in cages, hits town he drinks his wages"

@@weatheranddarkness Covid = Communism. Open your eyes.....
The bass👌🥇👑
its 2019 now still one of the best genius song ever written and that bass line swipe all pop song in 2019..
The only song that matters 😁
One of the best intros EVER
Cuanta energía producen las canciones de «THE CLASH».....¡DAN GANAS DE HACER DE TODO, MENOS TRABAJAR......!!...¡¡QUE BUEN TEMA....!!
Best bass line of rock!
Digging that bass line.
The clash is a explosion of human rage and sensibility. One of my favorites ever
A Magnificent Album!

40 years of Sandinista.

Here for national disco day 7/2/24. Hard to believe The Clash went there, but they pulled it off. as cool as it gets.

The links and homage to early hip hop ( or at that time) . Great track. Two genre's of music both progressive and both their own culture.
Mick Jones really went for the Hip Hop influences with Big Audio Dynmaite 😊
❤️⭐️ les meilleurs j'ai eu la chance de les voir en concert , mémorable ❤️ j'aime encore c'est toujours un plaisir de lles écouter .... si seulemnt ils pouvaient refaire une tournée....
The clash! ce groupe restera toujours le meilleur croup punk!

GROOVY.
I never get tired of listening and dancing to this!! I remember the NYC dance clubs would play this and get the crowd jumping!!
My Heart goes out to The Clash.🥰
Whenever I want to procrastinate from my work I listen to this ……. Love the clash
And then there's the "Clampdown"!
Under influence of just newborn hip-hop from USA... What a bloody song, The Clash never did better than this baby.
That 4:44 guitar riff is something else
i liked
Sounds great. Almost like something The Rolling Stones would have done in the late seventies.
My favorite part

True dat they were break dancing to this .
Part of my walking track. 🚶♂️ 💙😎

For some reason the album sounds better now than it did back then. Decades before it's time!

When he shouted "CHEZEE BOIGA!" I felt that
def in the top 5 basslines of all time
Ring! Ring! It's 7:00 A.M.!
Move y'self to go again
Cold water in the face
Brings you back to this awful place
Knuckle merchants and you bankers, too
Must get up an' learn those rules
Weather man and the crazy chief
One says sun and one says sleet
A.M., the F.M. the P.M. too
Churning out that boogaloo
Gets you up and gets you out
But how long can you keep it up?
Gimme Honda, Gimme Sony
So cheap and real phony
Hong Kong dollars and Indian cents
English pounds and Eskimo pence
You lot! What?
Don't stop! Give it all you got!
You lot! What?
Don't stop! Yeah!
Working for a rise, better my station
Take my baby to sophistication
She's seen the ads, she thinks it's nice
Better work hard - I seen the price
Never mind that it's time for the bus
We got to work - an' you're one of us
Clocks go slow in a place of work
Minutes drag and the hours jerk
"When can I tell 'em wot I do?
In a second, maaan...oright Chuck!"
Wave bub-bub-bub-bye to the boss
It's our profit, it's his loss
But anyway lunch bells ring
Take one hour and do your thanng!
Cheeesboiger!
What do we have for entertainment?
Cops kickin' Gypsies on the pavement
Now the news - snap to attention!
The lunar landing of the dentist convention
Italian mobster shoots a lobster
Seafood restaurant gets out of hand
A car in the fridge
Or a fridge in the car?
Like cowboys do - in T.V. land
You lot! What? Don't stop. Huh?
So get back to work an' sweat some more
The sun will sink an' we'll get out the door
It's no good for man to work in cages
Hits the town, he drinks his wages
You're frettin', you're sweatin'
But did you notice you ain't gettin'?
Don't you ever stop long enough to start?
To take your car outta that gear
Don't you ever stop long enough to start?
To get your car outta that gear
