Lyrics
Sing, Michael, sing
On the route of the nineteen bus
Hear them sayin'
How you get a rude and a reckless?
Don't you be so crude and feckless
You been drinking brew for breakfast
Rudie can't fail
We reply
I know that my life make you nervous
But I tell you that I can't live in service
Like the doctor who was born for a purpose
Rudie can't fail
I went to the market to realize my soul
What I need I just don't have
First they curse, then they press me till I hurt
We say Rudie can't fail
First you must cure your temper
Then you find a job in a paper
You need someone for a savior
Oh, Rudie can't fail
We reply
Now we get a rude and a reckless
We been seen lookin' cool an' speckless
We been drinking brew for breakfast
Rudie can't fail
I went to the market to realize my soul
'Cause what I need I just don't have
First they curse, then they press me till I hurt
Rudie can't fail
Okay! Okay!
So where you want to go today?
Hey boss man!
You're looking pretty smart
With your chicken skin suit
You think you're pretty hot
In the pork pie hat
Rudy can't fail
Rudy can't fail
Rudy can't fail
Rudy can't fail
Rudy can't fail
Rudy can't fail
Rudy can't fail
Rudy can't fail
Rudy can't fail
Rudy can't fail
Rudy can't fail
Rudy can't fail
Rudy can't fail
this was the first record i ever bought and i remember thinking it was a 'greatest hits' album, seeing as every track was an absolute hit.
I had the same thought! Also because it sounded quite deverse I suppose?
The album is number 8 on the Rolling Stone magazine top 500 albums of all time...
london calling is a very good album
haha yup
No filler there. American rock bands would do that. Get one or two hit tracks and put it on an album with filler crap music. So that a rock band might have a whole album of good music, but they spread that music out over several albums to make good money from loyal fans.
Hands down, the album I would want if I was stuck on an island.
I agree.
I would prefer a boat. That being said, I have been a Clash-fan since London Calling in 1980. And yes, I know your not stuck on an island if you have a (sail) boat.
Certainly top 10! "Songs in the Key of Life?"
Save room for Sandinista
And Sandinista
I love the way Joe says "Sing, Michael, sing!" at the beginning. Two different vocal styles that complemented each other wonderfully. 🙂
I've always loved the way their contrasting voices work so well together in this song, both separately and together. And the "sing, Michael, sing!" line is endearing, especially with how great Mick sounds singing the verses.
The best part is when Mick drops out of the song and Joe's emphasized *sigh*
In 82 in Petticoat Lane, Hackney.. no money, split with girlfriend, sat against a wall and heard this playing from a shop and everything seemed better, not great, but better.
Dude, I came here to say almost the same thing. This song always improves my mood. Not necessarily good, but always better.
....Can’t fail😉
@@Dwellerz Rudy don't fail. He's misspelled & just takes awhile. Sometimes a lifetime. But he don't fear & Rudy don't fail. He's on a train to nowhere but he always finds you. All of you.
Rudy's a smartass, just so you know, long practice but he doesn't mean nothing by it.
He'll get you laughing to your station.
Rudy don't fail. He don't.
Love comments like that, isn’t it strange how certain tunes take you back to a specific time
farken oarh brutha. !
cool dude!! lyrics for a song!
Gloria grande a los que lucharon en España contra el fascismo,saludos dese Barcelona
This is just brilliant always puts a smile on my fsce. Still sounds fresh and urgent in 2023. Just listen to that beat
just listened to the mighty mighty bosstones cover, then the clash, the former is tepid. this song is owned by the clash,
The Clash have made some of the best music in the history of Popular music
you're calling this pop?
@@user-ml1dl8zv2j All music not callled Jazz, Classical or Polka is Popular music
The Clash have made some of the best music in the history of the music
Aarohan Bordoloi this isn’t pop?
@@Goatchild90 depends on what you call pop. Its all buzzwords anyways but pop has been usually classified through history as a simple catchy premise with a typical song structure and more of a focus on making an enjoyable sound then necessarily making complex arrangements. Its why most songs only have a handful of fairly consonant chords and are in the key of C. Also there usually played in 4.
I’m only 18 years old, but the clash have been an extremely influential part of my life since i was born. Thank you dad, thank you.
My son is 19 and grew up with and loves the Clash !, glad you enjoy their music !
Same i'm 20
"Sing Michael sing." joe strummers most piece of prose
aajaj the same here
Don't mention it son.
Ps, is that sucker still treating you well?
Saw these guys open for The Who once. Doesn't really get any better than that.
Me too, in Pontiac MI at the (acoustically imperfect) Silverdome. Maybe 82 or 83. Wish'd Ida seen them more times
@@davidfrederickbaldner1393 I was at that show. Unfortunately it didn't seem like most of the audience appreciated The Clash. But I did. 😀
@@davidfrederickbaldner1393 I was down front Clash rules.. Eddie money was good too.. BUT The Who n Clash were the show.
Clash appeared on SNL during this tour, so inToronto we got Joe Jackson. Huge mistake. Who crowd wanted no part of him and someone hit his keyboardist with a bottle. Gone! Who appeared in less than 5 min, leaned into My Generation and Joe was forgotten
I saw the Combat Rock tour. Wish I had seen them when they were younger and angrier
The whole album is just brilliant and fun.
The best album of all time.
This group was on a different level at this time. They elevated every genre they touched. Truly special!
Ska and Punk combined to produce a brilliant sound
Agreed!!!!!
And reggae?
@@hopelesssituationwarrior6996 Of course Reggae, more than ska
It ain't ska. Specials, early Madness and early English Beat. Thats ska.
@@dougmedina4619 You need to listen to more tracks and a little closer :)
Desert island disc if there ever was one. 44 years later this album is still perfect
Drinking Brew for breakfast! 😆...
Done it a time or two...
Heard this album at 14 yrs. old as
a freshman in highschool...
Me too 😆...
We miss You so, Joe!!!!!! Love from Argentina!!!!!
Wayyyyy ahead of it's time... and still 1000×'s better then 99% of the trash on today's radio
99.99%
The Clash are one of the greatest and most versatile rock bands ever. They could pull of any style: rock/hard rock (London Calling, Tommy Gun), reggae rock (Guns of Brixton, Safe European Home), pop (Train in Vain, Lost in the Supermarket, Stay Free), punk (Career Opportunities, Janie Jones) and these are just some of the many amazing tracks they had. Amazing band, easily in my all time top 10.
The only band that matters.
Yeah, I would even rank them above The Stones
One of my favorite songs of all time.
All great bands have a 'purple patch'. A year or 18 months when everything they touch turns to gold. This is a band at the absolute peak of their effortless brilliance.
I heard Train in Vain once on the radio and spent the next two weeks in record stores looking for the album. Didnt know their name. Actually bought a fountry album with "Stand By Me" on it first. But after i found "London Calling" and listened to the whole album, nothing else mattered. You could have taken all of my other albums (The Cars, Blue Oyster Cult, etc.) and i wouldn't have cared. But if you tried to take this one we would be fighting. For the next couple of years this was the only cassette in my car. My younger brother Geoff and i would rock to it. The dash on his side was perfect for playing drums. We picked up this kid hitchhiking one day when Jimmy Jazz was playing. Kid looked at us funny. We laughed and continued singing along. Priceless memories. At the time no one else was listening to them. The in 1990, Rolling Stone had their best 100 albums of the 80s. And London Calling was number 1. Konda loved it. Kinda hated it. Because it was only us at the time.
Then Rock the Casbah and Should I Stay came out and everyone loved them.
Top to bottom, the best album of all time. No weakness. And great album cover - pure Clash
No weakness... except for koka kola?
@@hopelesssituationwarrior6996 Idk, I like song Koka-kola. It is my fourth favourite from the album:
1. Rudie Can't Fail.
2. Wrong `Em Boyo.
3. Jimmy Jazz.
4. Koka-Kola.
Except Jimmy Jazz
Great album, probably top 30 of all time. I think "Sandinista!" is their true masterpiece.
@@hopelesssituationwarrior6996 yeah there are some non-perfect songs in that last 3rd of the album. still great though.
It's physical impossible to not wobble your head side to side while hearing this song.
The power of Ska’/ reggae guitar
Truth. I caught myself doing it as I read your comment.
i was literally doing just that as i read this.
There was about year long period of my life when I would not stop listening to this album. It’s one of those albums were I truly have no idea how many times I’ve listened to it front to back.
When you're literally the opposite of a rude boy and you love this song anyway
Can’t fail
Topper’s drumming is just so f-ing good DUDE
Australia SEES
By far, best punk band and punk album ever.
The only band that matters
@@jackiethedetestator7342 How is this Post punk? This is literally in the ‘70s lol. This was when Punk was at its hight
The clash and the dead kennedys are the best punk bands
@@Homesick0.o 'Ever heard of Susie Sioux and the Banshees and The Ramones?
@@SihirbazTsar55 yeah, but my favorites are the clash and dead kennedys
How was this never a single!
strummer's never been in better voice.
I agree, but I'd actually say that Mick's parts sound even better on this song. Might be a personal opinion, but the way he sings the verses really suits the song.
London Calling and Sandinista are two of my all-time favorite albums.
I'm a rudie and I approve this message!
Okay, this is me being overly sentimental, but my family just added a tiny puppy named Ruby, and I can't stop myself from singing "Ruby Can't Fail" to her.
My dogs was called ruby also lol great song
But... is Rudy not ruby
That's it:
Ruby can't fail.
Rudie, not ruby lol... and it's about his drug doctor that would write him whatever prescriptions he wanted lol, elvis/prince/MJ style.. calling Dr. NICK!
That's awesome
J'ai découvert les clash à la fin des années 80 à un moment où j'avais besoin d'écouter ce genre de musique dure. Quand j'ai découvert London calling, j'ai été un peu réticent car je trouvé ça trop édulcoré pas assez dure mais , avec le temps, j'ai changé d'avis et pris la mesure de toute la qualité de cet album. Je l'écoute toujours aujourd'hui encore avec passion. Vraiment un grand album et Rudy est génial, entêtant...on peut fredonner ça toute la journée sans se lasser.
Wow still real.
Its like four days from another anniversary of losing Joe Strummer in our musical world.
I was blessed and so impressed when i saw him preform this cut with the Mescaleros.
He was supprting Global a Go Go ....house of blues Anaheim.
Amazing show. Joey Ramone had just passed i remeber and they covered Blitzkrieg Bop?
I got so wasted that night. Remeber like %95 of it all. Tymon Dogg was talking to young Punkx outside before the show and....drank a lot of free Patron after the show and tried to get a threesome together with my girl amd her gf.
Missed it by that much.
The tequila was from some schmuck buying my old lady and her gfs drinks .
Pirates life.
RIP Joe
Decidedly not a punky song, but I don't care! The Clash were so far above and beyond many of their fellow punk bands. I loved their music and still do. You cannot listen to this and be happy and perhaps even develop happy feet! Thank you Clash for making some of the best music one will ever hear!
how is this not a punk song? like, got the three chords, the fast bpm, socialist lyrics. Pretty fucking punk to me, bro.
I love it!
@@rmlfilms123 me, too!
dude, it's ska punk.
Punk is a mindset brother, one that I will never lose as I approach 60 years
January 1980, saw this album cover and it literally changed my life forever. I saw them at the Orpheum Theatre in Boston and the Cape Cod Coliseum in the early 80’s. Have not stopped listening. God bless you Joe Strummer and the rest of the gang. Blessings from Revere,Ma
Spread The Clash 'cause "The Future is Unwritten" ✊
Now, sing, Michael, sing
On the route of the nineteen bus
We hear them sayin'
How you get a rude and a reckless?
Don't you be so crude and feckless
You been drinking brew for breakfast
Rudie can't fail (no, no)
We reply
I know that my life make you nervous
But I tell you I can't live in service
Like the doctor who was born for a purpose
Rudie can't fail (ok)
I went to the market to realize my soul
What I need I just don't have (oh no)
First they curse, then they press me 'til I hurt
They say, Rudie can't fail
First you must cure your temper
Then find a job in a paper
You need someone for a savior
Rudie can't fail
We reply
Now we get a rude and a reckless
To be seen lookin' cool an' speckless
And drinking brew for breakfast
Rudie can't fail (no, no, no)
I went to the market to realize my soul
'Cause what I need I just don't have
First they curse, then they press me 'til I hurt
Rudie can't fail
Okay! Okay!
So where you want to go today?
Hey, boss man!
You're looking pretty smart
(Chicken skin suit) with your chicken skin suit
You think you're pretty hot
(Pork pie hat) In the pork pie hat
Rudie can't fail
Rudie can't fail
Rudie can't fail

Rudie can't fail
Rudie can't fail
Rudie can't fail
Rudie can't fail
Rudie can't fail
Rudie can't fail
Rudie can't fail
Rudie can't fail
Best album ever. Best band ever. Best lyrics ever. The only band that matters. See the newspaper article from 1977 " If you dont like THE CLASH, you dont like rock and roll" A night of pure energy. Cheers from Argentina.
Oh, god. Be quiet.
he ain't wrong mate.
This song ends is SO. MUCH. JOY.
This song, Spanish Bombs, Wrong "Em Boyo and Clampdown are 4 of the 5 best Clash songs and ALL on this album. AMAZING
Alex Csura Definitely brilliant, true classics;; i saw them live on "Know Your Rights Tour"🎯👍🚀🎧
Alex Csura Just out of curiosity, what's the fifth?
Probably "White Riot" off their debut album. Their grittier sound was what originally grabbed me and I was a fan from there on out. Cheers
Alex Csura Yes, all gr8 songs; Few bands combined genres of ska Punk New Wave and Rock so smoothly +woven with social/ political messages that helped thousands of kids & 20-somethings to learn about real stuff going down in the world, while still digging music in the same spirit of original 60s folk-rock activists- sadly the 70s combination of fun and intelligent activism had dropped away because of the takeover of bubble gum corporate//weak radio; what's important is that a lot of punk bands had the right idea/ right attitude but most kids didn't understand what they were rebelling against, beyond a general vague sense, yet thanks to bands like The Clash, alotta folks woke up--while digging gr8 times along the way. 📻🎯🍸🎹🍺🎸
you forgot i'm not down and guns of brixton, always on this album. 2 masterpieces
Still brilliant right now in a virus afflicted, surreal 2020. RIP Joe, badly missed.
cheers to that still in fucking quarantine
A think the great man would have had plenty to say about these lying bastards an the there fake virus. We 'Revolution,Rock'
You are so right man
@@steviebunch6861 if it’s so fake, how are people dying?
Even better in Jan 2023
My favorite albumn of all time
Clash "London Calling" def. in Top 5 albums of all time, along with Talking Heads "77" and either of first 3 Ramones albums
Ok boomer
Ramones are overrated af
My top five would be Beatles Rubber soul, talking heads 77’, clash London calling, Rolling Stones aftermath, and by the throat eyedea & abilities
my top five albums of all time have changed over the years; the only constants are London Calling and Ziggy Stardust
@@strummer856 if the ramones not to London, Punk nothing..
いまだにこのイントロ聞くだけでテンションが上がる
I'm still excited just to hear this intro
No-one gets you moving w/an open hi-hat flourish like Topper Headon, and those fills after each verse are the peak of that.
I used to think that Rudie Can't Fail had reggae elements, but that was just because reggae figured prominently in so many of their other songs like White Man in Hammersmith Palais. This song here, by far the biggest influence is the rhythmic strokes of the great Bo Diddley. No question about it. Rudie Can't Fail's momma was 50's rock n' roll.
Topper did a great job here 👏👏
Rudie can't fail 👊
La banda que realmente importa, hasta el día de hoy!
This is one of the best songs ever...by the best band ever.
The only band that matters
Another favorite of mine by The Clash
One of the best albums ever
Such a simple but effective riff. Nothing but love for this tune and album
One of the TOP TEN BEST Rock albums ever made. Get a copy of this album, play it loud and you will not be able to sit still.
THE ONLY BAND THAT MATTERS
When you hear anyone say the word, "feckless," you start singing about brew for...
... breakfast.
We are still going to the markert to realize our souls. What a great rhythm! Mick Jones has a great way to make his guitar lines sound like horns on this album. What I love about the Clash, is a lot of their songs are so positive, like this one and "I’m Down". So much better than the miserablism of much of the Gen X rock I grew up with.
drinking brew for breakfast!
My fav Clash song!
Great vocal by Mick.
This song never gets old brings back so many memories.....!!!!
It's a work of genius. Lurches from 50s rock n roll to Paul Simon's Graceland via Jamaica and Brixton.
an amazing band. in a division all to themselves
I love how hardcore the album cover is
Despite the album having sweet songs like this
I worked for a record wholesaler in the early 1980's. Some of my co-workers were punk rockers. I was more old school rock but this album what can you say? Brilliant.
The only band that mattered and still dose
Thank you, everybody in the Clash!
Knife fights and death, real rude boys never die
CLASH.... THE ONLY BAND THAT MATTERS
What a CATCHY little ditty.
All that raw energy, now with added horns. Perfect.
[Intro - Joe Strummer]
Sing, Michael, sing
On the route of the 19 Bus
We hear them sayin'
[Verse 1 - Mick Jones]
How you get so rude and'a reckless?
Don't you be so crude and'a feckless
You been drinkin' brew for breakfast
Rudie can't fail, no, no
(We reply)
I know that my life makes you nervous
But I tell you that I can't live in service
Like the doctor whose born for a purpose
Rudie can't fail
[Chorus - Jones & Strummer]
(Ok)
I went to the market to realize (my soul)
What I need (I just don't have) (Oh no)
First they curse, then they press me 'til I hurt
Rudie can't fail
[Verse 2 - Mick Jones]
First you must cure your temper
Then find a job in a paper
You need someone for a savior
Rudie can't fail
(We reply)
Now we get a'rude and a'reckless
To been seen looking cool and speckless
An' drinking brew for breakfast
Rudie can't fail (oh no)
[Chorus]
I went to the market to realize (my soul)
'Cause what I need (I just don't have) (Don't have)
First they curse, then they press me 'til I hurt
Rudie can't fail
[Bridge - Joe Strummer]
Ok, ok
So where you wanna go today?
Hey boss man, huh, yeah
So you're looking pretty smart (Chicken skin suit) with a chicken skin suit
You think you're pretty hot (Pork pie hat) in your pork pie hat
[Outro]
Rudie can't fail (x13)
Probably greatest album ever 😊
I don't compare art. Certainly a creative masterpiece.
Spettacolo! ❤🎉🤭
I have always loved this song by the Clash
good song, one of the best from London Calling
My favorite Clash song.
Top three all-time Clash songs.
Reminds me of my Irish I.C.E. racing buddy I met the night I went 2000 miles to hit the wall after 4 laps, I miss ya Shawn Hurley, we were good friends and I'll never forget you, any time I hear the Clash especially, Godspeed brother, I know you made it!
Punk, rap, reggae.
That baseline !
This band never fails
This Album is THE ROCK!!!
Uplifting this song is.
what a song!!!!
I remember buying this album & being so excited about my 1st punk record & getting home & putting it on & thinking “What is this shit?!? This isn’t punk!” & I was right....it was leaps & bounds beyond just punk,calling the Clash a punk band is like calling Nirvana a punk band,sure they started out that for sure but they eventually transcended that
EXACTLYYYYY!!!! but nirvana is waaaay more punk than the clash
one of my favorite albums ♡🙂

Every single song on this album is just great.
Untouchable still
Riddle can’t fail massive game!
Même encore aujourd'hui the clash reste tjrs aussi bon à écouter!!
Plus que jamais j écoute les clash qu en on entends les conneries de musique rap!
Saw them at the Asbury Park Convention Center several nights in a row. Best days of my life!❤️
I saw them in 82 at jfk stadium, Philly. They were part of The Who's farewell tour. Hooters, Clash, Santana and The Who. In that order.
I absolutely love this song! A real good company during the Covid quarantine 😅
Sei in quarantena di omicron? In bocca al lupo,ciao da Savona.
Yayyy thank you Joe Strummer!
Yoooo.....Yea Rudie can't fail!
