Rock the Casbah - the Clash

[link] Few songs from the 80s got as overplayed as this one.  But few have withstood time as well as  this song. It's bold, irreverent, quirky (that digital watch dixie thing), just a great pastiche of a bunch of cultural things that were rattling around at the time.  And I still have never figured out what it's really about. An excellent piece of pop music, as well, delivered with their signature nonchalance.
