Lyrics
Now 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
The shareef don't like it
Rockin' the Casbah
Rock the Casbah
The shareef don't 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
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
The shareef don't like it
Rockin' the Casbah
Rock the Casbah
The shareef don't like it
Rockin' the Casbah
Rock the Casbah
Now over at the temple
Oh! They really pack 'em in
The in crowd say it's 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
The shareef don't like it
Rockin' the Casbah
Rock the Casbah
The shareef don't like it
Rockin' the Casbah
Rock the Casbah
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
The shareef don't like it
Rockin' the Casbah
Rock the Casbah
The shareef don't like it
Rockin' the Casbah
Rock the Casbah
He thinks it's not kosher
Fundamentally he can't take it.
You know he really hates it.

I agree it's still a great song. It's a shame a music group felt hat they needed to address the issue on a worldwide scale. I was to believe "When in Rome, do as the Roman's do"!!! In other words, when in America, one should speak English for the most part, if possible. And, when in another person's country, you respect their traditions!!! When went to Italy, my grandmother made me speak Italian b/c her parent's didn't teach her cuz she was being raised as an American in America. Sure, they followed ld school traditions w/ in he hme but that ws it. When I lived in Mexico, I spoke Spanish & followed their traditions such as Cinco de Myo, etc. In my home there, I continued my Italian cooking & traditions. What was wonderful is we all learned to appreciate our differences; not ee the as negatives. Maybe, we can all learn from this tale!!!! The world would be far more tolerance & a lot less hate; in my opinion ONLY. What does everyone else think???

@@elisacucc1967 It was the Islamic revolutionaries who banned music in Iran, the tradition had been that it wasn't banned. On a wider level, music is part of the human race's tradition. Trying to ban music is against nature, and is not respectful of our tradition.
Favorite Moment: when the sheik is dancing as he is gassing up the Cadillac. Gets me every time.
I am in the eighth grade. In my class, there is a kid who has some sort of learning disability, but it has never been specified what exactly is wrong with him. Anyway, on my last day of seventh grade, he invited me to his house for a "dance party," and since one of my other friends was going to be there, I said "sure." When I got there, the two kids were taking turns playing songs on KZread. I put this song on, and it's been his favorite song ever since. He asks me to pull out my phone and put it on everyday, and he mimics Joe Strummer's dances and expressions. He knows every word, and it brings all of us joy when we see him dancing and singing along.

Quality Music/Tv/Music ended in 2000 because Iran and China started threatening major figures friends and family with death behind the scenes. Cancel culture... That's of China and Iran. Everyone buying into it, and it sucks that my fellow Americans are too uneducated and apathetic to see through the thin veil of propaganda. I do know some friends in punk bands, and been busting out lyrics with my song: I didn't start the baron. Maybe time to start music as an old punk... But time is short, and I'm making video games...

It's a shame that so many people misinterpret this song. "Rock the Casbah" is meant to mean "jam out to music," not "blowing it up." It's an ode to disobeying tyrants. In the song, even the Sharif's jet fighters ignore the unreasonable orders given to them and tune into the music instead.

This was the song Armed Forces Radio was playing when the First Gulf War (Desert Storm) started.
Happy 40th anniversary, MTV, even though you're playing a "Ridiculousness" marathon all day and don't even seem to remember your own birthday. This video holds a special place in my heart as the first I ever remember watching on MTV when I was a little girl. You know, back when they still played music videos.

As an Iranian this song and the story behind it (which is directly about "western music" getting kinda bannded after the 1979 Islamic revolution and in general about freedom of speech and though) has a cozy warm place in my heart. and with all the bullshit going on here these days and the corrupt religious authoritarian government , this song is making much more sense. long live equ(al)ity freedom and peace. p.s.(let's not mention this song getting mutilated in early 90's. we all know the truth)

The BASS guitar rifts in this song and the Who's "Emminence Front" are classic.
What an iconic fucking sound. Probably top 3 most sampled rock songs ever.
I used to love this album ( Combat Rock). I was age 13/14 living in New Zealand and had this on cassette. Remember them ! ? These days kids think cds are old fashioned !! I used to listen to it on my walkman, loved every song on the album. Now im 42, where did the time go ! I dont really want to get older, lose my vitality, energy and strength, but i dont want to die either. Life is a strange thing.And If you find love with someone then dont mess it up, its hard to find, thats my tip of the day, maybe even my tip of a lifetime

If war could be only fought by the old men who initiated it & no other civilians, wars might be far less frequent, might solve problems another way. Singing & dancing is far better than fighting & killing. RIP Joe!

@@micaheiber1419 No, actually the quality of art is declining in general. It's not a myth, it's a known movement called postmodernism, which claims that aesthetics and beauty have no objective standards. And it has slowly been taking hold of our society and cultural standards more and more, decade by decade. It's even objectively true that movies are doing worse in terms of sales and public interest. I'm sure that good music is still being created, but the problem is that it is being spread thin, and it is not being promoted as it has historically, probably do to our superficial society and culture losing its ability to know what good aesthetics are. Too much propaganda as well.
