The Clash song also makes references to the cordoned off Arab areas of European colonial holdings. Rock the Casbah has been said to be a reference to the anti-imperialist movements in colonial nations as well as the banning of music in Persian and Arab nations.

Get the rock the bellsmug. Music, stemming from college students getting together to form a band, in hopes of becoming rockstars, but doing so by straying away from any mainstream styles and doing so by being jammy and being "unique."
This ultimately results in becoming a typical college band -- having piss-poor production qualities (always done in a weekend's time at a crappy local studio), slightly out of tune vocalists and/or guitars, acoustic guitars, and lots of jamming. 99% of college bands belong to this group, which is why 99% of successful bands do not come from college formed bands.

Get the rocking the cradlemug. Rock music with deliberately offensive lyrics expressing anger and social alienation; in part a reaction against progressive rock. Punk rock is an anti-establishment music movement that began about 1976, exemplified by The Ramones, the Sex Pistols and The Clash. The term is also used to describe subsequent music scenes that share key characteristics with those first-generation "punks". The term is sometimes also applied to the fashions or the irreverent "DIY" ("do it yourself") attitude associated with this musical movement. Punks and punk rock were once denigrated by the overwhelming majority of the population, including young people. To be a punk rocker and play punk rock music was to ostracize yourself from your peers and be the subject of scorn. Today it is relatively socially acceptable to be punk and play punk rock music. Thus, some maintain that the punk scene has lost the very heart of its former nature as one of explosive creativity, rebellion, anger, hate, and individualism and that it has become a mere caricature of what once was.

Get the post rockmug. Nig Rock is a galactic, cosmic asswipe that runs around saying stupid things like "Bawitdaba da bang a dang diggy diggy diggy said the boogy said up jump the boogy".
Like anybody EVER uttered a fucking sentence like that.
Real niggers don't even SPEAK that way, but Nig Rock, living in his drug-addled little world pretends that people think he's a badass just because he was "inspired" to scrawl out some nonsense like "Bawitdaba da bang a dang diggy diggy diggy said the boogy said up jump the boogy".
It is actually Satanic language referring to the end of the Cosmos.

Please, find me a stupider lyric EVER written in any language upon the face of this planet. Such mindless drivel could only originate in the foul bowels of the mind of Nig Rock.
God help us.
