Good thing he didn't ask for "Bombs Away" by The Police. They might have shot him.

" which begins, "The hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new lands, to fight the horde singing and crying Valhalla, I'm coming!"


So the Viking Kitties are terror threats?

play "Immigrant Song" by Led Zeppelin, which begins, "The hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new lands, to fight the horde singing and crying Valhalla, I'm coming!"

We are your overlords!

Queue the Viking Kitties!

"Hi, Mr. DJ. Can you play a song for me? Please play 'Don't sleep in the subway' by Petula Clark. And, no, I do not plan to release poison gas into your underground later tonight."

Of course the authorities are incapable of stopping REAL terrorists, so they do this kind of thing to try to convince people that they are doing something.
Same in the USA.

Apparently so.

It explains a lot. Lately I've been hearing the Admin Mods screaming "Death To The Infidels" before a good Zot...

Or "Spanish Bombs", which is on the same album as "London Calling...."

The driver alerted airport authorities and Mann was arrested as he boarded a flight for London's Heathrow Airport.

I wonder if he was actually arrested vs detained. An arrest has to be for a crime, and there's nothing here to charge him with, as far as I can see.

Me: - "Hey, Mr. Cab Driver, will you please put in this CD of Tony Bennet's 'I Left My Heart in San Francisco'?"

Cab driver: - "Attention Homeland Security - I've got a nut case in my cab that wants to strew body parts around San Francisco!"

The taxi driver must have been nuts.

Yup, every intending Osama plays triumphal terror music in Taxis just before taking care of business. /Sarc off

Or "Rock The Casbah" - Drop your bombs between the minarets. Down the Casbah way.

Would "Rock the Casbah" have been OK?

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 shiek he drove his Cadillac
He went a' cruisnin' down the ville
The muezzin was a' standing
On the radiator grille

CHORUS
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 craazy 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

CHORUS

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

CHORUS

The king called up his jet fighters
He said you better eaarn 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

CHORUS

He thinks it's not kosher
Fundamentally he can't take it.
You know he really hates it.

"Just play anything by the "Bay City Rollers" and you will be safe ...

No; then, the Good Taste in Music police will arrest you ...

(But I am one of the very few who will admit to liking their music!)

My friend nailed it. He was probably singing along to the Immigrant Song - which if you will recall, starts with a kind of high-pitched wailing at the beginning. The driver probably thought he was ululating and panicked!
