You wouldn't believe the number of songs that I grew to enjoy because of some of the unique and imaginative videos that showcased them.

Rock the Casbah - The Clash


Now I KNOW you're joking. It's not possible to enjoy that song.

"It's not possible to enjoy that song."

Oh, I don't know ... I particularly like the phrase "drop your bombs between the minarets down the Casbah way", and they show .. what I like to think of as Israeli .. Phantoms flying overhead.

My clearest memory of the newscasts from the Six-Day War in '67 were the Israeli Phantoms with their Star of David crest on them.

Video is in the eye of the beholder ...

I had a friend back then who argued that the lyrics were

"F___ the gas pump,
F___ the gas pump..."
