"Rock the Casbah"
The Clash

What's up, Hivers. Continuing with the bands that marked an era in the world of British music was "The Clash", this band was on stage between 1976 and 1986. This band was one of the first in the world of punk, it could be said that they were one of the forerunners of this genre, although they showed a much more complex style than the simple style of future punk bands. Among his influences were reggae, rock, rockabilly, ska, jazz, funk and dub among other varied styles in his repertoire. The Clash became a very influential band in world music.

Among their compositions they addressed world politics and other issues of international interest; It was in the 80's when they achieved success in the United States despite having immediate success in the United Kingdom. The songs of "The Clash" have a high complexity in execution for the bass, where it mixes the speed with the precision, it also has no limitation with respect to scales or figures, a score of this band for the electric bass can easily have eighth notes in large amounts throughout the entire topic.

"Rock the Casbah" was the most popular song in the United States, it reached the top 10 of reproductions on the most important radio stations in the country. The song deals in a comical and sarcastic way with the recent ban on rock and roll in Iran by Ayatollah Khomeini. This is the theme chosen for today, from this band perhaps forgotten by the new generations, but which marked an era in punk internationally.

"Rock the Casbah" - The Clash(Cover Bass)

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-cruisin' down the ville
The Muezzin was a-standin'
On the radiator grille
The Shareef don't like it
Rock the Casbah, rock the Casbah
The Shareef don't like it
Rock 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-pickin' thumb
As soon as the Shareef had cleared the square
They began to wail
The Shareef don't like it
Rock the Casbah, rock the Casbah
The Shareef don't like it
Rock 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
And the temple band took five
The crowd caught a whiff
Of that crazy Casbah jive
The Shareef don't like it
Rock the Casbah, rock the Casbah
The Shareef don't like it
Rock 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
Rock the Casbah, rock the Casbah
The Shareef don't like it
Rock the Casbah, rock the Casbah
The Shareef don't like it, he thinks it's not kosher
Rock the Casbah, rock the Casbah
The Shareef don't like it, fundamentally can't take it
Rock the Casbah, Rock the Casbah
The Shareef don't like it, you know he really hates it
Rock the Casbah, rock the Casbah
The Shareef don't like it, really, really hates it
