Rock The Casbah

The Clash

Transposer:

Intro: ... 2x Now the king told the boogie men you have to let that raga drop. The oil down the desert way has been shaking to the top. The sheik he drove his cadillac he went a cruisin down the ville. The Muezzin was a standing / / / On the radiator grille. chorus: Shareef don’t like it. Rock the Casbah. Rock the Casbah. 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 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 and the temple band took five The crowd got a whiff Of that crazy casbah jive. Chorus The king called up his jet fighters He said you better earn your pay. Drop your bombs down between the minarets Down the casbah way. As sson as the Shareef was chauffered out of there The jet pilote tuned to the cockpit radio blare. As soon as the Shareef was outta their hair The jet pilots wailed. Chorus to extro.

Cette chanson raconte l’histoire d’un roi qui ordonne d’interdire un genre de musique populaire, considéré comme inapproprié par les autorités. Malgré cette interdiction, les habitants, animés par leur passion pour la musique, se rassemblent et continuent à jouer leurs instruments, bravant les ordres du pouvoir. On sent une certaine tension entre la tradition et l’expression artistique, illustrée par les personnages qui veulent vivre leur culture librement. Le contexte évoque une lutte contre l’oppression, où la musique devient un symbole de rébellion contre ceux qui veulent imposer des règles strictes. Cela met en lumière les conflits sociaux et politiques qui peuvent exister lorsqu’une culture locale se heurte à des autorités conservatrices.
