....oh, they really pack 'em in,
    LAm

...to dig this chanting thing,
            FA                                   
But, as the wind changed direction,    

...and the temple band took five,

he said, "You better earn your pay!
          LAm                        MIm              
Drop your bombs between the minarets

Rock the Casbah è un brano composto e inciso dai The Clash, contenuto nell'album Combat Rock pubblicato nel 1982. Quinto lavoro in studio per la punk-band britannica, riscuote ottimo successo in patria ma anche negli USA dove si aggiudica oltre due milioni di copie vendute. La canzone è uno dei singoli estratti dal disco, unico a scalare le classifiche americane. Pare che la nascita del brano sia dovuta a cosa stava accadendo in Iran: lo Ayatollah del tempo aveva proibito ai suoi cittadini di ascoltare musica rock!
