LYRICS :-
Move my feet
And touch my sole
Bass sound drum beat
Rock'and roll
Just play that music
I don't care what key it's in
Where it's come from
Where it's been
Just play that music
I don't need to see your face
I don't need no autographs
I can't play your interviews
Can't hear your photographs
You don't need to be profound
In fact don't speak
Just play that sound
Just play that music
I'll turn on my radio
If you've got a great live show
Just play that music
If it's hitting make it stick
Do your job just play music
Critics mags and interviews
Who cares about bad reviews
Does it have to be so tame
Do I have to twist and shout
Do we have to play this game
Or be down and out
It don't have to look the same
I keep trying to tell 'em
It don't have to all sound lame
I sing the song you sell 'em
If it's hitting make it stick
Do your job just play music
If you need an ear to lend
I've got the cash to spend
Move my feet
And touch my sole
Bass sound drum beat
Rock and roll
Just play that music
I don't care what key it's in
Where it's come from
Where it's been
Just play that music
Does it have to be so tame
Do I have to twist and shout
Do we have to play this game
Or be down and out
It don't have to look the same
I keep trying to tell 'em
It don't have to all sound lame
I sing the song you sell 'em
Does it have to be so tame
Do I have to twist and shout
Do we have to play this game
Or be down and out
It don't have to look the same
I keep trying to tell 'em
It don't have to all sound lame
I sing the song you sell 'em
Just play that music!
Just play that music
I won't refuse it
I'd like to tell ya
Just play that music!
Stay on that feeling
Don't you loose it
Stay on the stageing
Just play that music!
Don't you loose it
Just play that music!
Some like theYankee sound
Just play that music!
Sometimes from London town
Just play that music!
I've seen the that alley ground
Just play that music!
Sometimes from London town
Just play that music!

Mick Jones is a musical genius.

Where is the live footage from/what concert is it at?

Loved B.A.D. in south Texas and got to see them Everytime they came to Houston.....4 times I think, the last time they opened for Live at a big open air venue, I took my son's, who was a big Live fan at the time. I always thought The Clash would get back together and we would get to hear all that great music that made me what I am today. Mick and Joe were so good together, and were great working separately in the Mescolaros and B.A. D. I saw the Clash when I was 16 at the small venue Cullen Auditorium, it was the 1st time I saw people literally dancing in the aisles. I became a lifelong fan and I never became a yuppie or sold my soul to some giant corporation. They were much more than a band for me, they friggin in were a way of life and they opened my eyes on the world. When Joe died I spent oandyear listening to nothing but the Clash and BAD for one year. Mick I am so glad you are still around even though we don't hear to much from you anymore, you owe me no explanation. We damn sure need Joe Strummer now more than ever. I will always remember the great times and great shows, maybe we will get to meet up, so put the coffee on Joe, we will all be coming home soon brother. Mick you damn sure made the world a better place. Much love from south Texas.

How can you lot not appreciate excellent music?

I have seen them over 3 times in the early 90s , they were ,still are to this day , synth based , samples and electronic drum programming pioneers, one of my main influences for my music, soon to be in production.
Just play that music ,
Medicine show
Ticket
Could go on forever 😜
Because Mick Jones was from a Punk background, The clash- their totally alternative sound quick transition to indi electronic was a breath of fresh air , as at that time of my life everyone was into crap rock shit , I would even sell kids at school tapes , and say this is what music of the future Will sound like .
It's now over 30 years later, OMFG 😱- yes I told you .
And love to rub the fact of the matter in everyone's faces .
Thanks boys 😘

Lets be honest....the idea of BAD, the fashion, the looks and the poses struck were 9/10 better than the actual songs

This could fit about side two of the clash Sandinista😮

For all the Beatles haters. You know who you are

While 'Peek-A-Boo' by Siouxsie And The Banshees is the very first number 1 on the newly formed Billboard Modern Rock Tracks in 1988 (Alternative Airplay today), this song became the second number 1 song a week after.
