My name is Butch Weatherly and I am genuinely happy to be listening to this wonderful song very, very loud on Sunday, February 25,2024 in Kihei Maui. This song has always warmed my heart and soothed my soul and I sincerely wish nothing but Peace, Happiness, and Prosperity to all who read this. Take Care and I genuinely Love you all! Respectfully and with The Warmest of Aloha , Butch Weatherly
My dude! I entirely agree! I bought this as the first new release by the only band that matters, after picking up their first 2 American releases the summer before. This is a perfect album, and though there are numerous other perfect albums, this has an incredible feel, and depth that they shouldn't have reached on their third offering. Anyone who claims to love rock who doesn't have and listen to this in an ongoing manner is a poser.
Their debut album is absolutely fantastic and I still get excited when a song from that album hits the airwaves! LC can be considered "one of the top 10 albums ever" if you only own 10 albums. I don't think its very good at all.
Please buy this album! London Calling. I got it the first time I heard this song. I spent weeks trying to find it in stores. I bought one cassette that turned out to be country. 😢 When I finally found it, it became the soundtrack for two years of my life. All I would listen to was this and The Cars. But then it was 90% this album. Some of the songs from this album have been in movies. "Rudy Can't Fail," another of my favorites, was in a John Cusack movie. My brother would play the drums on the perfectly aligned dash in front of him and we would sing and laugh. We were the only 2 people I knew who listened to it and that made it even better. Then in 1990, Rolling Stone named it the greatest album of the 80's (actually came out in 1979). Then Sandinista, then the album where everyone started loving them, Combat Rock. With Should I Stay or Should I Go and Rock the Casbah (whatever the heck that is). Happy for their success, but sad that they weren't just mine (and my brothers anymore). Crap! How many words have I just typed? Sorry
@@steveg1107 I have the album. I've had it for years. I also remember when London Calling was a radio hit back in 1979 and 1980, although I was very young. I thought it was a pretty cool song.
Another one of those sad songs, that if you don’t know the lyrics are happy. Like ring of Fire, or maxwells silver hammer. So happy until you realize those are about burning for eternity in the underworld, and a mass murderer.
@@lionide138 It's a song so catchy, most people don't listen to the lyrics. But they should! Because it's not just about the pleasures of bachelorhood, and the importance of individualism, it's also a personal statement about the band itself.
I don't identify with a lot of music, but The Clash were something special. They weren't afraid to write about suffering or injustice or oppression. RIP Joe Strummer and love live The Clash.
I have a very small stream in my yard an can catch a couple hundred crayfish a day. The waters only a few inches deep. Not the kind you'd eat but excellent fishing bait.
This has always been my favorite album of all time. No matter how low I'm feeling, I put this on and it puts a smile on my face. My most prized physical possession is my original vinyl copy from 1979. Best birthday gift I ever got!
Interesting tidbit - London Calling was released December '79 in England, January '80 in the states. So it's the best album of the 70's in England, and the best album of the 80's in the US.
I also have an original British pressing, my most prized possession, along with my autographed photo of Bette Davis. Released in the UK the day I turned 2 months old.
The Clash were always musically evolving,that's what made them one of the best bands to come out of uk,plus catchy tunes.Joe Strummer gone but never forgotten.
This album was a huge step forward. They had almost completely dropped a traditional punk sound, but kept the punk attitude, while experimenting with all kinds of music. Listening to their 1st album in 77, who would think just 2 years later, they would do a song like this or Revolution Rock?
@@cgfftrophilessspursfan9952 if you put it like that? What is a great song to you? 🤔 If you can’t present a song to compare that is better in your opinion, you have no right to disagree. Don’t come in half way with a debate. Stand your ground all the way, friend. This guy had the courage to put his heart out there knowing the likes of you would assail.
I can't even understand who felt it necessary to dislike this... like to actively search out and listen to the clash, not even their most massive hit, and say, "i need to do this for me"... people are very peculiar
well joe n mick sound exactly alike.n i thought how ahead of its time its clash n its also preview of whars to come late clash n also mick with his band big audio dynamite..which is crazy cause joe is exec producer on big audio dynamite stuff
When I first heard the entire album, I was stunned on how every song in this album are magnificent. This song might be my second favorite song of The Clash.
I used to play this song over and over again. I didn’t realise how much until my Spanish Mum was singing it whilst vacuuming!!! No.1 fan I adore them xxxxxx
@@susanelliott1 ha ha. That's great. I hope you both have a really nice time together on her birthday, and I hope she's able to dance and sing along with you as well.
When I was in primary school we sold magazines for some terrible reason and my sister and me always took music albums as our rewards. This was one. I listened to it about a million times.
I'm from a small Midwest town with no radio station that played anything good. It wasn't til 1985 we got cable and the original MTV. So I just looked at album covers on the flyer and bought anything. I fell in love with all of them. Only Prince I saw on Saturday Night Special and lost my damned mind. Trench coat, boots, fishnets. I think the "what the actual f" 80s were very interesting.
Just finished listening to this album front to back again, and knowing this song is always waiting at the end is like awaiting the cherry on top a beautiful delicious sundae
Mick Jones has A very unique singing voice.his speaking voice is one of the nicest sounds I’ve ever heard.two great voices in one group,sweet dynamite.
Found this song through NCAA 06. Revisited this song after watching 500 Days of Summer. Became a favorite years later after developing a taste in real music and realizing who The Clash were.
Jacob Hawkins you have to check out the pixies (my favorite band) They wrote the song here comes your man that the main character sings drunk at karaoke
Long time ago I heard this for the first time in a Rodney Mullen skate video and only today did I find out the song's name. Love this, God save The Clash
@Brazilian Tex Atlantis nah man It is not regret It is powerful A guitar smashed Or not Still makes some noise Brazilian tex Just stop thinking Listen again
Generational feeling type song. It captures something about the human spirit so perfectly. It’s always been a song by the clash that for me stuck out as this almost Genre-Bending song of its time where it’s encapsulates such a beautiful feeling of melancholic nostalgia we’ve all felt.
This was a game changer !!! Few groups in the history of recorded music changed the game. The J5 with MJ, Run DMC, The Stones, James Brown, Johnny Cash etc., but this was a game changer. Punk rock like the world has never known and will never experience again, PEACE !!!

The riff, the drums, lyrics. Everything in this song is excellent craftsmanship
The harmonica
Yes! The harmonica.
i always thought that the clash were the best musicians in the punk genre
🎯
The dude on rhythm is just a bangin
One of the greatest rock albums ever recorded, period........
Press REPEAT....F....Yah
That's more truth than gospel!!!
I'm not a big Clash fan, but I love this song more than I can put into words. Simply put it's one of the greatest songs of the 20th century.
yes yes yes
So beautiful xx

In my opinion from start to finish this album is one of the best of all time
"Lost in the Supermarket" definitely a classic, along with many others on the album. And of course, the title track is a masterpiece.
Agreed! Classics like this are a thing of the past and are mostly foreign to todays sissy and robotic musical generation.
F. Crazybone stop listening to mainstream and dig deeper theres a metric shit ton of amazing music out there
M Zach I prefer the first album and Give em enough rope
Aparently the greatest album of the 80s ( seen it on TV forget what pogram ) ... came out in 79 :D
This is quite possibly the happiest sounding breakup song ever. You just can't help but dance to it lol.
Truee haha
Another one of those sad songs, that if you don’t know the lyrics are happy. Like ring of Fire, or maxwells silver hammer. So happy until you realize those are about burning for eternity in the underworld, and a mass murderer.
my girl broke up with me while this was playing lmao

London Calling turned 40 years old today, and it hasn’t aged a second.
Jesus saves 🙂
I think it’s 41 years old. :)
cheers 🍺
For real it really stands out amongst other punk albums of the time and every song is still so unique and catchy.
Great music never does!
You love this song - then you get put into a position to understand the words and relate.. it’s at that point you realize it’s a masterpiece
FACTS!!!!
I don't identify with a lot of music, but The Clash were something special. They weren't afraid to write about suffering or injustice or oppression. RIP Joe Strummer and love live The Clash.
Whole purpose of them
Yep
Keith Levene died on Veterans Day 11 November 2022 at the age of 65 from Liver Cancer.
@@Texasmilitarydepartmentvid9654 very sad. Keith's early guitar work with pil was other worldly
Never saw the Clash but saw BAD Mick Jones n they were unreal
This is my favorite Clash song.
It’s one of mine to love love love the clash
Yup
Me too
SAMEEE it gives me so much happiness just listening to it

This is one of my "dozen" songs. I hear it once, and I immediately want to hear it another 11 times.
Fuck yeah, over and over and over why not

Great song from 1979! Man, it's as good now as it was 37 years ago. Thanks for posting this timeless classic!
Agree
Stay in by me
I’m pretty sure it was released in 1980
@@Baseeksj Nope, December 1979 it was released.
100%
One of the all time greatest sons ever written!
And it's sang by the guitarist.
@@anthonyfuqua6988 It has to be sung by the guitarist because Mick Jones and Joe Strummer both play guitar!
Sons? 🤣
@@thesoundlikechameleons2082 You know that I meant to say songs! So I made a typo.
maybe not one of the greatest sons, I rolled a 5/4/6 son, he was pretty neat (bonus points to those who get the reference)
I’ve never been able to sit still when this song plays. Almost fell off the toilet just now.
that's Greeeaaattt...I Dig IT on the Throne...you Gooo
This is one of those songs that I can listen to anytime, anyplace, anywhere. It's just awesome.
Great point
45 years today.
Amazing album, amazing song.
On repeat until my heart's clamped back together 🙏
Did it work

The Clash was underrated, one of the best bands of the 80s
The Clash was everything U2 wished they were.
The day Joe died I drank two bottles of wine while listening to this album. Cheers to you Joe. Thank you for your music.
Thanks a lot😊
Toasting. With you. Dear. 😢😊
That album cover is one of the greatest pictures ever taken in rock
Thank Pete
Agree
It’s physically impossible to not like this song, 9/10 dentists agree.

I don't know what the hell you're talking about but I'm just going to go ahead and like this anyway.
@@danirankin6130 Thank you, I do appreciate that clarification.

It's CRIMINAL that this video only has 7M views.
It's the title. Agree 💯.
This is one of the greatest Songs of all times in my personal opinion.
This song totally rocks. It's impossible to listen to it without swaying your body.
Puts a little strut in ya step for sure
Why is this song so fucking awesome?
Rodney Mullen on Almost's round 3
Had to look up the soundtrack to that to find this song, glad I remembered it was in his part after all these years!
After watching it I remembered how I wanted to learn to slide primo like him, I just couldn't figure out how he did it.
***** William Patrick had the best part though, best skater ever!!!!
Best comment I've ever seen in YT, Jeff Panetta. Godspeed man, to you and yours.
IMHO,this is the best song from the Clash.
The Clash are one of the best bands from over the pond!!
A hell to the yeah!
You could even make the argument that they are the best band from over the pond
Nah they are great but not the best!! There have been loads of great bands from the uk 🇬🇧
Perfection. No argument. This is what musical perfection sounds like. By all means you can disagree with me. But rest assured you are wrong.

Hot take - One of the best songs of all time. The drums and especially the harmonica rifts really make it something special. The rest is great too:)
It's the locked groove between drums and guitar riff that makes it special
I can't even understand who felt it necessary to dislike this... like to actively search out and listen to the clash, not even their most massive hit, and say, "i need to do this for me"... people are very peculiar

This is the best Clash that doesn't sound like The Clash.
This is definitely a different side of them.
They've got many songs like this one. Check out lost in supermarket, charlie don't surf, sound of sinners, should I stay or should I go
+Citadel I agree! Doesn't sound like the Clash but, still a great song nonetheless!

This song is so good it gives me chills
This has been my favourite song since I was three, I'm so grateful my mum had good taste in music :)

Never gets old!
My favorite by the Clash. Amazing song. "...did you lieeee when you spoke to me..."
One of my favourite songs from The Clash, great song!
This song is over 40 years old and it's great to know people are still finding it!
This was my favorite song from this great band.
A flood of childhood memories when i listen to this, my friend Rene Espolon and I would crank this on his dads stereo.
The beginning of the song gives me 7am vibes and the sun is starting to shine
I heard this song on NCAA 06' back when I was like 10 and 11 and I've loved it ever since.
Yes !!! My old Texas dynasty on there with this as the only song playing from the entire soundtrack
Same
One of those songs that can find the soul of anyone listening regardless of musical preferences.
The Clash-''Train in Vain''.This song is so awesome.I love it!
i remember where and when i bought this album in 1979, i've still got it it and still love it
my favorite band and song of ALL TIME. still love you Mick. xoxoxoxo
Equal parts attitude, reckless abandon, and anguish. Mick, Joe, Paul and Topper nailed it.
What a freaking great song, the way it makes you feel. Awesome.
When I was in primary school we sold magazines for some terrible reason and my sister and me always took music albums as our rewards. This was one. I listened to it about a million times.
Only a million? I don't know how many times I have bought London Calling in it's many formats (Vinyl, cassette, CD, Etc.).
I'm from a small Midwest town with no radio station that played anything good. It wasn't til 1985 we got cable and the original MTV. So I just looked at album covers on the flyer and bought anything. I fell in love with all of them. Only Prince I saw on Saturday Night Special and lost my damned mind. Trench coat, boots, fishnets. I think the "what the actual f" 80s were very interesting.
This song hit's so hard!!!!!
But then you left me, said you felt trapped.
Every time I hear the Clash,I feel proud of being British :)
Reminds me of my dad he loved the clash
What a banging song.. LOVE The Clash.
This album changed my musical life
High school, beautiful day it is one of my favorite memories

Album of the Decade 1980’s. Recorded in ‘79.
Released in November 1979.
From atart to finish, London Calling is everything
Best Clash jam ever, never going out of style!! 2025 and I’m still rocking to it!
This album was the anthem of my high school days. Get so nostalgic when I listen. Like going back in a time machine
Thats the magic of good music, no expiration date

Doesn't my life have such an awesome soundtrack? Thanks for playing along.

Another one of those fantastic rock bands who should have stayed together longer.
Reminds me of high school parties! And I graduated in 07. This music is timeless
This was a game changer !!! Few groups in the history of recorded music changed the game. The J5 with MJ, Run DMC, The Stones, James Brown, Johnny Cash etc., but this was a game changer. Punk rock like the world has never known and will never experience again, PEACE !!!
Legends never die. Joe lives on through timeless songs like this.

I was looking for this song. It's so cool to hear this song
YES! Definitely a rollers boogie song!
The Clash foi uma das melhores bandas da década de 70, adoro The Train in Vain, dá vontade de ouvir o tempo todo. Great Band.
The Clash... undeniable greatness! One of my all time favorite songs.
the production on this is amazing everything echoes and pops at the same time its really clear
