The Clash: Rock the Casbah (1982)

"Rock the Casbah" became The Clash's biggest hit. It begins with some Arab king banning rock music. In response, the people "rock the Casbah" which results in an airstrike. However, the pilots don't obey orders and rock out themselves. The song incorporates Arabic, Hebrew, and Sanscrit words in a clever way.
