I covered this song once on a record I made with a band called Abominable SnowGrape. It was fun.

I feel like I should be drawing a line somewhere through those letters but I'm lost.

I thought it was "only the vibrators?"

Re: Strummer ad-libs
Heres one i have always wanted to have a clarification on
1978-07-26 Music Machine, Camden, London
Safe European Home
Before the song starts does he say
Surrey or Sorry
In the audiace recording it sounds like Surrey
From the video in rude boy it sounds like Sorry

Oooh, get you with your whizz kid toys.
Happy to be proven wrong. So what does "I hear a vibrator" refer to? I always thought it was a reference to the band.

Re: Strummer ad-libs
I think so also. Can't see any other relevant reference. I can't work out if it's a dig at The Vibrators for jumping the band wagon and still sounding like the Stones. Which would be rich considering the Kinks and Who riffs the Clash were happy to adapt.Heston wrote: ↑11 Jun 2023, 3:18pmOooh, get you with your whizz kid toys.

I also slowed down the album Beaconsfield version of "White Riot". I think Joe sings "They sell our land but all we get is Sunday papers".

Re: Strummer ad-libs
Joe starts citing the lyrics to "What's My Name" then realises it should be "Safe European Home". Mick reminds him and Joe acknowledges by sticking his thumb up and saying "sorry".
