Lgit gets my vote, despite Mick's "hi man" on Julie being the worst thing on a Clash record before 1980.
i actually like that bit. it's deliciously stupid in just the right way.
I think it's a great dig at the hippy / groovy attitude of the previous generation.
I always thought it was 'High man' to fit in with the song?

I don't mind Julie but it does seem misplaced on that side
