the one the clash don't sing.
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead

Ivan for me. Least bit of songwriting.
a lifetime serving one machine
Is ten times worse than prison

eh, it fits in well on a mix with blondie and some liquid liquid and such. nice unique bit of the clash catalog.

When it comes to Hitsville, I do like the original recording - and more than Ivan, which is fine - but what I return to is the platonic perfection of the Katrina Leskanich version.

Joe's best ever lyric for me.

I voted Junco. A plodding song and I don't like Joe's cod-Jamaican accent.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Ivan for me, just doesn't have the strength of the others.

I'll defend Junco to death, top 10 Clash track for me, love it. Even if it starts a bit farty.

I didn't vote for it - but The Leader isn't that strong of a track. It's kind of catchy and the lyric is kind of playful...but it really does feel like a tossed off effort.

Comparing it to Magnificent Seven (and SAE in my opinion) is like comparing a hamburger to a steak. Both nice, but in completely different leagues.

2 votes for Something About England? Above Ivan, Junco and the Leader? I literally despair.
