Yalla Yalla is the best song on X Ray. That towers over even most of the Clash discography.
Never got the love for it. It's a strange world.
What!
Do you skip past Straight to Hell so you can get to Overpowered by Funk?
Ps. There is nothing wrong with Overpowered by Funk.
It's good live.

Well Straight To Hell has always alternated with Complete Control as my favourite Clash song, so no.
I can hear the STH vibe in Yalla, but no, it just never grabbed me.
And you're a weed smoker too. Mind boggling.
A very casual one, haha. Maybe if I tried that green stuff people keep offering me...
Have I said on here that I work at a bookies now? We had a guy smoke some spice out the front and then he had an immediate fit, vomited, then ran up to a group of hoodlums and punched at them, then smashed up a car, then had another fit before passing out. I think it was then that my curiousity around it was sated.

I'm strictly a hash man, and down to about 4 joints a week these days. I suppose spending about £1.50 a week on drugs can't be that bad, can it?

Of course not. You do you, man.

Yalla Yalla. What a fucking song. One or two of the live versions are utterly sublime.

Get Down Moses was another song I heard live before it was released. Not sure what gig it was from but unless I am imagining it wrong it sounded very different to the recorded version?
I had very high hopes for the recorded version and thought it was going to be full on gospel in the same vein as Sound of the Sinners.
I like the song a lot but thought from the early version it could have been much better.

I like aspects of Yalla, but it is too static for my tastes.
Agreed. Meskies II did it better. Rock Art suffers from too much drum machine.

"Yalla Yalla" is simply superb and the mix of keyboards, synths, bass, drums, and a guitar with that E-bow running through it is awesome and the lyrics are brilliant to boot.

No it's a Mad World or even A Rockin' World but not a Strange World. Maybe you are thinking of Strange Town or Steve Strange.

I love Sandpaper Blues but no one ever mentions it. I also totally love Evil Darling, even more so since we worked out the lyrics.
Hoyston. Probably this and X-Ray Style are my two favs.
I like the live B-side version of X-Ray Style more than the studio version!

Hands down, "Get Down Moses" is my favourite from the Mescaleros period. There's also something satisfying for me that it came out after he died, emphasizing that he still had a lot in the tank.
