Mick Jones to Tony Parsons: "I predict you'll be a turncoat cock".

Saw this in the comments section. I believe it, even if it isn't true. Mick could always spot 'em a mile away.

A Strummservation: Joe loved to write song titles that included genres the song wasn't really a part of.

Jimmy Jazz: not a jazz song
Afro-Cuban Be-Bop: Despite the presence of bongos, definitely not Afro-Cuban Be-Bop.
Punk Rock Blues: Neither Punk Rock nor Blues.
