Yes, I read criticism of the lyrics earlier in the thread but they are excellent. Great satire.coffeepotman wrote: ↑01 Apr 2019, 8:28amI love Ivan, it's got that classic disco beat, crazy sound effects and great lyrics

Complete crap & that is why I voted for it.
Why the hate for Death is a Star? It is the perfect swansong for the Clash.

Whilst we are at it why isn't TIRC on the list?
Thoroughly crap song with a bass rip off.
Embarrassing.

TIRC is a fantastic beat, even if anyone takes a dislike to it, there's no way it can be considered the 'worst' Clash song ever surely.Marky Dread wrote: ↑01 Apr 2019, 11:51am''How to Lose Friends and Alienate People the Deny way.''

Radio Clash is boss.
Re: Friday Poll Thread #3 - Worst Clash Song
Radio Clash is superior, but both are great. And yeah Topper's beat is so good (that Terry fucked up in 82 of course).coffeepotman wrote: ↑01 Apr 2019, 12:03pmTIRC kills it and is awesomeBitterTom wrote: ↑01 Apr 2019, 11:59amTIRC is a fantastic beat, even if anyone takes a dislike to it, there's no way it can be considered the 'worst' Clash song ever surely.Marky Dread wrote: ↑01 Apr 2019, 11:51am''How to Lose Friends and Alienate People the Deny way.''

Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

“TIRC is bad” is a hell of a take.

TIRC is an early draft of BAD. If you hate BAD, sure, it makes sense to hate TIRC.

Radio Clash is superb, TIRC is pretty decent.
