I think The Clash play it brilliantly. Heston doesn't like it because it comes from a time before Jimmy the Hoover invented music.Silent Majority wrote: ↑02 Apr 2019, 8:05amIt's a good Mose Allison song, not a good Clash song

I actually don't mind Look Here, it's just a song I often see mentioned as a contender for worst Clash song. The fact it has 3 votes probably justifies its inclusion.

Re: Friday Poll Thread #3 - Worst Clash Song
To be fair "they said release 'Remote Control' but we didn't want it on the label" is a piss poor opening line but a fantastic song so maybe... No actually, Overpowered by Funk is still crap.

Re: Friday Poll Thread #3 - Worst Clash Song
It's a slight song but I do like it. It's certainly the best CR era b-side. Apparently Paul had a big hand in writing it.

Re: Friday Poll Thread #3 - Worst Clash Song
I agree with this assessment. Nothing special about it, but I enjoy it just fine.
