Friday Poll Thread #3 - Worst Clash Song
I have withdrawn Mensforth Hill on the grounds of it not really being a song. No remixes/dubs/outtakes either (including the kiddy songs, sorry Wally), and definitely no CTC. Tracks officially released between 1977 and 1982 only, e.g. no "Every Little Bit Hurts".
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Re: Friday Poll Thread #3 - Worst Clash Song
this is great. "not counting all of the clash's worst songs, which is their worst?"

Re: Friday Poll Thread #3 - Worst Clash Song
Almost pulled the trigger on that one, but went with Stop The World. At least I can remember a few bits of First Night. Gun to my head, I couldn't tell you how Stop The World really goes without it actually playing.

The panorama of the city is wrong
In fact the city the city seems to be gone
echo echo splurge splurge grind
shuddering halt

In the absence of The Clash's actual worst song, Death is a Star, I have selected Hitsville for the Foley Factor.

Re: Friday Poll Thread #3 - Worst Clash Song
We would have been scraping around with demos and alternate versions. Let's get down to the nitty gritty.

Re: Friday Poll Thread #3 - Worst Clash Song
Let it be known that you have voted for Death Is a Star. This will be recognised if we approach a tiebreaker decision.

I have to defend Stop the World. When speed-corrected it's a lot better than 50% of the songs on Sandinista. I guess it was fun to varispeed the song down as an inside joke but it didn't do them any favors.

Re: Friday Poll Thread #3 - Worst Clash Song
Hmmm, interesting. I didn't know (or forgot) it was slowed down. Anyone have a corrected version for the edification of those of us who dismiss it? I'd always rather find ways to enjoy a clash song...

I like Stop the World — gangling apocalypse-groove. Also, it ends with TOTAL ANNIHILATION, not a shuddering halt.
