Rock the Casbah è una canzone dei Clash, presente nel loro album del 1982 Combat Rock. Secondo una teoria, l'idea della canzone sarebbe venuta fuori dal fatto che in Iran, allora governata da Ruhollah Khomeini, veniva vietata la musica rock.
Now the king told the boogie men
You have to let that raga drop
The oil down the desert way
Has been shakin' to the top
The sheik he drove his Cadillac
He went a' cruisnin' down the ville
The muezzin was a' standing On the radiator grille
The shareef don't like it
Rockin' the Casbah Rock the Casbah
The shareef don't like it
Rockin' the Casbah Rock the Casbah...
