Proof that Ian and the Blockheads have had a massive cultural impact can be seen on this Australian commercial from the late 1980s...
I'm sure you can recognise the reworked tune!

#StrummerSaturday#TheClash - Ghetto Defendant (Extended Unedited Version) #masterpiecepiped.video/Wlv1fle74UU?is=AxfXβ¦
Starved in metropolis
Hooked on necropolis
Addict of metropolis
Do the worm on the acropolis
Slam dance cosmopolis
Enlighten the populace
Hungry darkness of living
Who will thirst in the pit? (Hooked on necropolis)
She spent a lifetime deciding
How to run from it (addict of metropolis)
Once fate had a witness and the years seemed like friends (girlfriends)
Now her child has a dream
But it begins like its end
Shot into eternity
Methadone Kitty
Iron Serenity
Ghetto defendant
It is heroin pity
Not tear gas nor baton charge
To stop you taking the city (strung out committee)
Walled out of the city
Clubbed down from uptown
Sprayed pest from the nest
Run out to barrio town (the guards are itchy)
Forced to watch at the feast
Then sweep up the night
Flipped pieces of coin (broken bottles)
Exchanged for birthright (grafted in a jiffy)
Ghetto defendant it is heroin pity (strung out committee)
Not tear gas nor baton charge
To stop you taking the city (not sitting pretty)
(Grafted in a jiffy) Heroin pity
Not tear gas nor baton charge
To stop you taking the city
The ghetto prince of gutter poets
Was bounced out of the room (Jean Arthur Rimbaud)
By the bodyguards of greed
For disturbing the tomb (1873)
His words like flamethrowers (Paris commune)
Burnt the ghettos in their chests
His face painted whiter
Then he was laid to rest (died in Marseille)
Ghetto defendant (buried in Charleville)
It is heroin pity
Not tear gas nor baton charge
To stop you taking the city (shut up in eternity)
It is heroin pity
Not tear gas nor baton charge
To stop you taking the city
Guatemala, Honduras, Poland
The hundred years war
TV re-run invasion
Death squad Salvador
Afghanistan
Meditation
Old Chinese flu
Kick junk, what else can a poor worker do?
Ghetto defendant
It is heroin pity
Not tear gas nor baton charge
To stop you taking the city
Ghetto defendant
It is heroin
pity
Not tear gas nor baton charge
To stop you taking the city

A great performance of Bankrobber by @TheClash featuring Mikey Dredd on Vocals. Note that it also has our very own Mick Gallagher on keys, who played extensively with The Clash.
I do know this. I am a man. A man with a womb. I donβt know what a baphomet is, but Iβm taking your word that mine is back to front or something. Can I get a reversal?

I Don't Mind
Hey Little Baby Can We Go Strollin'
Don't You Just Know It
Got Me Rockin' And I Oughtta Be Rollin'
Don't You Just Know It
I Don't Mind If You Don't Keep Your Word
Walk And Talk I Don't Mind About That
I Don't Mind If The World Is Round
Rock Them All Under The Ground
'Cos I Don't Mind, I Don't Mind
I Don't Mind, Don't Make Me Worry
I Ain't Got Time
You've Been Sittin' Home All Alone
You've Been Talkin' On The Telephone
Oh Don't Tell Me That It's Only Your Friends
Try And Make Me Think That You're Mine Again
And I Don't Mind, I Don't Mind
I Don't Mind, I Don't Want The Worry
I Ain't Got TheTime
Oh Ain't That Something That Kind Of Talk
You Don't Understand What I'm Trying To Say Woman
I Don't Care If That Ain't What You Planned
I Know You Wanna Talk It Over One More Time
Last Time Nothing In Any Way
You Wouldn't Even Listen To A Word I'd Say
I Don't Mind, I Don't Mind
I Don't Mind, I Don't Want The Worry
And I Ain't Got The Time
I Don't Care About Anything
What Do You Figure That Gal Wants

Ain't got no money but I don't give a damn
'Cause when I get it I spend it as fast as I can
Ain't got no worries at least none as I can see
Got to make a fast connection then I'll be free, I gotta
Break out and leave this life behind
Break out and see what I can find
Might lose I'm gonna try my luck
Might win don't really give a fuck
And I've gotta try because I've gotta know
If I'm a winner and the star of the show
Can't stand routine for another day
Rules and regulations getting in my way, I gotta
Break out and leave this life behind
Break out and see what I can find
Might lose, I'm gonna try my luck
Might win, don't really give a fuck and I
Won't let anyone put me down
I ain't gonna be nobody's clown
I won't be taken in by their promises, no
I'm gonna try on my terms this time
So if I can do it you can do it too
Why don't you try it, you got nothing to lose?
A boring job, living day to day-to-day
Do something different try to break away, I gotta
Break out and leave this life behind
Break out and see what I can find
Might lose, I'm gonna try my luck
Might win don't really give a fuck
Break out and leave this life behind
Break out and see what I can find
Might lose, I'm gonna try my luck and I
Might win, don't really give a fuck
Breakout
Breakout
Oh, oh

55 years ago today, Marc Bolan and T. REX unleashed Electric Warrior, an album that helped change the sound, attitude and look of rock music forever.
From Get It On to Cosmic Dancer, and Jeepster, this album is pure Bolan magic.
55 years later, ELECTRIC WARRIOR still shines...βπΈ
