Thank you my friend SGT (Join to see) for posting the official music video of The Clash performing London Calling in honor of the birth of Nicky 'Topper' Headon on May 30, 1955
Happy 66th birthday Nicky 'Topper' Headon!


London Calling written by John Mellor, Michael Geoffrey, Nicholas Bowen Headon, Paul Gustave Jones Simonon

The Clash
London calling to the faraway towns
Now war is declared and battle comes down
London calling to the underworld
Come out of the cupboard, you boys and girls
London calling, now don't look to us
Phony Beatlemania has bitten the dust
London calling, see we ain't got no swing
'Cept for the ring of that truncheon thing
The ice age is coming, the sun's zooming in
Meltdown expected, the wheat is growing thin
Engines stop running but I have no fear
'Cause London is drowning and I, I live by the river

London calling to the imitation zone
Forget it, brother, you can go it alone
London calling to the zombies of death
Quit holding out and draw another breath
London calling and I don't wanna shout
But while we were talking, I saw you nodding out
London calling, see we ain't got no high
Except for that one with the yellowy eyes
The ice age is coming, the sun's zooming in
Engines stop running, the wheat is growing thin
A nuclear era but I have no fear
'Cause London is drowning and I, I live by the river
The ice age is coming, the sun's zooming in
Engines stop running, the wheat is growing thin
A nuclear era but I have no fear
'Cause London is drowning and I, I live by the river

Now get this

London calling, yes, I was there too
And you know what they said?
Well, some of it was true
London calling at the top of the dial
And after all this, won't you give me a smile?
London calling

I never felt so much a'like a'like a'like"
One The Clash song certainly deserves a couple more IMHO.

LTC Stephen F. Like the song and musical background, but in my sole non-singer opinion, I don't think that lead singer can carry a note. Different lead and this might be a chart buster.
