Let's play some Clash trivia - - the winner gets a star or

[JimmyJazz]

tells me who gets a star!

There will be ten questions - don't google - that's so not fair.

Question one: What's the song about a song?

[Magrittes Pipe]

1. Complete Control

They said "release 'Remote Contol'"
But we didn't want it on the label.

[JimmyJazz]

2. Correct!

What does the expression "like trousers, like brain" mean

[Magrittes Pipe]

4. Something about the meaning getting lost in the fashion.

It's been a while.

[JimmyJazz]

6. No - it's more simple than that - you could tell the type of music

people were into based on what they were wearing - teddies, mods, rockers...

But, no one else got it either. I'll post the next question to my original post.

[Longgrain]

3. DA-YUM you're just asking for a Bob Dylan

trivia contest aren't you...:P

[JimmyJazz]

5. you gotta give away a star, though -- skinner told me to tell you that!

[Longgrain]

7. I've already done that several times already

I don't need a new one until next Nov. so there...:P

[JimmyJazz]

8. What is the song about almost getting killed while trying to purchase weed

in Jamaica?

[Magrittes Pipe]

9. Safe European Home

[JimmyJazz]

10. Should I just give this to you now? No one else wants to challenge you!

NAW -

Name a song about Joe's heroin addicted girlfriend.

[Magrittes Pipe]

11. Hateful?

[JimmyJazz]

12. No - DENY

How about a song about trying to score drugs while in a night club...

[Magrittes Pipe]

14. Well, "I'm the all night drug-prowling wolf"....

But "(White Man) in Hammersmith Palais" is more about the Brit reggae scene than scoring in clubs. Dunno.

[JimmyJazz]

16. Correct!

In Junco Partner - Joe mentions the name of his longtime girlfriend and eventual wife - what name is that (hey, you gotta work for this one)

[Magrittes Pipe]

18. Gabriella

[JimmyJazz]

20. Did you google?

Okay - this one is easy (and I have to go see what number we are on)

Who is this and who took this pic:

[Magrittes Pipe]

21. No, I pulled out my copy of "Sandinista" and listened to the last verse.

It's Paul Simonon, but I don't know who took the pic. Annie Liebowitz?

[JimmyJazz]

23. No - Pennie Smith - you've got 5 right so far - should I make you work

for this star?

Oh what the hell - I'm enjoying this!

Who is the "guest narrator" on Ghetto Defendant.

[Magrittes Pipe]

24. Alan Ginsburg

Not sitting pretty.

[JimmyJazz]

28. Correct - Again I'll post to my original

[CrownPrinceBandar]

25. Allen Ginsberg.

[JimmyJazz]

27. Correct!

My next question will be to my original post.

[CrownPrinceBandar]

29. Ha Cha Cha...................

Couldn't let hedges get 'em all.

[FarLeftRage]

13. Another one for ya...

Which Clash song am I listening to now?

Clues: It's from a box set and it's about VietNam.

[Magrittes Pipe]

15. Straight to Hell

[FarLeftRage]

19. Yes!

Someone get this man a star.

[JimmyJazz]

17. Straight to Hell

[FarLeftRage]

22. Yes!!

And ya know what, I can't listen to a Clash song without thinking about you... I wonder why??

Could you tell me the name of the last track on disc 3 of The Clash on Broadway?

[JimmyJazz]

26. Street Parade?

[miss_kitty]

31. ennnnh!

Straight to Hell, sweetie

On edit: followed by Street Parade...:P

[JimmyJazz]

37. It's Street Parade - Trust Me!

[miss_kitty]

43. check my edit

ennnnh on ME! :D

[FarLeftRage]

33. I don't know

It follows the song "Straight To Hell"...

[miss_kitty]

40. oh hell I just read the track listing. I'll play it

gotta some editing to do-it IS street Parade...

[JimmyJazz]

46. You doubted *moi* - Piffle on you and a pox on your house!

:P

[miss_kitty]

53. i know. I saw that and thought "Jeebus! JJ making a Clash mistake?"

I should have known better, as the Beatles would say.

[JimmyJazz]

30. True or False?

The Clash issued London Calling as a double album and Sandinista as a triple album because they thought it would count as five albums toward a ten album contract.

[Magrittes Pipe]

32. False

They were just so damn prolific at the time. Hell, they were so prolific that "Train in Vain" ended up on LC after the labels were printed; thusly becoming one of the first "hidden tracks" ever.

[JimmyJazz]

34. Wrong em boyo

That is TRUE!

[Magrittes Pipe]

36. Cheap bastards.

[JimmyJazz]

38. I like your star and your hershey kiss avatar!

You earned it!

[Magrittes Pipe]

39. Did you arrange that?

If so, :yourock:

[JimmyJazz]

42. Did you not read the title on this thread?

Besides, isn't that the ultimate in irony?

[Magrittes Pipe]

45. Dunno how ironic it is... but thanks anyway!

:hi:

[JimmyJazz]

48. Meh - I was gettin' tired of seeing you nekkid.

:P

You're welcome.

[JimmyJazz]

41. Who? The record company totally screwed them and they thought

they had found a loop hole - apparently they didn't have lawyers or something :silly:

[miss_kitty]

35. train in Vain was gonna be one of those cheapie bonus singles

in NME or Melody Maker, IIRC..

[JimmyJazz]

44. Do you have a copy of the NME mag where they reprinted all the

Clash articles? If not, I have an extra to send you.

[miss_kitty]

47. I used to

I think I sent it to my pal Peter in England who is a die hard fan...

[miss_kitty]

49. Notice how people start telling you what to and what not to post in the

lounge? It's pretty narrowed down already. I supposed if I told THEM to stop it, it would be hypocritical of me. :P Just sayin'.

[miss_kitty]

50. did someone win?

:D

[JimmyJazz]

51. No - apparently, in the interest of fairness, I have to give out 64,000

stars :P

[miss_kitty]

52. I am so lucky to have such wealthy, generous friends...

:7

OnEdit: My spelling sucks to day. more like proofreading for typos...
