Talk about making a statement for MTV!
The Clash's 1982 album, "Combat Rock", produced its first single, "Rock The Casbah", but the visuals were not what you might've expected. A wandering armadillo, a Hasidic limo driver partying with a Muslim, and one of the band members reading a DC Limited Collectors Edition compilation of classic Dick Tracy.
The story is that guitarist Mick Jones was not in a good mood when the video shoot started, hence the camo hat & mask until being removed by singer Joe Strummer. Drummer Topper Headden left the band after the album was recorded, so another drummer is keeping time in the clip.
