Lyrics
Charlie don't surf and we think he should
Charlie don't surf and you know that it ain't no good
Charlie don't surf for his hamburger momma
Charlie's gonna be a napalm star
Everybody wants to rule the world
Must be something we get from girls
One truth is we never learn
Satellites will make space burn
We've been told to keep the strangers out
We don't like them starting to hang around
We don't like them all over town
Across the world we are going to blow them down
Charlie don't surf and we think he should
Charlie don't surf and you know that it ain't no good
Charlie don't surf for his hamburger momma
Charlie's gonna be a napalm star
The reign of the super powers must be over
So many armies can't free the earth
Soon the rock will roll over
Africa is choking on their Coca Cola
It's a one a way street in a one horse town
One way people starting to brag around
You can laugh, put them down
These one way people gonna blow us down, 'coz
Charlie don't surf and we think he should
Charlie don't surf and you know that it ain't no good
Charlie don't surf for his hamburger momma
Charlie's gonna be a napalm star
Charlie don't surf he'll never learn
Charlie don't surf though he's got a gun
Charlie don't surf think that he should
Charlie don't surf we really think that he should
Charlie don't surf, Charlie don't surf
Charlie don't surf and we think he should
Charlie don't surf and you know that it ain't no good
Charlie don't surf for his hamburger momma
Charlie don't surf
Charlie don't surf and we think he should
Charlie don't surf and you know that it ain't no good
Charlie don't surf for his hamburger momma
Charlie's don't surf

I remember hearing The Clash for the first time in my isolate Northern town. I went out the next day, bought the double album London Calling and cut my hair like Joe Strummer. I bought this triple album at the same store a couple years later. It still holds up 4 decades later. The only band that matters.

[@alanmalcheski8882]

oh yeah well I got the quadruple album and it can hold up my tv, and the DVD player.

[@koyamishishi]

When it came out it passed our acid test ... If a record still sounded great after embarking on a trip it was a keeper this one was one of my faves of 1980

[@eleonoreo.4269]

Reason #556 of why I love The Clash: They took an off the wall statement by Ltc. Kilgore and turned it into an amazing song. I can never hear this without being transported directly into Apocalypse Now! Rock on! Miss you Joe!

[@verdun16]

Apocalypse Now will always be the be the best movie of all time in my opinion.

[@Trve_Kvlt]

​@verdun16 I watch it at least once a year, if not more, along with basically every Tarantino movie. Besides the first Godfather, Apocalypse Now is Copolla's masterpiece.

[@davidgilmour802]

Growing up a young punk the Clash soon became my favourite and this heavily slagged album was, and still is my favourite, even nearly 40 years later,a musical masterpiece,never surpassed. The baseline never tires.

[@francisconavarro669]

After 39 years after I first heard it, still feels so fresh, and more than that, something that you can listen now and think that its like the new thing, you know?... a feeling I rarely find in music that gets me excited in a cool way.

Toppers 50s early Rock on Roll kick on this Track is what makes it. Topper the Human Drum Machine. It's reminiscent of a sort of buddy Holly vibe with the way Topper kicks that beat with the others falling in. Very visual. Topper Legend
