From Wikipedia: Like many songs by the Clash, the lyrics of "Straight to Hell" decry injustice. The first verse refers to the shutting down of steel mills in Northern England and unemployment spanning generations, it also considers the alienation of non-English speaking immigrants in British society. The second verse concerns the abandonment of children in Vietnam who were fathered by American soldiers during the Vietnam War. The phrase "Amerasian Blues" is used, referring to an Amerasian child with an absent American father, "papa-san". The child has a photograph of his parents, and is pleading with his father to take him home to America. The child's plea is rejected. "-San" is a Japanese rather than Vietnamese honorific, but it was used by US troops in Vietnam who referred to Vietnamese men and women, especially older men and women, as "mama-san" or "papa-san".[citation needed] When Strummer sings of a "Volatile Molotov" thrown at Puerto Rican immigrants in Alphabet City as a message to encourage them to leave, he is referring to the arson that claimed buildings occupied by immigrant communities - notably Puerto Rican - before the area was subject to gentrification.

I still have my original which I purchased with my allowance when it hit the shelves. I was nine years old. Really intense track. It never ever wears itself out on me, even after 41 years.

The song "Paper Planes" IA just one song that samples this song. Straight to Hell partially inspired by the film "Apocalypse Now". Same as Charlie Don't Surf.

I would put in a vote for "Lost in the Supermarket". It is an indictment of commercialism and the sense of hopelessness that permeated England at that time with sky high inflation and record unemployment at the time.

MIA sampled this for her hit Paper Planes. I think she did a good job of not just lifting a sample, and giving that great groove new life,. RIP Joe For recommendations, there are too many. For fun rockabilly, the fast and furious cover of Vince Taylor's "Brand New Cadillac" or the infectious upbeat Ska of The Maytals' "Pressure Drop" shows how much love they have for their roots. They did so many covers, unashamedly. Their soundcheck song, which became their theme, is the instrumental "Gates of The West" by Booker T and the MGs. I also recommend "Ghetto Defendant" which has poetry read by William S. Burroughs.

This song is actually about all the children fathered by American soldiers during the Vietnam War. These unwanted children became outcasts and were horribly abused.

My man likes the song so I subscribe. Easy. Lyrically sombre, musically upbeat and full of rhythm, infact not full of rhythm, only rhythm - with some alienating sounds in the mix. One of the best. I remember listening to his at like 8, feeling sad, wishing they could get coke or go home. Or whatver they wanted.

@grywusiewicz 11 ай бұрын

Very tragic for the American children left behind after the Vietnam War. There were GIs that could not take their children home and had to leave behind loved children that were subject to abuse because they were not of pure Asian blood. It's always the smallest and most vulnerable of us that bear the burden of history. t

@kdphotos4691 4 ай бұрын

Most didn't want to bring them to America. They were GIs sleeping around and then bailing when it was time to go back to the states. The lyrics are an indictment of that behaviour from the American GIs. They still do it all over the world.
