[@josefernandes535]

Boy - cheats the gambling partners. (The Clash ska version referred to record of the English group The Rulers (1967). This is an american "traditional" tune, about gambler cowboys). Boyo: variant of "boy" in Irish; or Welsch, pejorative.

[@danplatton1456]

I was in heaven the day I found out Cavan Grogan and Joe Strummer were pals

[@sidlocksley]

its good just like the original

[@bilbobaggins3464]

Topper Headon undoubtedly was the best musician among them.

[@Shwayzbox]

Incredibly gifted.

[@pauloisobe]

That's not even debatable. But, truth be said, Mick was the master arranger.

[@electricleg207]

Strummer said those very words . Topper could play funk ,jazz etc . He could also play both guitar and piano ,as you probably know he wrote the music to Rock The Casbah and Lightning Strikes.

[@andrewallison5873]

Ginger Baker's love child😅

[@Shwayzbox]

The standard

[@NotAFanAnymore]

Miss ya Joe!

[@user-sf9rv6yq7h]

yes and you cares

[@Life-is-a-Dance]

first Welsh SKA boyo lol

[@duhreetohs2103]

I kind of miss the horns that the album version has but I still really like this. Though, speaking of, did The Clash ever at all tour or at least do a few or so shows with a horn section?

[@ClaudioClashero]

Que bien suena la bateria de Nicky topper Headon

[@Savage.79]

Did somebody notice Joe Strummer guitar broke's one string

[@africafirst7395]

Great! For once, one can hear Mickey on the keys. And Joe strums too hard but stays in tune! :) Great sounds!

[@johnbatali]

"Joe strums too hard..." !

[@Savage.79]

In others words The Clash is the shit

[@vladimirace6679]

pinche rolota de The rulers

#Skapunk

[@user-cl7rq4pm6v]

ベースのピッチが狂ってんなww 違和感ぱないわ

[@jainsworr]

Who was their touring keyboardest?

[@patricktimms198]

***** I believe it is Mick Gallagher who played keyboards with Ian Dury & The Blockheads. He worked on London Calling.

[@duncangerrard6828]

and on "Sandinista"

[@Lunatic4Bizcas]

I've just always had this one question; What the hell is an 'Em Boyo?'

[@SnailerHD]

+Lunatic4Bizcas ye mam

[@fabiopunk1661]

same question here

[@frenchonion3359]

boyo is like saying buddy or little guy kind of in ireland and the uk.. Maybe they just liked how it sounded

[@bbb462cid]

This is actually an uptempo cover of another song but it references other songs as well. Mildly brilliant actually. The question isn't what an "'em boyo" is. It's what is a 'wrong 'em'. This starts to be more clear. To wrong somebody is well known. "Wrong 'em boyo" refers to cheating, deception, underhandedness, etc, directed to people in general. Why do you wrong 'em boyo. It is the 'wrong 'em boyo', it's the circumstance of you doing it again, directed to the person the song is about. 'Why are you such a cheat, a fraud, a liar, a sneak'. It's another case of Clash-ese speak, similar in idea to the lyrics of 'Spanish bombs'.

[@somamusika]
