Rock El Casbah
Great cover by Algerian rocker Rachid Taha - apparently in Melbourne this week. He had Brian Eno up on stage singing this one with him in Sydney. And who wouldn't!

It's a sure bet that this version will end up doing the rounds of the Hafla's.
Love to see the routines the belly dancers would come up with.
Thanks for the link Eric.

Always loved the original - but this one possibly even eclipses it! Excellent!

I think that could be an interesting separate thread i.e mis-heard lyrics. I imagine there would be some corkers for James Reyne songs

Damn you Eric!@@&!&!!!!!

I can't get Casbah out of my head now! This happened years ago when it came out and it took ages to dissappear.

"da da da da daa daaa...Rock the Casbah......Rock the Casbah..."

"da da da da daa daaa...Rock the Casbah......Rock the Casbah..."

"da da da da daa daaa...Rock the Casbah......Rock the Casbah..."

"da da da da daa daaa...Rock the Casbah......Rock the Casbah..."

"da da da da daa daaa...Rock the Casbah......Rock the Casbah..."
