The Clash – Somebody Got Murdered Lyrics 13 years ago
Joe Strummer: "We got a phone call from Jack Nitzsche and he said 'We need a heavy rock number for this movie with Al Pacino' so I said OK. I went home and there was this guy in a pool of blood out by the car parking kiosk. That night I wrote the lyric. I gave it to Mick and he wrote the tune. We recorded it and Jack Nitzsche never called back."

Excellent song. Top favorite, for sure. There's two live performances, both of which are great, on YouTube and I hope more will be uploaded or somehow shared in the future.

Hey Ignatius13, you might be onto something. Joe was famous for his spliffs--a half weed, half tobacco cigarette.
