Yes, I believe you’re right about “Don’t Lose My Number”. But the beat on that song is nowhere near as ominous as the one for “Janie” (which is a far inferior song). So a four year old can handle it, I think, but not really understand. Whereas with “Janie”, it’s pretty freaking explicit. I mean, they found him underneath the train…

And regarding “Rock the Casbah”, why would the sharif care if something was not kosher? Clearly, the Clash (while one of my favorite bands of all time) has no knowledge of Arabic culture.

also – to explain a little further – my siblings are all 10 years older than me, so at age 2 I was exposed to The Clash and Sex Pistols, because they thought it would be funny for me to go up to our grandparents and sing “Rock the Casbah” to them.

yes, and I STILL know all the words to “Billie don’t you lose my number” (most underrated PC song)…which I think is about a fugitive going on the run (correct me if I’m wrong)…and is probably just as appropriate as giving a 4 year old a copy of “Janie’s Got a Gun”.

someone gave you “no jacket required” when you were 4? seriously? i think that’s cooler than my claim (true) that “appetite for destruction” was my favorite album when i was seven. and i barely knew english back then.

and I applaud you for that. mainly, I applaud that you have made me spend the day considering how getting a vinyl “No Jacket Required” for Christmas when I was 4,truly changed my Phil Collins appreciation level.
