Tune of the Day - "My daddy was a bankrobber..."

Released as a single on 8 August, 1980, "Bankrobber" never found its way onto any of the Clash's studio albums. The song appears to be about the singer's father who was a bankrobber but on the bigger picture I think it's about the working classes having jobs with zero fulfillment, and how life's too short to spend time working in a shit job that you hate.

Interestingly, ex-Stone Roses frontman Ian Brown is said to have been in attendance when the song was recorded in the studio.

Not one of their best, but an ace song no less.
