    Disobeying and doing something you belive is right even though it isnt legal. Comes from the [Clash] song of the same name, which was about playing rock music even though it was banned by the [Ayatollah]
    Also, this was the first rock song played in Iran in ten years after the Shah was removed from his trone. It was played by on the American Army radio and became an anthem for the army during the first Gulf War.

        The Clash song also makes references to the cordoned off Arab areas of European colonial holdings. Rock the Casbah has been said to be a reference to the anti-imperialist movements in colonial nations as well as the banning of music in Persian and Arab nations.
