The word was popularized in Western cultures in the early 1980s thanks to the song [Rock the Casbah] by British punk band The Clash. The songs lyrics have undergone multiple convoluted interpretations since it was released in 1982. The lyrics of the song are better understood if one knows how the song came to be written. In short, they describe an Arab kings (called a [sharif], a noble who is a direct descendant of the Prophet Muhammad) efforts to stop his subjects from listening to Western music, such as ordering his militarys jet fighters to bomb any people in violation of the ban. The pilots ignore the order, and instead play rock music on their cockpit radios. The population then proceed to [rock the casbah] by dancing to the music. This scenario was inspired by the ban on Western music in Iran after the 1979 Islamic Revolution.Casbah meaning & definition 8 of Casbah.
