I remember dancing to this song when it came out. Some punk poured a glass of beer over my head. He was so disgusted with the song. They made "London’s burning" he said. And now they have sold out, making a pop record.
I still like it. But it is true, overusage can kill every song.

I think it's just a super cool and distinctive pop rock record. I mean it's so cool the way it just marches out and starts off with such a simple direct and almost militaristic lock step strut. Also "London" and "London CALLING" so people hear that and are like "oh! Like they're in England now! Sweeeeeet!

Has anyone else noticed how often the song London Calling is uses in tv shows and movies where Americans travel to England?
It's a dark song yet has been used in light hearted things like Friends, what a girl wants with Amanda bynes (don't judge me...)
And a few others. Why that song? Is it the most affordable to use? I don't get it but it's interesting nevertheless
