Drum machines on any song - especially a Clash song - should be banned.

Does Ivan Meets GI Joe make the cut?

Never struck me as being a drum machine. Is it?

If you google Human Drum Machine and Clash, Topper's name comes up at the top of the search.

Human Drum Machine - read: a man, not a beat box.

Quoting the first link from that Google search:
Topper Headon was once proclaimed “The Human Drum Machine” by producer Sandy Pearlman, who worked on The Clash’s Give ‘Em Enough Rope. His skills soon dissipated however when Headon couldn’t kick his heroin addiction.

I have always loved tunes that stuck it to the suits in the record business. Of course Pink Floyd did this to great effect in Welcome To The Machine and Have a Cigar, but for my money this is the best example of a cynical look at "the business" that has ever been recorded. I especially like the way they spell out the word con in the last verse. Joe Public speaking!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXBY5nJDz_k&feature=related

They said release 'Remote Control'
But we didn't want it on the label
They said, "Fly to Amsterdam"
The people laughed but the press went mad

Ooh ooh ooh someone's really smart
Ooh ooh ooh complete control, that's a laugh

On the last tour my mates couldn't get in
I'd open up the back door but they'd get run out again
At every hotel we was met by the Law
Come for the party - come to make sure!

Ooh ooh ooh have we done something wrong?
Ooh ooh ooh complete control, even over this song

They said we'd be artistically free
When we signed that bit of paper
They meant let's make a lotsa mon-ee
An' worry about it later

Ooh ooh ooh I'll never understand
Ooh ooh ooh complete control - lemme see your other hand!

All over the news spread fast
They're dirty, they're filthy
They ain't gonna last!

This is Joe Public speaking
I'm controlled in the body, controlled in the mind

Total
C-o-n control - that means you!
