Stomp the Damned Catbox?

There is this Cingular cell phone/mp3 player commercial that has been driving me nuts for about three months now. Two guys are walking down the way listening to The Clash's "Rock the Casbah." One of them is mangling the lyrics when another guy suggests that maybe the line in question is "Stomp the Catbox."


Look, I am a reasonable man. But if you are listening to the Clash -- if you downloaded The Clash onto your phone -- and the lyrics of arguably the biggest hit The Clash had are troubling you, how about looking at the freaking song title? But really, "stomp the catbox"? Someone at Cingular needs to be beaten with a bagful of batteries in Casino Royale-torture-style.

and the song sounds NOTHING like "Stomp the catbox" If anything, it sounds like "Rosh the cash bar"

I mean "ROCK the cash bar." Rosh? my bad.

Doc --
I'm glad to see someone join me in my petty outrage over inconsequential matters!
