The opening line of "Taking off his turban, they say is this man a Jew?" is commonly misunderstood, with some people claiming it was anti-Semitic. It was apparently also briefly known as For F-ks Sake, before the lyrics were added and the title of Clampdown (a shortening of Working for the Clampdown) was settled on. Joe Strummer claims that the "nuclear meltdown at Three Mile Island got me started" on this song.

Clampdown" is a single and a song by The Clash from their album London Calling. The song began as an instrumental track called "Working and Waiting". It is sometimes called "Working for the Clampdown" which is the main lyric of the song, and also the title provided on the album's lyric sheet. The 'clampdown' can therefore be read as a figure of dread for the Clash's generation - and the song stands as a warning to the youth to beware being part of the problem rather than of the solution. In 1980 "Clampdown" was released as a single backed with "The Guns of Brixton" in Australia. The single was not released in any other territories, with the exception of US promos.
