This is a review about "Should I Stay or Should I Go" by The Clash band
This creative song is called "Should I Stay or Should I Go" by "The Clash" (Well Known English Punk Rock Band), the song was written by Topper Headon, Mick Jones, Paul Simonon, Joe Strummer in 1981 and released one year later. The lead vocal was performed by Mick Jones and backing vocals were sung by Joe Strummer and Joe Ely which were singing the translation of the song in the Spanish language.
though people were thinking that this song is about Mick Jones leaving the band or his relationship with Ellen Foley (American Musician/Singer) but Mick Jones said in an interview that this song was not about anything and anyone specific but it was just a cool song and they enjoyed performing it with the band and there were not any of those stories behind it.
In the first part of the song, it is only the lead vocalist singing the song in English language but for the second part there are Spanish back vocals added, the whole song was recorded without stop and redo, and as the back vocalist also said about their time in the studio, they were having fun there and suddenly they jump in front of the lead vocalist to make him scared and that's where he shouts: split! and they run back to their place to keep singing back vocals, but they didn't cut out that part and that's why we can hear "Split" in the middle of the song :D.
I think the most important thing about this song is their creative idea to sing translated back vocals in Spanish and also their experimental studio record which we didn't remove anything and let it all be live and the way it was.
