You may be surprised that this song is this low in the countdown, but we all have our faults.

In 2015 Choice Hotels decided commercials that featured the title line to entice people to go on vacation would be a good idea. I don't know: do you really want punk fans staying at your hotel and going all Joe Walsh/Keith Moon on you? Or worse, Clash fans who think that was the ultimate sell-out and would go somewhere else out of spite? One thing is for certain: the use of one of the Clash's biggest hits is far more consumer-friendly than their current "badda book, badda boom" nonsense.
