Off of The Clash’s debut album of the same name, “What’s My Name” is one of the most explosive tracks on the LP. With a brief but powerful chorus, The Clash commands the listener into hearing out the life of crime they’ve committed.

The song’s hook itself could hold numerous meanings, though the song brings up topics often employed in New Wave tracks. From Blondie to The Police, many emerging artists would raise the situation of stalking in their music; The Clash, however, were among the first.

Though the song would fail to make waves in the music industry as their later music would, it would appear on the US release of The Clash. It’s track position, though, would change from being the sixth track on the UK version to the eleventh track on the American release.
