Fred Armisen Reprised His Brilliant Punk Alter-Ego Ian Rubbish, And Interviewed The Clash

Earlier this year, Fred Armisen (of Saturday Night Live and Portlandia fame) merged his comedic chops with his musical chops in a now classic SNL skit where he played an aging British punk rocker named Ian Rubbish, lead singer of The Bizarros, and writer of the hit songs ‘C*#! In A Crown’, and, more controversially, ‘Hey Maggie Thatcher, You’re Alright’.

Overnight, Armisen reprised the character for an actual, real-life interview with The Clash’s Mick Jones and Paul Simonon. Mainly, he spent the whole time pointing out the uncanny similarities between both bands (“‘Sandinista’. When this record come out, we put one out called ‘Acapulco.'”), but somehow Jones and Simonon also agreed to join him for an impromptu jam of The Bizarros classic, ‘Hey Policeman!’.

You’ll be chanting “My boot goes in your face!” for the rest of the day.
