I don't know if this is where the Clash got it, but it is a quote from Apocolypse Now.
the nutsy Colonel is picking a place to insert the hero in the delta and a trooper reminds that the pointy is held by "Charlie" (Viet Cong)
The Colonel shouts back, "Charlie don't surf!"
What is the name of the Bloomberg theme tune?

Great tune...the Clash were IT back in the day. Joe Strummer was the man.

Saw them open for The Who twice, once at Shea Stadium. Sad that Strummer died so young.
