Classic track.

The Title Track Was Inspired by a Nuclear Incident
While the song “London Calling” is known for addressing social unrest, unemployment, and racial conflict in the UK, it was partially influenced by a specific event: the nuclear accident at Three Mile Island in Pennsylvania in March 1979. This incident raised fears of a nuclear disaster, which seeped into the album’s apocalyptic tone, with the title track reflecting those anxieties.
