... And then this comes on RP just about 9 a.m. on a Monday morning -- just as my work week is gearing up.

These guys shook me out of where rock'n'roll was going, such a departure from the norm. Not a fan at first I grew to love them and this genre, goth, punk, etc, so damn good.

{#Roflol} Was there ever a 12" version back in the day? 

 
"The Magnificent Dance", released on 12 April 1981 by CBS in 12-inch single format, is the dance remix of "The Magnificent Seven". The maxi single was released in the UK featuring an edited version of "The Magnificent Seven" on side-A, and in the U.S., where it was backed with the extended version of "The Cool Out". It is credited to "Pepe Unidos", a pseudonym for Strummer, Paul Simonon and manager Bernie Rhodes. "Pepe Unidos" also produced "The Cool Out", a remix of "The Call Up". This dance version "definitely capitalized on the funky groove of the original, adding in some very cool drumming."

All my early teenage years, trying to self-learn English by rapping on this song, as well as on the instrumental versions of Grandmaster Flash's The Message and Sugarhill's Gang Rapper's Delight. Still having gooseskin when hearing that particular sound of bass and guitar. Eternal.
