Interesting... an early version of Rock the Casbah.

Its just a Dance Remix of Rock the Casbah

Eh. Yeah, it does sound like a remix of it, not an early version. I thought it was an early version because it had less lyrics, apparently I'm wrong.

i don't think you get it punker_ken, a remix is about rearranging/adjusting/adding sounds in an interesting way. This is Mick Jones' attempt at being Lee Perry, twiddling the knobs and such. I think he did a pretty good job. The original spirit of the song is there, and bringing up the bongos in the mix is a nice touch. Perhaps you're too used to hearing the original radio version...give it another listen.

This is really cool, an early remix (not of this song, i mean an early remix if you know what im gettin at). It's in the history boys film, where i heard it first, and i thought it was the original wen i saw it, 'cause they use the begining, middle chorus-y part, and the end when they are revising/doing their exams for oxbridge really suits the part of the film, so great

this song nescessitates the invention of the word Bastardise

    Bastardise (BASS-TER-DYE-ZE)
       VERB TO MAKE SUCK TO TERMINATE TERM OF COOLNESS 

IE THIS SONG IS A BASTARDISED VERSION OF ROCK THE CASBAH
