Topper Headon (The Clash's drummer) actually put down most of the instrumentation for this track while waiting for the band to turn up rehearsals then Joe Strummer knocked up the lyrics in about 20 minutes when he heard it, mad really
For those talking about the "cell phone ringtone", that isn't what it is at all. Back in the early 80s, digital watches were just becoming popular. They even made them play terrible monotone music (could be used as alarms, or you could press two buttons at the same time to play it), and what you here in the song is the very first part of the song "Dixie" (think "way down south in the land of cotton"), which was super popular on these watches. Everyone called them Dixie watches! I am certain of this, because I actually had one. What you hear in the song was definitely on the original track.
”This intro is too long,” ,it's true when you listen to this song in your room, but when you're on the dancefloor and this song flows loud from the speaker, this intro is just the size.
Duly noted. This was a US #5 club hit. This is the reason 12" singles are produced to mix on the dance floor, and single/album versions work for listening enjoyment.
The two and a half minute intro loop would have been the nuts back in 91 and just coming up on a dove......Those who know, know. those who dont---------- you missed out on something special

Especially as I believe he was addicted to heroin at the time
On westway to the world Joe says some of the tracks on sandinista were recorded as they were written , straight down .
@@lopedeaguirre1 heroin gives you superpowers. Then it takes away more after

mojoskye yes but i dont want it there. It kills the vibe and theme of the rythmic gasms.
Malicious Muppet what? It's the best part of the song!
It makes one think how much technology has evolved since then. Pity that other aspects of life haven't.

The first album / era is pure punk but even by give em enough rope iy was a lot more varied influences .
Having a two and a half minute intro doesn't make a remix automatically good.
I was like, "fuck this is long", scrolled down, saw this comment skipped shitty intro.

It does actually automatically make it good.
There is a reason the phone sound was removed from the album apon release. Its fucking horible.
