Strummer later recorded overdubs for the vocals that follow Vinyl's interruption, and Mick Jones overdubbed an electric sitar onto the track. Vinyl was worried that the band would be upset about him interrupting their perfect take, but the pre-planned interruption ended up adding to the charm of the recording.
The band continued playing, with a take of three minutes and 50 seconds. However, Strummer felt the band was on fire with this take and spat his retort of "Ok, ok! Don't push us when we're hot!" in time to the rhythm. Clash vocalist Joe Strummer asked Vinyl to stop the recording at that point in the song - something that Vinyl did by announcing the time to the band through the studio intercom: "All right, time's up! Let's have you out of there!". Prior to recording the song, the members of the Clash had been speaking to their associate Kosmo Vinyl, who believed that the ideal length for a single was two minutes and 58 seconds. The Clash version īritish band The Clash released a cover of "Armagideon Time" as the B-side for their " London Calling" single in 1979. The song was sampled by KRS-One on the track "Black Cop" from his 1993 album Return of the Boom Bap, and by Fugees on the track "Zealots" from their 1996 album The Score.

The song was featured in the 1999 Jim Jarmusch's film Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai, and appeared in the 2004 video game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas on the fictional reggae radio station K-JAH Radio West (but wasn't included on the soundtrack album).
