The Magnificent (song)
"The Magnificent" is a 1995 song by the One World Orchestra (Bill Drummond and Jimmy Cauty, better known as The KLF), recorded for the War Child charity compilation, The Help Album.
The song—One World Orchestra's sole release—is a drum 'n' bass cover version of the theme from The Magnificent Seven, with vocal contributions from the Belgradian counter-culturist DJ Fleka of Serbian radio station B92.
The track was used by B92 as a jingle and, in 1996, it became recognised as a protest song against the Serbian government of Slobodan Milošević.

Famous quotes containing the word magnificent:
“We that had loved him so, followed him, honored him,
Lived in his mild and magnificent eye,
Learned his great language, caught his clear accents,
Made him our pattern to live and to die!”
