Steel Pulse - Steppin Out

Speaking of 1001 Nights related music, there is a ton with references to it.

Steel Pulse's Steppin Out comes to mind, but apart from throwing in the words "Aladdin" and "genie" and "open sesame" not sure how it relates, although that seems par for the course (everything to do with the Nights seems just a matter of referencing its name).

Here's the song on youtube:

And here are the lyrics:

Steel Pulse - Steppin Out

CHORUS
Steppin' out, steppin' out
Steppin' out, steppin' out
Open says a me, here comes Rasta man
Abracadabra me seh, catch me if you can

I know
You'll find it hard to believe that
I am
The genie of your lamp and
I can do anything you wish but
Right now I am commanding you to dance

CHORUS
Steppin' out, steppin' out
Invisible music
Beam me up to the cradle of sound
(riddle me this)
You cannot see it
Nowhere on Earth
Can this reggae be found

I know
You'll find it hard to believe that
l am
The genie of your lamp and
I can
Do anything you wish but
Right now
I am commanding you to dance
BRIMSTONE HURRICANE CYCLONE
Ask me this I tell you why
I know
You'll find it hard to believe that
I am
The genie of your lamp and
I can
Do anything you wish but
Right now
I am commanding you to dance

CHORUS

Steppin' out, steppin' out
Journey through the tunnel of love
Wisdom is respected hatred is rejected
On the planet dread it rains dub
Climb Alladin's ladder hotter reggae hot
Open says a me
Here comes Rasta man
Abracadabra me seh
Open says a me
Here comes Rasta man
Abracadabra
Catch me if you can hey
Steppin' out, says I'm steppin' out
I know I am I can right now I'm steppin
highest heights and hottest hot
Rasta this and Dreadlocks that
On the move I just can't stop
I'm in the groove and I just can't stop
Cause I'm
In love with JAH music
Invisible music.
