The Ballad Of Peter Pumpkinhead:XTC

Artist: XTC

Album: Nonsuch

Appears On (Mixes):

Song Notes: Another relatively popular XTC single, this was from their last album for Virgin. It's basically about any particular martyr figure, though the music video makes some odd comparisons between Jesus and JFK. It's also about a Jack-O-Lantern Andy Partridge had carved for his daughter. This one also had a bit of success as terrible Canadian band Crash Test Dummies covered it for the Dumb And Dumber soundtrack. - Rev. Syung Myung Me
