What Andy said about it was " I just started writing about this perfect sort of jesusy character who just happened to have a pumpkin for a head." lol

Thanks for info. Peter Pumpkinhead. John F. Kennedy. Same # of syllables, though. Maybe how it started.

no. from the book "xtc song and stories"-it came from an attempt to write a bob dylan style epic. stuck for a subject, he used the rotting remains of his childrens jack o lantern that was sitting on a post outside the shed studio.

oh and listen to love on a farm boys wages. early xtc and wonderful.

i understand what you are saying but peter pumpkinghead was the first really big song. they were playing it on pop radio stations.(how embaressing) i first heard about xtc when i was 22 in 1987. and then i went back and listened to everything they did before and i was so very impressed. i compare andy partridge with brian wilson. both have musical genius and problems. right??

i'm just saying I live in Bosotn, US and we heard about XTC with Nigel but Senses definately got big time on MTV first, so it was everywhere. Cheers.

peter pumpkinhead is the video that was popular on mtv and the song that was popular on the radio. but anyone who has ever listened to xtc knows that there is so much more to hear. i love senses working overtime. keep listening to everything you can find that they have done. amazing shit.
