Short intro

The Ballad of Peter Pumpkinhead is a song written by Andy Partridge of XTC for their 1992 album Nonsuch. It was their second number one hit on the Modern Rock Tracks chart after Mayor of Simpleton, and reached number 71 on the UK Singles Chart. The song tells the story of Peter Pumpkinhead, a man who comes to an unspecified town, spreading wisdom and cash around. He is extremely popular with the public, but extremely unpopular with the government. In the end, he is nailed to wood by his enemies. Ballad Of Peter Pumpkinhead - XTC.
