Mickey Mouse is dead is a subhumans song

And if you actually listened to both bands you would know that

yes well someone told me to check out some stuf by Crass so I did it on Limewire....it came up with the wrong title but I still liked the song....
No need to insult me, how was I supposed to know? I was checking out Crass for the first time....

ive listened to both crass and subhumans for years, and i remember finding mickey mouse is dead - crass on kazaa so I had to download it thinking it was something i havent heard, but it was subhumans. Dicks vocals can sometimes sound ALOT like Steve Ignorant, so I can see someone who is not familiar with the songs getting the two confused. Smash the Mack by Crass does have mention Mickey Mouse -
"The bricks of our world
That you cover in plastic
Will sail through your plate-glass windows.

E.T. go home...
E.T. go home...

Mickey Mouse fuck off."

Maybe thats where this whole thing started? who knows, but Crass were more than a band, they were activists who protested through poetry (check out Eve Libertine, or Joy De Vivre's writing styles) Ten Notes on A Summers Day is one of the most original albums ever created. No band to this day (with the exception of Submission Hold) has been able to recreate that style. (submission hold though, are far superior musicians and singers, but the concept is the same)

will do.....thanx!

If it was yer first time checking them out then I can understand but I figured out the song wasn't by crass after the first few times I listenend to it

I think its pretty safe to say discharge has created just as large phenomenon with thre music as cras did. But I agree that even though discharge may be very influential they didnt bring about the "true" arts I.e. poetry, paintings, collage style. But they certainly have the band following crass has.

the not so official crass thread

i heart crass
