about this song
This describes the life and death of John F. Kennedy in the form of a fable. He was as good as deified which the song describes. The title refers to his head exploding like a smashed pumpkin when he was shot. XTC is solely a studio band and has not toured since the very early '80s due to Andy Partridge's extreme stage fright, which unpleasantly manifested at the very beginning of their first American tour (supporting their English Settlement album).
