Stop the presses. Press the stoppers. Damn the torpedoes and speed the ducks, it’s Comeback Pete’s epic Mankind single, remixed by Eric Din! That’s right kittins, with the formidable foot of Larry Lynch on a live kick drum, and Mr. Din himself on a real live Fender bass! Pete’s timeless message remains, more urgent than ever, we must save the earth my friends or there ain’t anything else to be saving. Lyrics in the vid. Music by John Philip Sousa, lyrics by Pete, vocals by a choir of earthlings and a duck. Berkeley Cat Records is proud to present, Mankind, the Remix! Free to play and share at will.
In Pete’s own words:
“I didn’t plan to write a patriotic song, but both of the other songs that I recorded were in the “P’ as a first letter” genre (porn and psilent) so stretched further by the bicentennial in 1976. I was so sure I was stating the obvious, I never performed this song publicly, and now it’s 45 years later, I question. Was that a mistake? Now I realize we live in the Dark Ages. Eric has currently remixed this song about our endangered planet for the better and released it on Berkeley Cat Records.”
