Inappropriate language[edit]

"Ellen Reid is the bands keyboard player, and backup vocalist. Ellen is also known for giving ideas for the Crash Test Dummies' music videos, such as the Supermans Song video. She was the one who dreamed up the idea of having the video take place at Superman's funeral. This is one of my favorite videos. She also put a few ideas into Swimming In Your Ocean to name a few.

On the dummies forth album Ellen did lead vocals on three tracks, Just Chillin', Get You In The Morning, and A Little Something. She also shared lead vocals with Brad on the b-side tracks - Filter Queen, and Party's Over. Of course she was known in the past to do a little lead singing. She had a song on CTD's first demo tape, titled, Fundies Never Have Fun On Sundays. It never made it to their first album for some odd reason. Aside from that she's did a few songs during some live shows, If I Had My Way, and of course the hit, The Ballad Of Peter Pumpkinhead - a cover of an XTC song, and All You Pretty Girls."

Language[edit]

Regarding the above valid comments, I have rewritten this article, removing the copious POV, and including references and more 'neutral' encyclopedic text. It still needs more work from someone closer to the subject matter than I (not fancruft though, please).
