BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1986

In 1986 Nina Hagen and Lene Lovich teamed up to record this protest song for animal rights. These two women deliver a song that is infectiously danceable, yet puts forth a very strong message. The song originally appeared on the compilation album Animal Liberation (1987) and later on Tame Yourself (1991) both to benefit PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals).
