Cover art for Veldt lyrics by Simple Minds

An instrumental, overdubbed with animal noises and mumbled threats. The genesis of this much discussed song remains unclear. Whilst the Veldt is the South African prairie, and the chimp impression is by Derek Forbes (bass player) the song was either about these huge expanses of land, or formed around the plot of a Ray Bradbury novel.
