The song wascovered by Canadian groupCrash Test Dummies in 1994 for thesoundtrack to the filmDumb and Dumber. Crash Test Dummies' version is notable in that it was their first of two singles to featureEllen Reid on lead vocals; it differs slightly from XTC's version, omitting the second verse. The video was filmed inNathan Phillips Square, home to City Hall, inToronto,Ontario; fans of the band were invited to an open casting by VJs onMuchMusic.

It featuresJeff Daniels reprising his role of Harry Dunne fromDumb and Dumber. In the video, Harry falls and gets aJack-o'-lantern stuck on his head. In his struggle to get it off, he foils a bank robbery and becomes a media sensation. However, he is unfairly found guilty of the bank robbery and narrowly avoids being hanged (he is saved by the pumpkin, which is placed on his head before he's put in the noose). It ends with a spoof of the religious imagery in the original video, as Harry's followers (oblivious to him having survived) venerate him as a martyr and establish the "Church of the Latter-Day Pumpkinheads" where they don Jack-o'-lantern masks, ape Harry's struggle to remove the pumpkin stuck to his head, and takecommunion of pumpkin seeds and wine sipped from a pumpkin stem.
