Supernature (Cerrone song)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Supernature is the title track of Cerrone's 1977 album. "Supernature (Cerrone III)", along with the tracks "Give Me Love" and "Love is Here", hit #1 on the disco/dance charts early in 1978.[1] The single crossed over to both the pop charts, where it peaked at #70 (#8 in the UK) and the soul charts, where it peaked at #72.[2] The lyrics were written by a young Lene Lovich, though she was not credited.[3] The song has an environmental theme, imagining a future in which the use of artificial chemicals in agriculture has caused "creatures down below" to emerge and "take their sweet revenge" against mankind.
