ive listened to both crass and subhumans for years, and i remember finding mickey mouse is dead - crass on kazaa so I had to download it thinking it was something i havent heard, but it was subhumans. Dicks vocals can sometimes sound ALOT like Steve Ignorant, so I can see someone who is not familiar with the songs getting the two confused. Smash the Mack by Crass does have mention Mickey Mouse -
"The bricks of our world
That you cover in plastic
Will sail through your plate-glass windows.

E.T. go home...
E.T. go home...

Mickey Mouse fuck off."

Maybe thats where this whole thing started? who knows, but Crass were more than a band, they were activists who protested through poetry (check out Eve Libertine, or Joy De Vivre's writing styles) Ten Notes on A Summers Day is one of the most original albums ever created. No band to this day (with the exception of Submission Hold) has been able to recreate that style. (submission hold though, are far superior musicians and singers, but the concept is the same)
