"Pressed Rat and Warthog" is a song performed by the band Cream on their Wheels of Fire (1968) album. The song was distinctive because it was sung by drummer Ginger Baker, not usual singers Jack Bruce and Eric Clapton. When Cream held their reunion concerts at Royal Albert Hall on May 2, 3, 5 and 6 in 2005, the song was added to the lineup despite it never being performed live before. The song garnered rave applause from the Royal Albert Hall crowd and was followed by a brief speech by Baker, in which he informed the crowd that "Pressed Rat and Warthog had re-opened their shop" and were selling t-shirts with the band's faces on them, receiving laughter from the crowd.
