Peter Gabriel has had some big hits, and we played one about a month ago, I think. I was never a fan of many of them. Okay, any of them. Again, not saying he isn’t talented, it’s just that his music isn’t for me. Not even this monster hit from 1986.

Ow! Butt humor is subjective….
Some interesting background on the making of the video:
Gabriel lay under a sheet of glass for 16 hours while filming the video one frame at a time. “It took a lot of hard work,” Gabriel recalled. “I was thinking at the time, ‘If anyone wants to try and copy this video, good luck to them.'”
