Music *ping*
Gabriel’s first Number 1 hit in the US.
And who did he replace at Number 1? His former band, Genesis’ “Invisible Touch.”
Oh my taking me back!!!
I loved the video
Trump is our sledgehammer!
Yep.
Thanks for this great memory, I was still in my 20s!!
55 this year........
Great vid. Most of his more popular vids were pretty out there and very well done. Still watch them regularly on the Tube. Shock the Monkey is still my fav, tho’. d:^)
The most creative video I ever saw.
I think it started the decline of MTV simply because the producers of videos really couldn’t do much better. That video set the bar so high that it was basically over.
i’m a Genesis and always felt Gabriel was to constipated in his music and performing...the fact he’s uber left wing doesn’t help him with me...
The video that launched my brief adolescent obsession with animation.
Many a bad flipbook, and corny stop motion animation, was created thanks to him.
Great Video. It brings back alot of good memories.

Go watch that video (believe me, it’s worth your time- you will render a “not guilty” verdict)- warning! Morgan James sings with Postmodern Jukebox a lot, as well as having a ton of her own videos- it’s quite easy to follow her off into a YouTube black hole.
What a great song and video. I wonder if whoever produced the video and/or did the animation went on to do anything else noteworthy?
