How could anyone not like Peter boy or how COULD one dislike him too for that matter?? He's such a bundle of joyous colors & whimsically youthful as the kid with the imaginary friend!;) That was me too! I'd come far, seen almost too much, and surpassed most. I suppose those things are the rewarding value of learning early or being mistreated at a longer age. Love all, Matthew P. Simply (Deal)
Dude. I'm 13. I freaking LOVE Peter Gabriel. Songs like this, In Your Eyes and Shaking the Tree are amazing. Ahah, I'm more into stuff like U2, Genesis and Billy Joel... Stuff like that. Sure there's the occasional Lady Gaga, Coldplay or Train, but 80's and 90's music is what I love the most. And you're right. This song is freaking amazing.
Me and a bunch of friends were sitting around smoking weed one night watching MTV when this video premiered. By the end of the video our faces were melting. It was the hippest, coolest video ever!
"...and always their amazed when I show them 'round my house to my bed/I've had it made like a mountain range, a snow white pillow for my big fat head" "hi there!"
So glad that Peter Gabriel wasn't the lead singer in Genesis - it would have changed them all together and we wouldn't have had Peter Gabriel's songs. He's definitely a great solo artist, I always loved his music videos - makes me think of Pee Wee's playhouse!
I watched these videos when I was a little kid, and they've really stayed with me all this time.. I think they've really contributed to the schzophrenia. :D
Oh jesus! The animation is stupendous..A weird creature is emerging from the ground and changes his apperance into a dwarf and a monster ...it was incredible! Big sound.
I'm 17, so I obviously listen to all of today's music, and I like it, but I also love classic tunes like this. I really wish Wrestlemania would do back to some stuff like this rather than have their 3 random songs for this year's Mania.
The point of this song was bang on. He was complaining about all of the yuppies that were popping up in the mid '80's and the culture of greed and empty materiealism which was rearing its ugly head back then. Its basically a rant against all of the Gordon Gecko's in the world. A Legendary song!
i remember when he did Mtv music video awards in the 80's, what mankes me remember it the most though is the fact that Led Zeplin Bass player John Paul Jones was on stage for the performance both of them being in velvet leasure suits with big assed top hats.
John 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
All people in last 2 years is her for that wonderful docu-film. Perfect intro that song evidence the ecstasy for that history-time. Beatiful were a 25/35 old in 1990. The Amercian Dream =( . For a young like me this is bad. God i can born in new life in 1975 :D ahahah!
Peter Gabriel.... além de um grande cantor e compositor é tb um ser formidável... conseguiu letras atuais 50 anos depois... tal como este "big time", "in your eyes" ou "dont give up"... ...peter tu ès grande...razão tem a Sinead O'Connor quando diz que ele é um anjo na terra
I used to drive a Chevrolet S-10. It recently broke down. I decided to get a new truck. I got a Toyota Tundra 4x4 with the biggest engine Toyota makes. When I got my stereo and Kicker 12's installed, I listened to this song first, and louder than hell. I had a giant shit eating grin when I heard the lyric at 3:50. :) "My car is getting bigger"
Amazing - some of the claymation sequences were produced by modeling the animation as a 3D solid and shooting the 2D section slices as they were removed. Imagine the planning involved in just the three singers [3:28] who last only a few seconds. In the 3D block their mouths would have been modeled as a tube that had to widen and narrow in sync with the music, not to mention all the other bits like eyes, teeth and tongue. That's what we'd look like in 4D.
haha i heard this song for years on the radio and such, but yeah watching Inside Job got me back into it !_! Definately an appropriate opening score for the movie.
I love the bass from about 0:41 to 0:57 incredible chops from Tony Levin, (an absolute genius and I'm not using that word lightly), Simon Clark and Jerry Marotta--incredible backing track
i remember when i was in elementary school and i was really into wrestling xD and that when i heard wrestlemania 22 happened and this song played... the song was stuck in my head until the show started X)
When you hit the Big Time and have all the "things" you've ever wanted, I hope you remembered to keep your loved ones close. Without them, those big things will be useless. There may be no one left to invite to that party where you show off all your stuff. No one to swim in your giant pool or to invite to dinner. Every time you look at it you will feel the pain of loneliness.
The great documentary of ''Inside job'' is open with this BIG song :)
+TheBruja031 It works perfectly in that with the footage of New York doesn't it :D
To think this track came out right around the corner of the stockmarket crash, one of the best tracks he ever did, and fresh to this day.
This one was used as the official Wrestlemania 22 (2006) theme! Ive been looking all over for this song because I couldnt remember the title :D
"And my heaven will be a big heaven,
And I will walk through the front door!"
Best lines ever in this song! ;-)
one of the best Wrestlemania's themes
The videos that Peter Gabriel put together in the 80's were always unique; That's why he's respected in the business today. Nice job, Peter!
Came here from "Inside Job" Love the song!
This still kicks ass 26 years later. The bass guitar sounds as fucking kickass as ever. Long live Peter Gabriel!!
I'm on my way, I am making it. :)
what a great song, love it
peter gabriel is truly timeless. one of the greats of our time.
0:41 Bassiest Badass Bass Level 666
An outstanding song among many outstanding songs on an outstanding album. I really think he got shafted at the Grammy's that year...
Peter Gabriel is in Pee Wee's Playhouse
He's trapped! Save him!
Creativity. =) So symbolic of 1986-7. What a great time to grow up! Class of '88! =D!
I wonder what would aliens think of humans if the only thing they got from us is this music video.
Davidvp "This is so alien!" probably.
+davidvp LOL
:Let's get out of here. They're all crazy!!"
fuck!?!!!!
In other words, the same thing a lot of humans are thinking right now!!

peter gabriel is such a genius.... seriously, what an artist! his poppy stuff like this is cool, but if you dig deeper he has some REAL gems!
he is growing up and learning lessons......like we all do. Leave an amazing song writer alone....a writer that has the balls to be honest. jeez.
Thanks to Peter for creating a song with sarcasm. We need more of it!

The song that got me into Peter Gabriel. The first song I heard on the radio and went out and bought. "So" holds up real well, imho.
THIS MAN IS A LEGEND AMONG LEGENDS PETER GABRIEL FTW!!!!
"...and always their amazed when I show them 'round my house to my bed/I've had it made like a mountain range, a snow white pillow for my big fat head"
"hi there!"
Love Peter Gabriel...pure genius!!!
Hands down one the best, if not the best music video ever.
So glad that Peter Gabriel wasn't the lead singer in Genesis - it would have changed them all together and we wouldn't have had Peter Gabriel's songs. He's definitely a great solo artist, I always loved his music videos - makes me think of Pee Wee's playhouse!
Inside job brought me here! Awesome film.... awesome tune!
The way he moves at the beginning it's simply genial !
I don't spend time worrying about trivialities like song lyrics. His musicianship speaks for itself.
The 80's music video's were awesome very creative.
he was always so trippy with his videos...it was nuts to see all of his videos and see how he progressed as an artist
Well, thank you. Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins were giants among their contemporaries...
of the best albums in 80s.......
FROM CHICAGO, ILLINOIS! WELCOME TO WRESTLEMANIA 22!!!!!!
AWESOME SONG!
This larger-than-life song is opening soundtrack to movie "Inside Job" which I saw yesterday. Gives me goosebumps! A bloody good song.
1 of the all time great bass lines right here kiddies....
Reminds me of summer of '86.My uncle was constantly blasting this from his car stereo.
OH GOOOOOD I love Peter Gabriel!!!!!
Always makes me want to go watch old VHS tapes of David Copperfield specials
I watched these videos when I was a little kid, and they've really stayed with me all this time..
I think they've really contributed to the schzophrenia. :D
This was my favorite video and song back in 86!!!
he was just such a cutey!! great song. great bass! great everything!!
1 of our favourite songs of all time....The Kardashian Family anthem...
Oh jesus! The animation is stupendous..A weird creature is emerging from the ground and changes his apperance into a dwarf and a monster ...it was incredible! Big sound.
Fun times...great times (the 80's). That's all:)
I'm 17, so I obviously listen to all of today's music, and I like it, but I also love classic tunes like this. I really wish Wrestlemania would do back to some stuff like this rather than have their 3 random songs for this year's Mania.
The video is almost as fantastic as the song, which is uncommon.
Listened to this groovy never ageing track on the documentary Inside Job. Never thought the song would be this old. Very Catchy. ;)
Best Stop -motion videomusic ever!!!!!!!!!
This and Digging in the Dirt are probably my two favorite singles of his.
Stewart Copeland here showing the drums who owns the groove...as usual.
The point of this song was bang on. He was complaining about all of the yuppies that were popping up in the mid '80's and the culture of greed and empty materiealism which was rearing its ugly head back then. Its basically a rant against all of the Gordon Gecko's in the world. A Legendary song!
this is what MTV used to be about i remember watching these videos in the 80s..
i remember when he did Mtv music video awards in the 80's, what mankes me remember it the most though is the fact that Led Zeplin Bass player John Paul Jones was on stage for the performance both of them being in velvet leasure suits with big assed top hats.
oh peter you never let me down!!!!!
When he says "Hi there" again at the end, the whole video should start over again. ;)
This man is a legend. Truly amazing.
Hi, there, coxyefc! Billboard's #75 song of the '87 survey year. God bless you, for postin' it. Thanx! Have a blessed week!
My Heaven will be a big Heaven! and I'LL WALK THROUGH THE FRONT DOOR!
John 3:36
He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
Talk about a guy who was destined to succeed in both music and music videos.
gotta love the 80"s !!!
Life is one big adventure, and its great music like this thats part of the soundtrack
All people in last 2 years is her for that wonderful docu-film. Perfect intro that song evidence the ecstasy for that history-time. Beatiful were a 25/35 old in 1990. The Amercian Dream =( . For a young like me this is bad. God i can born in new life in 1975 :D ahahah!
Illuminati confirmo
And his heaven will be a big heaven!
One of the world's best videos...

I love this video and song

Fantastic Bass Line!!!
Always count on Gabriel to make an amazingly mad music video.
Great song, either way =]

the bass in this song is killer...
It fits marvelously with the opening credits.
where has all the good music gone? SONGS LAST A LIFETIME! if we have to explain it they just will not get it..............110

Tony Levins bass/ chapman stick sounds amazing in this song! Emperor of the bottom end!!
Great drumming, too. I think that's Stewart Copeland greeting us at the beginning.
Peter Gabriel is amazing
I looooovve the keyboard in this tune❤
I love this song BIG TIME!
80s Video Pop Art. Thumbs up.
Trippy video, which makes it awesome. Sledgehammer and Big Time Gabriel is letting loose with his creativity.
BEST MUSIC VIDEO EVER!!!
Peter Gabriel music videos are always so fucking cool!
haha i heard this song for years on the radio and such, but yeah watching Inside Job got me back into it !_!
Definately an appropriate opening score for the movie.
watched kenny moncur dance to this in a small club called the cat's pyjamas in edinburgh back in 1986...it was brilliant...cheers kenny.
Hell yeah Peter Gabriel videos were nothing like anyone had ever seen before
Peter Gabriel sure does love his spirit animals. o_0
I LOVE THIS SONG !!!!!!
I love the bass from about 0:41 to 0:57 incredible chops from Tony Levin, (an absolute genius and I'm not using that word lightly), Simon Clark and Jerry Marotta--incredible backing track
I love this one !!!!!!!!!!!
This was my anthem when I was in sales, superb
This was a great theme music song for WrestleMania 22

PURE AWESOMNESS

The strata-cut animation at 3'24 is still unsurpassed to this day! So unique!
