Lol! I am here because my band has added this to the list of new projects. Not sure how we will reproduce the mystic flute at the beginning!! Fantastic song.
I was always amazed about how both Peter Gabriel & Phil Collins sound so much alike when they would sing. I wonder if they ever knew each other. I always enjoyed hearing Sledgehammer when I was growing up.
Damn badass song! Never realized how dirty until now, which makes it even better! Thanks for the lyrics, I will never think the same way about this song. Wow!
Remakes are never better. Just different. OG's are always the best, because they are heard the way the original artist intended them to be heard. But I can appreciate covers that are well done. Dave Matthews Band rocks the hell out of this song live.
I was in my late 20's when I first heard this song and when I saw the video it blew me away. Now I'm 60 and I still love this song and video, it's ageless!
This video use to scare the shit out of me when I was little. Not sure why now that i'm older, but this and that video that Genesis put out with those crazy looking puppets use to creep me out. lol
Commander Fappy Fapster, the video scared me, too. Especially the Big Dipper part. Not the Genesis video. Me niece Christina even liked it, and said "puppets!"
My interpretation to this song is more like overcoming obstacles of life. As well as you and your significant other or friend helping each other through life by motivation.
@@garrybaldy327 yep. I wanna be your 'slegde hammer' ? We know what your sledge hammer is. We all know what her 'fruit cage' is. Peter borrowed that 'I'll be your honey bee' line from the blue song 'King Bee' (Slim Harpo).
@@garrybaldy327 exactly.. I heard it on the radio this morning.. When I was a teenager I did not understand that about the lyrics, because I was not paying attantion about it.. I only heard "Sledgehammer" - but it is sex! "Sledgehammer"
this song is about Jesus Christ who wants to BE YOUR sledgehammer. Just call his name...he'll be everything you need (Jehova Jira, Jehovva Nici)...this will be my .."TESTIMONY" yOU 'LL GET IT! GOING TO FEEL BIG POWER. TOOK ME 20 YEARS TO FINALLY FIGURE IT OUT.
I remember when this song came out when I was a little kid... and I watched the video on tv... back then, the video blew my effing mind. The music still does!
Timothy House Uhhh...basically it's an "I've got a big D" booty call song. just as "Rock You Like A Hurricane" Rebel Yell" and "My Pony" are all about going to get some penis. :P :D
Even if you hear "Open up your fruitcakes", like I always thought it was, I still knew he meant vagina. In latter years, I figured out the entire song was about sex. I guess I had to have some before that became apparent.
If you get curious and look at the head of the sledegehammer and it has a mark. It was when David's canon went off. It has now been realized as a weapon. Basically because it's already done. Destined Over Needing Experience
***** Thanks for backing me up and it's true that the vast majority of my generation listens to contemporary pop and a lot of it sucks. I listen to almost every genre, yes that includes rap, dubstep, and a little pop, buy at the end of the day classic rock is where it's at. Also, I feel that certain music pertains to specific moods. This means there's a time and place for certain types of music.
+obiwan525 I just more people were enlightened in musically and not so narrowminded and that's okay that troll said that because that allowed me to express my views moreover on diversity in music and make my point. There it is the epitome of the internet.
***** I'm from Central New York, so yeah. Big Time is another one of his greats, along with Solsbury Hill. Phil Collins is also up there with him in the ranks of good artistry.
@TheSkuLLcomedyShow that is so sweet, I used to listen to this song whenn I went to sleep when I was about 6, I gues thats where i got my music interests from
This song makes me want to walk around in slow motion holding a sledgehammer and knocking people over with it. I lose it when Gavin falls over every time. xD
This song is obviously about how the energy vampires that reside in a different realm than,us.. feed on our souls (vibrational field) for their energy! duh.
Why is it I can find anywhere what he's singing in the first line of singing every time I read the lyrics no one seems to include it and I don't know why. Does anyone know what he's saying? I'm just really curious and it bothers me I can't find it anywhere.

Such a classic. This song has been the soundtrack to some of the most awesome moments of my life
I have this song stuck in my head thanks to my dad watching the music video like a million times lol! I absolutely adore 80's music so much!
I danced to this song yrs ago, as a go-go dancer. You could feel the innuendo but I never realized these words, too funny!!! Great song!!!
I found this old Peter Gabriel cassette tape. I miss that time and that music!
Peter Gabriel is the man!
This song will be covered by my band.
Its... Essential.
Lol! I am here because my band has added this to the list of new projects. Not sure how we will reproduce the mystic flute at the beginning!!
Fantastic song.
Thanks for the lyrics. All these years I thought he was saying "I will chauffeur" you!
Me too!
I still think he's saying chauffeur you. It makes more sense. I will chauffeur you, I will take you places. I think show for you is wrong. Peter?
He IS sayin that!
Right as rain, @@garrybaldy327.
I was always amazed about how both Peter Gabriel & Phil Collins sound so much alike when they would sing. I wonder if they ever knew each other. I always enjoyed hearing Sledgehammer when I was growing up.
It’s a musical masterpiece.
This is an awesome song, I actually started listening to it because I'm in marching band, and we're going to have this in our show this year.
That bass line is addictive!
I'm a 2 week fetus and this is the real music. I hate my generation.
+Igor Sanczenko But you don't have a generation yet
+SupperSammich4 Heyyy, don't judge. I wrote this comment 2 months ago, I'm really close, just wait.
Igor Sanczenko Hmm
+Igor Sanczenko how about now
1 month to go sorry
Damn badass song! Never realized how dirty until now, which makes it even better! Thanks for the lyrics, I will never think the same way about this song. Wow!
I love this song..I told my brother to put this on his playlist
Awesome Peter Gabriel. Not for nothing is one of the best.
For the past 30 years I thought he was saying “fruitcakes”, but never questioned it because... well, it’s Peter Gabriel and he’s in his own world.😃
I thought he was saying "fruitcakes" as well, but I still knew he was referring to vagina somehow.
Harry styles is covering this song 😂😂 now this is where he got his inspiration to write watermelon sugar.
What a meloncholy
🤢
Nothing can beat the original versions of songs
@@mrb3nelux515 well harry's song is just looks inspired by this, it sounds nothing like this song just saying
Is Styles' cover any good?
I was so young when this song came out! Memories!
Remakes are never better. Just different. OG's are always the best, because they are heard the way the original artist intended them to be heard. But I can appreciate covers that are well done. Dave Matthews Band rocks the hell out of this song live.
WHO CARES WHAT IT'S ABOUT its a gr8 song
I no right
i get the song
Very important. You play it on a date, and it's a subliminal effect to get those knickers off. If she's wise to it, theres very plausible deniability.
@@charleebrown7188 😂😂😂😂
Thank you DMB for revitalizing this song! I kicked the habit!
I was in my late 20's when I first heard this song and when I saw the video it blew me away. Now I'm 60 and I still love this song and video, it's ageless!
Dave Matthews Band plays a hell of a version of this song at his concerts. Played it at the last two concerts I've been to. That's how I got here :)
This video use to scare the shit out of me when I was little. Not sure why now that i'm older, but this and that video that Genesis put out with those crazy looking puppets use to creep me out. lol
Commander Fappy Fapster, the video scared me, too. Especially the Big Dipper part. Not the Genesis video. Me niece Christina even liked it, and said "puppets!"
I love this song 😌 now and days music lacks individuality
My interpretation to this song is more like overcoming obstacles of life. As well as you and your significant other or friend helping each other through life by motivation.
It's about sex
@@garrybaldy327 yep. I wanna be your 'slegde hammer' ? We know what your sledge hammer is. We all know what her 'fruit cage' is. Peter borrowed that 'I'll be your honey bee' line from the blue song 'King Bee' (Slim Harpo).

this song is freakin awesome! My husband and I get it on in the car singing it while driving its so catchy
Feel like I’m about to ask a really stupid question...But he’s referencing sex right???or Am I being stupid😬

musica muito linda parabens pelo o sucesso de sempre.....
The baseline is so cool! Love this song.
magnum dong!
I wanna be... your MAGNUM DONG!
Loved playing in my sandbox to this song as a young TYKE while my pop worked on cars.
Good Quality! Thx 4 Upload!
Thank you for this video - A to Z Lyrics could not find the search.
The first time I hear this song. And I love it.
As a 35 year old, there are things that I would do to Peter G. that are unspeakable.😍
i like it so much dad
thank you for the lyrics. Great esoteric song
The bass! What a tune!
At the end he's not saying "I've been feeding the rhythm." He's saying "I just peed in the river."
Still a sexual innuendo, and phonetically accurate. Great work. Confused that your comment has so few likes.
I always thought it was “I’ve been deep in the river”
Better love story than Twilight...
I remember when this song came out when I was a little kid... and I watched the video on tv... back then, the video blew my effing mind. The music still does!
"kicked the habit, shed my skin."
Love This Song. I'm Here in February 2022.
Love that video
Excellent Bass !
As a kid, I thought this song was about construction works
😂 love it
One of the pioneering videos for special effects
Awesome!
I remember the bad ass video he made out of this tune when it first came out on MTV
Sledgehammer!!! I'm digging this song! I'm only twenty-two years old

I turned 4 years old when this song was on top of the charts.
Why does this remind me of my holiday in Cornwall?
I,just love this great song
dang, i just wanted to know what that random mumbling in the beginning is. still no one knows what it is
TheMilkmanPaul, it's "hay, hay, U there, hay, I gotta music".
This song is my jam!
Ur swippy dippi cream Vanilla
BEST. SONG. EVER.
The video clip is amazing
As a child from the 80's I never knew what this song was about. Then I heard it on XM satellite and it hit me, he's singing about sex.
Timothy House Uhhh...basically it's an "I've got a big D" booty call song. just as "Rock You Like A Hurricane" Rebel Yell" and "My Pony" are all about going to get some penis. :P :D
Well...giving the D anyrate
Lol same here. Now I love the song!
Even if you hear "Open up your fruitcakes", like I always thought it was, I still knew he meant vagina. In latter years, I figured out the entire song was about sex. I guess I had to have some before that became apparent.
its so good
BIG STRONG BOI! BIG STRONG BOI! BIG STRONG BOI!
GOD, this song is awesome.
Sweet♡
I love it.
Sledgehammer! May 2020 !
Is it just me --- but I hear a little Ray Charles in his singing voice.

Very underrated artist
If you get curious and look at the head of the sledegehammer and it has a mark. It was when David's canon went off. It has now been realized as a weapon. Basically because it's already done. Destined Over Needing Experience
Oh my god so good
I wish more people of my generation would appreciate this kind of music. (I'm 16)
+Bailey Dwyer shut the fuck up there are more people like that

@TheSkuLLcomedyShow that is so sweet, I used to listen to this song whenn I went to sleep when I was about 6, I gues thats where i got my music interests from
I wake up to every morning to this :-) Along with Big Time
Victor Smith, I like Big Time Loud.
Theme song to the 3rd BDE, 3ID Combat Team, Kelly Hill, Ft. Benning, GA
Genius .
This song makes me want to walk around in slow motion holding a sledgehammer and knocking people over with it. I lose it when Gavin falls over every time. xD
Cool.
This song is obviously about how the energy vampires that reside in a different realm than,us.. feed on our souls (vibrational field) for their energy! duh.
Totally.
Nope. It's about the Minnesota Vikings and their purple helmets. Duh!
Show!
0:21 It's "Hey, Hey U there! Hey, I got a-music".
i guess the 3 dislikers got hit with a sledghammer
They wish
And their butts are sore.
Why is it I can find anywhere what he's singing in the first line of singing every time I read the lyrics no one seems to include it and I don't know why. Does anyone know what he's saying? I'm just really curious and it bothers me I can't find it anywhere.
"Yeah, yeah you" I hear that O.o
Ranley Werty, I read in a comment on a live performance of this it's "U just got a new thing" after "Yah, yah U".
That fretless stingray sound is eargasmic
I luv Peter Gabriel XD
where was this song all the time?
As a kid, I thought it was about a Sledgehammer. Literally. xD
Same here 🤣🤣
Catchy song
I remember exactly just befote the show at the Miami Dolphins stadium they were testing the sound with this beat.... I think it was 1988
i guess the 3 dislikers got hit with a sledghammer
Strangest love song I've ever heard.
Is it just me or is this song extremely dirty
What does he say at the begining of the song?? :"0
When it comes to the clubs packed, Cristal flowin', I'VE GOT T- oh whoops..
had to recognize shit in class for a note. I looked it up by "Sledgehammer" and came this across
its so good
Moustache mountain. If you know you know.
