@@Tsass0 More accurately, it's stop motion animation, since only a few parts of this feature clay. Most of it involves other objects, like fruit, chalkboards, furniture, and so on. Claymation is just stop motion with clay. How I feel about people calling stop motion animation "claymation" tends to be the same way I feel about people calling ANY kind of oldschool special effect "CGI," even though it's actually an optical composite, miniatures, pyrotechnics, cloud tanks, Zoptic, matte work, forced perspective, or literally painting stuff onto the film...
It's hilarious to me coming back to this song as an adult. When I first heard this as a young teen in the 80s... wow, it went right over my head. Hahahaha. Now? Whoa.
Peter Gabriel is a GENIUS. From his beginnings in Genesis, to his solo career, he has written and performed so many amazing songs with DEEP lyrics. His early work with Genesis is absolutely unreal.
I was there at the first ever Top Of The Bill show by Genesis @ Croydon Greyhound Pub.Music Venue with 3,000 others in South East London in 1972 when the original top act "Bell 'n Arc" disbanded on the day before.August,1972.
Peter Gabriel's "Sledgehammer" is about sex, and the lyrics are loaded with phallic symbols. The innuendo was typical of the blues music Gabriel drew from. Gabriel said regarding the theme of this song: "Sometimes sex can break through barriers when other forms of communication are not working too well."
After leaving the band "Genesis" in 1975, Peter Gabriel launched a solo career with his eponymous album containing the classic hit single "Solsbury Hill". "Games Without Frontiers", another great song from his third solo album, was heavily played on MTV. Gabriel reached superstar status in 1986 with the release of his amazing solo album "So," which includes many classic hits, including "Sledgehammer", "In Your Eyes", and "Don't Give Up". I highly recommend hearing "Don't Give Up" while watching it's accompanying video. This song is an emotional, hard-hitting duet with iconic English singer Kate Bush.
An intern on the video was a young man named Nick Park. Your children will adore his later work. The adventures of Wallace and Grommet a series of short claymation films about a British inventor and his much more competent dog are hilarious. He also had a hit with Chicken Run and other works.
The instrument in the beginning is called " shakuhachi ". It's a Japanese longitudinal, end-blown flute that is made of bamboo developed in 16th century, dates back to similar instruments from the 10th century in China. So you're right: it would very much be used in virtually every other martial arts movie soundtrack 🙂 Peter Gabriel is also known for his "world music" since the 1980ies where he not only uses instruments from around the world in his compositions but more importantly cooperates with musicians of all countries, most notably Africa, Asia and South America. His live performances and concerts are an intense musical experience and I was lucky enough to see the "So" tour back in the days.
Sooo… the World premiere of this video on MTV was crazy! I remember being young and at a sleepover! We all just sat there staring and none of us said a single word,(which for pre-teen girls was unheard of!). This was so futuristic for the time we were in complete awe!!
Sounds great but I am not sure I totally believe you after 70 years on this Beautiful Planet:) You are, actually, telling me a group of girls got together and did NOT start talking from the moment they met until the moment they departed? That is quite a stretch of the imagination. LOL
PETER IS ONE OF THE MOST AMAZING ARTIST EVER... HE WAS THE ORIGINAL SINGER IN GENESIS WITH COLLINS ON DRUMS HE WAS A VERY IMPORTANT PART IN THE TAKE DOWN OF APARTHEID IN SOUTH AFRICA.... THIS MAN HAS DONE SO MUCH .....
I was there at the first ever Top Of The Bill show by Genesis @ Croydon Greyhound Pub.Music Venue with 3,000 others in South East London in 1972 when the original top act "Bell 'n Arc" disbanded on the day before.August,1972.
A total of 100 hours were spent shooting the music video, with each second of video consisting of 25 unique poses from Gabriel. A major hit on music television, "Sledgehammer" won nine MTV Video Music Awards in 1987, the most awards a single video has won.
During the week-long shoot, Gabriel lay under a sheet of glass while filming the video one frame at a time. The singer’s young daughters, Anna and Melanie, appear at the very end surrounded by a large group of extras.
The Peter Gabriel / Genesis rabbit hole has opened. Everywhere else it goes is just part of the circuitous trip. Living it in real time back then was quite the thing.
Peter Gabriel is a true pioneer and great human rights advocate. His WOMAD festival of world music is extraordinary. Gabriel helped to bring down apartheid in South Africa, with other great artists, campaigners and musicians. Free Nelson Mandela by the Special A.K.A was also pivotal. Jonny Clegg and his superb group fantastically important . Steve Biko by Gabriel became an anthem to all that the black people lost and ensured. Peter Gabriel songs are amazing from Solsbury Hill to Games without Frontiers to In Your Eyes to his duet with the uniquely talented Kate Bush. Legendary ❤👋
Peter Gabriel was a former member of the band Genesis (as was Phil Collins, but Gabriel went solo first). Other songs by Peter Gabriel you might like: "Games Without Frontiers," "Biko," "In Your Eyes," and "Solsbury Hill."
In the 80s , computer animation, and stop motion clay animation were combined, for the first time ever. MAX HEADROOM , was popular at time on MTV shorts... Gabriel a pioneer in music , and art , combined the two in this video.
I always thought this was also about life, starting with the swimmers, and ending with him slumping over in the chair, and when he stands up he is made of stars (he passed away), and goes to whatever's next.
This video was leading edge back when MTV first started. Won a bunch of awards. Just the credits at the end tell you how much work went into the video,. Peter spent hours under a piece of glass with dead fish around while they filmed/animated it the old school way frame by frame.
I notice the reaction video TH-camrs that came from a hip hip/ rap base. Always look to figure out what the words to these song’s mean literally - like a rap song…..other genres have songs that are meant to create a mood or a concept, no literal meaning intended… even the artists say that when asked what the meaning of their song is- it’s for the listeners interpretation
Yes, your understanding of the song is correct. This video was very groundbreaking when it came out because of the technology that was used to make it. Peter Gabriel is a very successful singer and songwriter, but he has actually been even more successful in his technology endeavors. He owns several patents and created (and sold) several technology companies.
I was there at the first ever Top Of The Bill show by Genesis @ Croydon Greyhound Pub.Music Venue with 3,000 others in South East London in 1972 when the original top act "Bell 'n Arc" disbanded on the day before.August,1972.
You might be thinking of Huey Lewis and The News. They sang a few songs in that film. Their voices are a little similar, the both have that grit in their voices. Best wishes from the UK 🎼🎶👍
I remember how ground breaking this video was when it was shown on MTV for the first time! You should check out his song In your eyes. Needs to be the live version!
Peter was with Genisis, which others have already pointed out, until he got a bit too eccentric with his costumes and songs, so he left the band for a solo career. In actuality, he was way ahead of his time. This video was one of the most expensive up to that point to make and was very labor intensive for Peter to make. As a friend, I recommend the song and video off the same album "Steam" which is sadly so underrated and under played.
This is a falsehood. They all reunited for an interview a few years ago (its on TH-cam) & they all say that rumor is NOT true & tell the actual story which very much makes sense when you hear it. Also, Phil Collins played DRUMS on Gabriels First album & some other of his songs. 👍🥂
I saw Peter Gabriel in 1986 and it was an amazing show. He was part of the Conspiracy of Hope Amnesty International concert series. U2, The Police, Lou Reed, Bryan Adams, Peter Gabriel, and the Neville Brothers. It was an amazing show, and Peter Gabriel was a highlight.
Peter Gabriel was the lead singer in the group Genesis and Phil Collins took over as the lead singer after his departure. Genesis would be a group you would want to check out. They had hit such as. Tonight tonight and Throwing it All away. I'm not sure if you reacted to those already.
I love Peter Gabriel, he was the lead singer of Genesis before Phil Collins! He is a well-respected British artist. This song was a huge hit in 1986! I think the song is about love/sex...but that's just me, I guess! LOL!💖💖
Biko, not just because it;s a great song but because of what is, a Eulogy for Bantu Steve Biko, an anti apartheid activist who was killed in Prison in South Africa in the 70's. The song is amazing and IMO one you really should listen to even if it's not a reaction.
Digging in the Dirt, The Washing of the Water, Steam, Love Town, Burn You Up, Burn You Down, Shaking the Tree, all fantastic songs from the very creative mind of Peter Gabriel.
I can’t begin to imagine how long it would have taken to create this video back in the day. I do love this song & Peter Gabriel, reminds me of my teenage years 😊
Speaking of Back to the Future, u should check out Huey Lewis and the News!! They sang Power of love and Back in time in the movie....They have mad bangers! Heart of Rock and Roll & I want a new drug are two of my favorites!
Love Huey Lewis and the News! Loved cracking up the stereo getting my cleaning done happily while rockin out,lol. Power of Love was definitely a fav.💙🇺🇸
SHOCK THE MONKEY is your next video. ABSOLUTELY. If you thought thus was wild, I can't wait for your take on this one. And then, you must listen STEAM.
He s one of the main reason i become a musician. This song and the "SO" album were my biggest influence as a young boy ( im 49 now, from 75). Huge influence, huge artist, great human being! Love Peter Gabriel.
Second vid of yours I have watched today (first was cult of personality). This video was simply groundbreaking ... never to be outdone, from the golden age of music videos - the mid-80's. Just before people stopped making epic vids and Mtv turned to reality TV ... there was SLEDGEHAMMER, released in 1986. Even Peter Gabriel himself failed to top it with his follow up vid for Steam. You may have heard his song "Big Time" ... Peter Gabriel is still performing today.
The stop motion photography in this video is just frickin insane. Especially for the time. Great music, weird video. I loved this song back then, and still love it today.
It is a joy to see your expression at 8 minutes, when you are like "is this his "booty call" language? Cause it's kinda weird!" At the time, the parents were clueless 😂
"Peter Gabriel - In Your Eyes (Secret World Live)" is the best live concert music video on TH-cam EVER. It will Expand your horizons when it comes to music concerts to new levels. You've seen a lot of great stuff on this channel, but you ain't never seen anything like "Peter Gabriel - In Your Eyes (Secret World Live)"
This was one of the most innovative music videos that ever hit MTV. The stop motion animation was very cool. And as for the message, you were spot on. My man wanted that peach cobbler fruitcake... Jackhammer... classic!
Peter Gabriel is a musical genius. When he was lead singer of Genesis, they had such amazing musical creations. I highly recommend Dancing with the Moonlit Knight. The keyboard, guitar and lyrics are impactful.
Peter Gabriel was the original singer for the band Genesis. When he left the band Phil Collins (drummer) took over on lead vocals. The talent in that band was something special. Peter's solo efforts were amazing and his creative genius is head scratching. This song is off of his SO album, which was one of the biggest selling albums of 1986. This video was a monster on MTV and was unlike anything else on the video channel. It won video of the year at the MTV music awards. The song is about sex, plain & simple from a penis centered view. The lyrics are filled with phallic symbols throughout - "steam train", "big dipper" and of course "Sledgehammer". Other songs to react to - "In Your Eyes", "Shock the Monkey", "Big Time", "Biko". Many others
Shock the Monkey, you've got to check out Shock the Monkey now
That's a great song!!!
Shock!
Shock the monkey tonight!!
Anything by PG is great!
I agree😊😊😊.
Remember kids, this was before heavy CGI. No CGI here.
Yeah kiddies! 🤣
Absolutely, correct.
Claymation
@@Tsass0 More accurately, it's stop motion animation, since only a few parts of this feature clay. Most of it involves other objects, like fruit, chalkboards, furniture, and so on. Claymation is just stop motion with clay.
How I feel about people calling stop motion animation "claymation" tends to be the same way I feel about people calling ANY kind of oldschool special effect "CGI," even though it's actually an optical composite, miniatures, pyrotechnics, cloud tanks, Zoptic, matte work, forced perspective, or literally painting stuff onto the film...
Peter put in So much time and effort on his videos. I mean how long was in the studio for this one....
Song is full of innuendo's. You got it right, song is basically about sex. Thanks for the reactions, man!
BP finds the sexual innuendos in any and all songs if he can..lol He's focused on that.Guess it's the rap background...
Like Captain Hammer says in Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along-Blog, the hammer is his p-nis...
Not fruitcake but "Show me 'round your fruit cage, 'Cause I will be your honey bee." But yeah, he wants to pollinate... hehe.
"You could have a steam train/If you'd just lay down your tracks." That should be enough innuendo right there, lol.
It's hilarious to me coming back to this song as an adult. When I first heard this as a young teen in the 80s... wow, it went right over my head. Hahahaha.
Now? Whoa.
Peter Gabriel is a GENIUS. From his beginnings in Genesis, to his solo career, he has written and performed so many amazing songs with DEEP lyrics. His early work with Genesis is absolutely unreal.
I would use the word "surreal" for a clearer description with Genesis, but, yeah pretty much lock step with ya.
@@Eladamri-qi6qyand Phil Collin’s and Mike Rutherford. Amazing musicians. Doesn’t he divining up that hill with Kate Bush?

In Your Eyes live is an ABSOLUTE MUST!❤
Got to be the Secret World Live version. Astonishing!
@@iangt1171 Definitely!
I totally AGREE!!
Secret World Live just adding my vote so hopefully it gets done. That is a wonderful performance.
Yes! In Your Eyes from Secret World Live is one of the best live performances of all time!

good list^^^
Oh yes Solsbury Hill....fantastic song and a great one for you to review BP....pleeeease :)
His voice is familiar because if your parents let you out of the house in 1986-1988, you heard this song. This was his biggest of many hits.
An intern on the video was a young man named Nick Park. Your children will adore his later work. The adventures of Wallace and Grommet a series of short claymation films about a British inventor and his much more competent dog are hilarious. He also had a hit with Chicken Run and other works.

PETER IS ONE OF THE MOST AMAZING ARTIST EVER... HE WAS THE ORIGINAL SINGER IN GENESIS WITH COLLINS ON DRUMS HE WAS A VERY IMPORTANT PART IN THE TAKE DOWN OF APARTHEID IN SOUTH AFRICA.... THIS MAN HAS DONE SO MUCH .....
Peter Gabriel and Johnny Clegg, man... pivotal artists to South Africa!
I was there at the first ever Top Of The Bill show by Genesis @ Croydon Greyhound Pub.Music Venue with 3,000 others in South East London in 1972 when the original top act "Bell 'n Arc" disbanded on the day before.August,1972.
This is what happens when you allow creative people to do their thing unopposed. Gotta love it.
Gotta love that "stop-motion" photography, making his body look as if it were clay being molded.
One of the best videos ever. This is before they used computers for animation.
A total of 100 hours were spent shooting the music video, with each second of video consisting of 25 unique poses from Gabriel. A major hit on music television, "Sledgehammer" won nine MTV Video Music Awards in 1987, the most awards a single video has won.
i always wondered how many hours were involved in the shooting of it, and that sounds about right! ugh, the patience to do it that way!
During the week-long shoot, Gabriel lay under a sheet of glass while filming the video one frame at a time. The singer’s young daughters, Anna and Melanie, appear at the very end surrounded by a large group of extras.
BRO, peep his whole catalog. He's amazing. In yours Eyes Live from REAL WORLD tour will blow you away.

The most inventive video ever made and the song is a banger!
I'm in my 60s seen them all, nothing like it.
Never knew the video was made by Aardvark Productions (Wallace &Grommit) Nick Parkes
In the 80s , computer animation, and stop motion clay animation were combined, for the first time ever. MAX HEADROOM , was popular at time on MTV shorts... Gabriel a pioneer in music , and art , combined the two in this video.
When this came out, the video was very innovative. We had never seen anything like it.
An early effort from the people who brought you "Wallace & Gromit", and "Shaun the Sheep"
This was on MTV in extremely heavy rotation.
“In Your Eyes” live is a definite must see/react video…
One of the most important videos in the history of music videos, and I believe still holds the record for the most plays on MTV. Lots of awards.
I always thought this was also about life, starting with the swimmers, and ending with him slumping over in the chair, and when he stands up he is made of stars (he passed away), and goes to whatever's next.
I agree.. About life.. But sex is the way we get there...
I got much the same from the video, but also that aspect of trying to break the mold and leave something meaningful behind. Very creative.
This video was leading edge back when MTV first started. Won a bunch of awards. Just the credits at the end tell you how much work went into the video,. Peter spent hours under a piece of glass with dead fish around while they filmed/animated it the old school way frame by frame.
Stop motion and also used claymation.
Solsbury Hill, Don’t give up, In your eyes, Games without frontiers.
This video was ahead of its time
No thinking involved with gabriel. Smoke a bowl and roll with it
EXACTLY I SAID THAT !!
I don’t think BP smokes bowls 😂
This kid hopeless has no feeling for music grew up under a rock
Exactly the opposite. Peter Gabriel has a message in all of his lyrics.
This whole song is about getting laid.
A Jackhammer is fast and quick, a sledge hammer is slow and steady.
I notice the reaction video TH-camrs that came from a hip hip/ rap base. Always look to figure out what the words to these song’s mean literally - like a rap song…..other genres have songs that are meant to create a mood or a concept, no literal meaning intended… even the artists say that when asked what the meaning of their song is- it’s for the listeners interpretation
I remember when this song came out, it was HUGE because the video was so revolutionary.
MTV ERA! Peter Gabriel is great singer.."SHOCK THE MONKEY" and others! ❤
Yes, your understanding of the song is correct. This video was very groundbreaking when it came out because of the technology that was used to make it. Peter Gabriel is a very successful singer and songwriter, but he has actually been even more successful in his technology endeavors. He owns several patents and created (and sold) several technology companies.
Really ? I had no idea of that side of his interests. I'm going to look into that now.
The great Tony Levin is playing that signature, funky, perfectly-fitted bass.
Peter Gabriel is an icon of the music industry
I was there at the first ever Top Of The Bill show by Genesis @ Croydon Greyhound Pub.Music Venue with 3,000 others in South East London in 1972 when the original top act "Bell 'n Arc" disbanded on the day before.August,1972.
He is outstanding. His live shows are indeed a show. You will be blown away.
"i have no clue what the F is about to happen " - rarely have truer words been spoken. That video is just so unexpected, at every turn.
Don't miss "In your eyes", live at Secret World Live tour. Absolutely amazing!
You might be thinking of Huey Lewis and The News. They sang a few songs in that film. Their voices are a little similar, the both have that grit in their voices.
Best wishes from the UK 🎼🎶👍
The bass line from Tony Levin is insane..... Peter is a great Artist both with Genesis and solo. In your eyes live is a must!!!
I remember how ground breaking this video was when it was shown on MTV for the first time! You should check out his song In your eyes. Needs to be the live version!
MTV helped launch so many hits and gave artists one more thing to create besides their music...a visual to go with it...
There comes a time when it's best to just sit back, listen and have fun.
In your Eyes from the Secret World Tour is an absolute must!!! It is beyond amazing! He was the singer for Genesis when Phil Collins was the drummer.
Peter was with Genisis, which others have already pointed out, until he got a bit too eccentric with his costumes and songs, so he left the band for a solo career. In actuality, he was way ahead of his time. This video was one of the most expensive up to that point to make and was very labor intensive for Peter to make. As a friend, I recommend the song and video off the same album "Steam" which is sadly so underrated and under played.
Genisis.....that's why his voice reminds me of Phil Collins.
This is a falsehood. They all reunited for an interview a few years ago (its on TH-cam) & they all say that rumor is NOT true & tell the actual story which very much makes sense when you hear it. Also, Phil Collins played DRUMS on Gabriels First album & some other of his songs. 👍🥂
The 80's were so much fun! I was in my 30's, had 2 teenagers at home...as well as their friends...then of course MTV around the clock
I saw Peter Gabriel in 1986 and it was an amazing show. He was part of the Conspiracy of Hope Amnesty International concert series. U2, The Police, Lou Reed, Bryan Adams, Peter Gabriel, and the Neville Brothers. It was an amazing show, and Peter Gabriel was a highlight.
Peter Gabriel is a visual creative genius. All of his videos are works of art, even without the music.
Peter Gabriel was the lead singer in the group Genesis and Phil Collins took over as the lead singer after his departure.
Genesis would be a group you would want to check out. They had hit such as. Tonight tonight and Throwing it All away. I'm not sure if you reacted to those already.
Don’t forget Mike Rutherford of Mike and the Mechanics. P loved their song In the Living Years.
That’s wild.
I love Peter Gabriel, he was the lead singer of Genesis before Phil Collins! He is a well-respected British artist. This song was a huge hit in 1986! I think the song is about love/sex...but that's just me, I guess! LOL!💖💖
One thing to remember is that Music videos were a very new art form in the 80s, the most imaginative artists really pushed the art form.
His song Solsbury Hill is my favorite. I still have it on my cycling playlist.
I finally got the meaning after all these years. The sledgehammer is the one sperm out of millions to breakthrough and create life.
I'd love to see Peter Gabriel and David Byrne of the Talking Heads collaborate and make music together. Both exude creativity.
Biko, not just because it;s a great song but because of what is, a Eulogy for Bantu Steve Biko, an anti apartheid activist who was killed in Prison in South Africa in the 70's. The song is amazing and IMO one you really should listen to even if it's not a reaction.
Digging in the Dirt, The Washing of the Water, Steam, Love Town, Burn You Up, Burn You Down, Shaking the Tree, all fantastic songs from the very creative mind of Peter Gabriel.
Washing of the Water is a great tune. I used to love listening to it, ironically enough, in the bath ...
@@sammyd8860 ...... followed by "Shaking The Tree" and "Steam"......😬😏
Digging in the Dirt is so fucking good. And i love Steam
I can’t begin to imagine how long it would have taken to create this video back in the day. I do love this song & Peter Gabriel, reminds me of my teenage years 😊
Peter is a huge star
The wildest video you'll ever watch. Gabriel also Shock the Monkey 🐒 also In your eyes 👀 ❤
Speaking of Back to the Future, u should check out Huey Lewis and the News!! They sang Power of love and Back in time in the movie....They have mad bangers! Heart of Rock and Roll & I want a new drug are two of my favorites!
Love Huey Lewis and the News!
Loved cracking up the stereo getting my cleaning done happily while rockin out,lol. Power of Love was definitely a fav.💙🇺🇸
This video is a shock and awe that only needs to be viewed once to remember it.
Oh this song always filled the dance floor...
SHOCK THE MONKEY is your next video. ABSOLUTELY. If you thought thus was wild, I can't wait for your take on this one.
And then, you must listen STEAM.
Peter is a LEGEND!!!! So talented and innovative. I love me some Peter Gabriel LOL
That sound at the beginning is the Call of the Gen Xer. Play that loud enough, and we'll just show up.
Secret World Live. Tae a couple of hours and just enjoy the fabulous concert!!❤❤❤❤❤❤THE MAN IS A GENIUS
Video was the major selling point of this track. Peter Gabriel created one of the most important innovative videos in 1986.
VVV this, also "Shaking the Tree Live", driving bass, great piano, vocals, and message. Love their dance on the round stage.
This video won so many awards the year it came out.
Shock the Monkey is one of my favorites of his.
My young kids absolutely loved when this video came on the TV. They would come running to see the dancing chicken.
It's all about the Bedroom, don't thin too Deep!
Yeah, he is pretty amazing when it comes to the videos. You've got a lot ahead of you of fun things to watch. Thanks for sharing as always. Great job!
Again Imma say finally! Peter Gabriel is him and this song is 🔥
Anything Live by this absolute LEGEND is a REAL vibe. A musical Genius 🎶🎵🍯🔥🙏💪🐝🍀
Can we appreciate that bass line? It's so dang good
I forgot how crazy this video was. When it first came out, it was cutting edge, no one had done anything like it. Great song.
The So Album is gold from start to finish
Top Three music videos ever created for sheer ingenuity. And Gabriel has a slew of mega hits. Go diving!
Welcome to the world of Peter Gabriel. His message is for positive change.
He s one of the main reason i become a musician. This song and the "SO" album were my biggest influence as a young boy ( im 49 now, from 75). Huge influence, huge artist, great human being! Love Peter Gabriel.
Yeah. This is a wild one. That’s just the way it was. 😊 The beat & music 🔥

One of the best examples of progressive rock and is very eclectic. Super talented!
I think this was the time they started experimenting making these kind of graphics in music videos.
Solsbury Hill, Biko, In your Eyes….all must listens! Peter is an icon.
This was one of the most innovative music videos that ever hit MTV. The stop motion animation was very cool. And as for the message, you were spot on. My man wanted that peach cobbler fruitcake... Jackhammer... classic!
Oh, Pegasus, Solsbury Hill, Games without Frontiers, In Your Eyes, Biko, (which I believe was done with Ladysmith Black Mambazo)
You can tell this is an 80s video. Great performance by Peter Gabriel. Good Reaction !
Peter is one of the most creative musicians.
"In Your Eyes" HIS BIGGEST HIT AND ITS AN EPIC JAM !
In Your Eyes, Secret World Live tour in Modena Italy is an experience that cant be missed!

This video was a monster on MTV and was unlike anything else on the video channel. It won video of the year at the MTV music awards. The song is about sex, plain & simple from a penis centered view. The lyrics are filled with phallic symbols throughout - "steam train", "big dipper" and of course "Sledgehammer".
Other songs to react to - "In Your Eyes", "Shock the Monkey", "Big Time", "Biko". Many others
This song and video was so much fun when it came out.🔥
