Let's face it, more than half the songs around the world are about SEX...

And if they are not, the VIDEOS make you think they are.

Loved the comment someone made: "In the 80's, Rock-Stars were ugly, but music was good..."

What is he talking about when he says:

I've kicked the habit
Shed my skin

What habit did he kick?

Dave Spiers or Peter Gabriel (depends which way you look at it) wrote: Cover me, when I run
Cover me - through the fire
Something knocked me out the trees and now I’m on my knees
Darling, don’t you monkey with the monkey

Monkey, monkey, monkey
Don’t you know you’ve got to shock the monkey tonight

Fox the fox
Rattle the rat
You can ape the ape

I know about that
There is one thing you must be sure of, I can’t take anymore
Darling, don’t you monkey with the monkey

Monkey, monkey, monkey
Don’t you know you’ve got to shock the monkey

Even by his own standards that is shite. I gave it to google.

A considerable improvement, I think you'll agree.

think children in need may use it this year?

I think it was about hashish - god I have no idea how to spell that.

As a sideline - love that song.

I also love Sledgehammer to as it happens.

Mainly drugs, then money, then a tiny bit of politics.

I think that covers just about everything!

AUTOMOBILE DRIVES INTO BUSHES, LEAVES SCENE

You could have a pruning shear...
Clipping up and down, snipping round my twig.
You could have a lawn roller...
Flattenin' out the lumps in my toupee wig.

I wanna be... your HEDGE SLAMMER!
Why is this lyric so lame?
I wanna be... a hedge slammer...
And say some vandal's to blame.

Ah'm a pop riveter, baby,
A seethin' mass o' fluffy skunk.

Naturally, the other half are mourning about a lack of sex.

Nooo. I'm quite open in wanting to see Mr. Bush happy and healthy and living at home in Crawford. Immediately if at all feasible. Ah well.

McLilith

it's obvious - I've kicked the habit is all about his reformed excessive tugging now that he's found a woman to "sledgehammer" and shed my skin is yet another reference to condoms

What "SLEDGEHAMMER" means on PGrabriel's song?
