I thought it was "She's so fu.. ckier". And I didn't recognize my precious Kate Bush. Thought it was Gabriel's falsetto...

Doesn't sound at all like something from the 1980...Peter is an incredible pioneer of music!

This song has no timestamp. It sounds as interesting, mysterious, and otherworldly now as it did in 1980. Brilliance. And Kate's vocals are perfection.

This song is probably actually more relevant now than it's ever been, sadly. A masterpiece. I can't stop listening to it these days. It's an earworm of the highest order, and it's haunting me more than it ever has. The importance of Kate's contribution probably can't be understated, either - even if she's just singing the title in French, it adds such a ghostly atmosphere to the whole song, and it's one of the most crucial hooks in the song. There's never been another song like this. As a postscript, I thought it was Fripp playing the guitar part for the last twenty years, and today I found out it was David Rhodes. He sure does a great Fripp pastiche, in any case.

The goons? Wonderful! I've always heard it as "baboons" and thought it uncharacteristically crass of Peter to be so dismissive of indigenous wildlife.

He says "We're kissing baboons in the jungle" in the first chorus and "we piss on the goons in the jungle" in the second. It's very difficult to make out the difference, and it doesn't help that some radio edits censored the second chorus, but that's what printed lyrics are for.

Yeah.... There's a german version of this song, where he sings something like "Adolf burns books" though.

@TOMHINKLE57 - "Jeux sans frontiére" - the French translation of the title. I don't blame you, though, dude - I always thought it was "She's so funk-eay".

"Jane plays with Willy, Willy is happy again", makes me smile when I hear it.

I LOVE PETER GABRIEL! CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT THE CHORUS/ BACK-UPS ARE SAYING AND IN WHAT LANGUAGE? THOSE BACK-UP LYRICS HAVE LONG ELUDED ME.
