The official Sledgehammer video. Directed by Stephen R. Johnson.

You could have a steam train

If you'd just lay down your tracks

You could have an aeroplane flying

If you bring your blue sky back

All you do is call me

I'll be anything you need

You could have a big dipper

Going up and down, all around the bends

You could have a bumper car, bumping

This amusement never ends

I want to be - your sledgehammer

Why don't you call my name

Oh let me be your sledgehammer

This will be my testimony

Show me round your fruitcage

'Cos I will be your honey bee

Open up your fruitcage

Where the fruit is as sweet as can be

I want to be - your sledgehammer

Why don't you call my name

You'd better call the sledgehammer

Put your mind at rest

I'm going to be - the sledgehammer

This can be my testimony

I'm your sledgehammer

Let there be no doubt about it

Sledge Sledge Sledgehammer

I've kicked the habit, shed my skin

This is the new stuff, I go dancing in, we go dancing in

Oh won't you show for me and I will show for you

Show for me, I will show for you

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I do mean you, only you

You've been coming through

Going to build that power

Build, build up that power, hey

I've been feeding the rhythm

I've been feeding the rhythm

Going to feel that power build in you

Come on, come on, help me do

Come on, come on, help me do

Yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh , yeh, yeh, you

I've been feeding the rhythm

I've been feeding the rhythm

It's what we're doing, doing

All day and night

And people always blame Phil Collins because he made Genesis into a pop band, from prog rock. I think that if Gabriel had stayed the singer after 1975, they would've gone into pop that way too! Just look at this song!

*On this day:**At 31st May of 1986, Peter Gabriel scored his second solo UK No.1 album with 'So' featuring the singles "Sledgehammer", "Don't Give Up", "Big Time", "In Your Eyes" and "Red Rain". The LP is Gabriel's best-selling solo release, and has been certified fivefold platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America and triple platinum by the British Phonographic Industry.*British musician Peter Gabriel is best known for his role as lead vocalist and flautist for the progressive rock group Genesis. He has continued to find success with his solo career. He is heavily involved in educating Western culture about the work of world musicians. He has also been involved in various humanitarian efforts in association with Amnesty International.Peter Gabriel introduced his fifth studio album, 'So' in 1986 with "Sledgehammer," an Otis Redding-inspired soul-pop raver that was easily his catchiest, happiest single to date. Needless to say, it was also his most accessible, and, in that sense it was a good introduction to 'So', the catchiest, happiest record he ever cut. "Sledgehammer" propelled the record toward blockbuster status, and Gabriel had enough songs with single potential to keep it there. There was "Big Time," another colorful dance number; "Don't Give Up," a moving duet with Kate Bush; "Red Rain," a stately anthem popular on album rock radio; and "In Your Eyes," Gabriel's greatest love song, which achieved genuine classic status after being featured in Cameron Crowe's classic 'Say Anything.' These all illustrated the strengths of the album: Gabriel's increased melodicism and ability to blend African music, jangly pop, and soul into his moody art rock. 'So' is a record of considerable emotional complexity and musical sophistication. Beneath its disarming simplicity and accessibility is the voice of an artist who does what his heart tells him to do. That 'So' would finally bring Peter Gabriel commercial success is an extremely positive sign for the acceptability of intelligence on the airwaves and in pop music in general.#PeterGabriel #80sMusic#DanceRock #PopRock#ArtRock #UKCharts#Music #OS4L
