Games Without Frontiers - Peter Gabriel

Although not his most popular song, this is one that always seems to get stuck in my head and has an interesting little rhythm to it, but especially several unique vocal parts to it. The whistling part is an odd feature to this song but fits in so well. This song is a critique of war and how childish it is. The first line in the song which is commonly misheard is actually Jeux sans Frontiers, where the name of the song came from and was the name of a game show that pitted nationalities against each other. There are a lot of clear references to war in this song especially that of Adolf ( referring to Hitler) Britt ( referring to Great Britain), and Enrico Fermi, who's contribution to nuclear weaponry enabled the States to bomb Japan. An interesting little song but certainly one of my favorites that Gabriel has to offer.
