Sledgehammer - Peter Gabriel (HQ Audio)

[TheSONICLOQUENDO]

ist theme of radio politica de eduardo andrade

[KDMensch]

You can run your fingernails across a chalkboard and make it "HQ" quality but if the source audio is poor to begin with? It's just poor!

[1926FORDTROADSTER]

At the time of writting this 38 SPERMS need the SLEDGEHAMMER

[erichitz79]

its that new HQ 240 p audio. cant you hear the fold over frequencies ?

[jeffbeck3]

when mtv was mtv

[LivinInHisWord]

Don't know too many guys that would write a song in praise of having sex with his wife & such a creative way too! You gotta LOVE Gabriel's creative genius & sense of humor!

[djm51x]

[MsMichaelSC]

This song is so intertwined with my memories as a kid. :D

[garyporter007]

LIKE SHITE IS IT HQ.GOOD SONG THOU

[InnerTubeJoe]

[bs101508]

If I had a dollar for every pixel is this video... I'd still not be able to buy the album.

[Doomsls]

the sledgehammer is my...

[thearrowsoferos]

Cocaine's a hell of a drug...

[DynamixWarePro]

Loved this when I was younger, never realised it had sexual innuendos until recently, still, the video must not have been easy to do back then with the effects in it, if it had have been done today, I don't think it would have looked as good.

[noliesundead]

Very European

[pricefixingmaster]

listen guys this time of music made the music we listen to today

[myndirnotur]

peter gabriel. what a boss

[MrMysteryMusic]

HQ my ass.

[JimmyPageIsALegend]

@MrMysteryMusic I'd rather not, thankyou.

[ozbucket69]

@MrMysteryMusic Yeah right, i think maybe the muffley white noise sound ting in the background is HQ? ha

[Battle5tarRJC]

Ummm.....30 dislikes.....WHY!!!!!!!!

[legindyoll]

Aardman Animation

[AGZurich]

[PinstripeHourglass]

@dalektaliban

you do realize the song is about Peter Gabriel's dick, right?

[victordumitru007]

HQ AUDIO!

[svdrj]

how can you beat dancing chickens

[citygurl104]

This song is boss!

[TheElementalrocker1]

I'd love to see any other artist start a video with sperm.

[cazwhitt2]

a real awesome performe andr video

[MrROTD]

this was fucking mindblowing video at the time nevermind that the music is badass

[reverendomarzani]

Well, Meth is a hella of a drug.

[felixrodstein]

[RustyNex]

2:12 put a banana in your ear!

[dalektaliban]

dear 2010's we dont give a fuck about what women youve had sex with or the parties you went to! sing more shit like this!

[topmantek]

@dalektaliban Amen



[noah4242]

@dalektaliban ....this song is about having sex.....

[dalektaliban]

@noah4242 dont get me wrong I don't mind sex songs , its just that 2010 songs are less than subtle, plus being at the club and having sex is all anyone sings about anymore, plus this song actually has a beat and isnt dubstep autotune bullshit

[mattallsop]

what the fuck is everyone blind or wha? listen to the fucking state of the audio after this clown says its (HQ AUDIO) sigh . bell end

[KillerCraig8]

26 people prefer turkey dancing over chicken.

[mzkittyy]

i loved this video when i was younger.. it kind of trips me out now (the face twitches and eyebrows).. still good though.

[ivanrich]

Mr. Bean

[1001buildings]

This video raised the bar on what was, with a few notable exceptions, a pretty barren format (pop video). Excellent.

[Torranskee1]

26 people prefer ball ping hammers.

[atzingirl7]

Bei dem lied habe ich mir meinen ersten Schuß genommen

[marshalljimduncan]

I wish I could kick the habit

[ldvno87]

240p is NOT HQ audio

[mrstaffytoots]

great video!

[flabbyballsack]

I'm 24, and the image the mainstream has painted of Peter Gabriel is that of a total douche. This is exactly why I believe the people who listen to the mainstream media are total douches.

[orationi]

@flabbyballsack Don't be mad cause you like this song.....it's a good song

[flabbyballsack]

@orationi I was drunk when i wrote that... what i meant had had good intentions. Looking back, it made absolutely no sense. Both the song and video are awesome. I think I was trying to say the mainstream is kidding itself trashing on such a catchy yet original artist. When people my age hear "Peter Gabriel" we instantly dismiss it because of the image of Gabriel that has previously been painted.

[orationi]

@flabbyballsack ooh I gotch ya

[MrChesney90]

the wonders of stop motion :-)

[TheRingingmountain]

Well, there he has seen before certainly the film Babysnakes of Zappa.

[Simple816]

This is the most epic music video I've ever seen

[YashaWhiteTiger]

Thumps up if you think about Tim Allen as Tim Taylor in "Home Improvement" when you hear this song???!

[SixstringMatt]

So. Many. Styles. SO! MUCH!!! HAIRGEL!!!! ..... No wonder he started going bald..... Though this DID win music video of the year, too... so... Possibly worth it???

[alexey15191]

I work in the produce dept. of a grocery store. Theres a playlist of mostly 80's and 90's pop mixed in with a few modern hits and corny sale advertisements. This is by far the best song on the playlist, Every time it comes on it completely shifts my state of mind. I just want to start dancing.

[mwizard216]

is this Cher?

[geektrag]

Though this was actually filmed by Aardman Studios (which created Wallace & Gromit), it's very clearly heavily influenced by the work of Jan Svankmajer. If you haven't seen Svankmajer's work, you should really find it here on YouTube and watch.

[TheManofFest]

3:30 Head crabs

[thegrimnok]

There is a dead chicken dancing. How amazing can a music video be?

Former lead singer of Fleetwood Mac.

[tudssquadbuisness]

@dahsuerk Peter Gabriel was in the group Genesis along with Phil Collins. He was not Fleetwood Mac.

[BlessedBlackRose]

I'm 18. This is awesome.

[cymrutroll]

80s vids are fucking trippy

[BlackAntic]

This song came out the year I was born and its one of my favorites.

[trinachronism]

*giggle* I used to have the biggest crush on PG... and he was singing about getting it on the whole time! Boy, is my face red! ;)

[inervin]

Oh my God, they've broadcasted it on Russian TV when I was a child. I thought I've forgot this stuff, while I didn't! ))))

[flashfire320]

is he like having a seizure or something?

[snowisthebestweather]

@flashfire320 Nope. It's just a bunch of separate pictures put together.

[RheingoldxxL]

... he also made Music for MYST ...

[bosswitdasauce]

I wanna be your Sledgehammer = I wanna lay the pipe down!!

[TheEyesOfJohn]

What a groove.

[GreenLiteProductions]

You know what, when your video resolution is at the lowest possible setting that is the 1st indication that the audio is not HQ. Please do not clog up hq search results with poor quality audio and video

[SuperShepperd]

one of the most complex music videos I've ever seen... how many weeks did that take? 'bout 8? Just for the shootings?

[lytrigian]

Of possible interest: the dancing chickens were done by Nick Park of Wallace and Gromit fame. This was one of his first assignments at Aardman after they hired him.

[AnarchyEngineer]

Wow. This is the wackiest music video I've ever seen and still enjoying it !

[Nebelblitz]

Phil Collins ist ein blasser Moment gegen Peter G.

[JediCowboy25]

Goddammit now I wanna watch howard the duck too....love the airplane scene

[GreenArcherXVII]

1. The star man at the end used to scare me when I was little...

2. Now I wan to watch Predator 1, Short Circuit, Batteries Not Included, Childs Play, Poltergeist, Pet Cemetery, Moonwalker, The Lost Boys, Back to the Future, Howard the Duck, Batman 1, and Killer Clowns from Outter Space.....

[GreenArcherXVII]

@GreenArcherXVII TMNT the movie and cartoons, Critters, Gremlins, IT, Friday the 13th, A Nightmare on Elm Street, reruns of In Living Color......

[GreenArcherXVII]

@GreenArcherXVII Oh and I could never beat NES Metroid or Uncle Festers Quest...... there I'm done, I miss the 80's into the 90's ... auto tune, CGI, "green" cars and exploitation of resurrected marvel super hero movies can F off..... now go get me a Surge, some air heads, and a box of Super Mario cereal...

[Zeekiebusta]

[gibsosgerbil]

[favave]

[kenbone78358]

[LoneSageR]

thanks for stamping the video with your username in the top right corner. ass.

[tanax1973]

Epic video!!!.

[uncleartie]

This was state-of-the-art for 1986. Twenty-five years on, it's still fantastic. 

[InfiniteDub]

HQ in 240p? alright then...

[winston678]

was and is still great

[DrRonPaul]

At 3:16....greatest moment in music video history.

You're not allowed to disagree.

[ultimatewarrior597]

HQ AUDIO not the video dumbfucks

[roboyle]

J'adore!

[ap601983]

HQ = Horrible Quality!

[GermanysLastHope]

thats not HQ!!

[SEVFEST]

One of the best videos ever created

[Binford8100]

I kicked the habit.

Shed my skin.

This is the new stuff.

I come DANCING in.

Mr Gabriel, these four lines helped me through a hard time and probably "saved" my life. Intended or not, I thank you for that.

[fleischpudding]

@Binford8100 if you every want some crystal meth give me a call

[Binford8100]

@fleischpudding

hehe good one.

[FluffyBunniesOnFire]

Was the claymation done by the Quay Brothers? It's almost as wild as Bruce Bickford's work.

[aQSteve]

Be realistic if you'd never heard it and someone said theres a song about a sledgehammer, you'd think OMg that sounds like a load of crack but it just works. And its timeless. Its just as good now as when I first heard it 20 years ago.

[Badmsm123]

Aardman: Same animators who brought you 'Wallace & Grommit" ,'Chicken Run" and all the Chevron commercials. :)

[MrPinguinok]

amo este tema

[joolspirog]

why, now, all opf a sudden , do I see a collaboration with Talking heads would have been brilliant

[edcasabonne]

@joolspirog: Like totally man! That would have been tubular!!

[jimicapone]

The greatest video and song ever.

[sualvlis]

@jimicapone I absolutely agree!!!

[FlareSideMuzik]

yeah thats art right there, reminds me of the shit they came out with in the 90s like that nine inch nails vid, some directors are wacked out but its great and memorable

[MattTrevithickMovies]

Nick Park (Wallace and Gromit) worked on this video when he joined Aardman Animations. (Wikipedia says he worked on the oven-ready chickens part.)

[xxswistaxx]

´n echt dicker Ohrwurm !

[neolexington]

I remember watching this video when I was little. LOL

[Zeanu]

Video's like something for Tool.

[FlareSideMuzik]

@Zeanu yeah i just wrote a comment but couldnt think of tool, also phil collins land of confusion, love these weird vids lol.

[joshmalexander1982]

High Quality Audio my ass...

[Supersweetguy]

@joshmalexander1982 For an music video released in 1986? Tell, was there an HD available back then? Or maybe DTS-HD, or even DolbyTrueHD back then? You have got to be kidding.

[MrAkboomer]

@joshmalexander1982 Better than Nothing! ;D

[Damion5488]

@joshmalexander1982 Actually an, 'ass', is an animal similar to a donkey. Jesus rode into Jerusalem on one ...

[boywaimea]

@joshmalexander1982 like it was just recorded at a higher recording level

[captainpiccard]

@joshmalexander1982 fuck, i was just ABOUT TO TYPE EXACTLY THAT

[gtarz40ful]

@joshmalexander1982 lol good song though.

[ginoboy9]

"Sledgehammer is definitely a sexual nickname." Ya think?

[epicgma69]

After watching this, and thinking about the lyrics, and watching this video, "Sledgehammer" is definetly a sexual nickname. Think about it the video starts with a sperm fertilizing an egg, and just think about the lyrics, and there you have it.

[GalaxyBlasterX]

......what the fuck did I just watch?

[zachmasterzach]

Song is as good as the video.

[TA8AT]

I think this was the most hardest video making ever... look at that! it's insane!

[beatlebob101]

See i really didnt like 80s music...then thus angel of a song was sent to me.....this song= AMAZING

[KrazyKali69]

25 years later, and still nothing as creative as this!

[JollyRogerVF84]

One of the best 80s songs and a great video!!!

[2attached]

@JollyRogerVF84 Agreed!

[yellowdog2468]

When this video came out and for years after it was considered the best video of all time, gosh MTV sucks now!

[nonvolt]

HAHAHA, someone get stonned and watch this video :P tell me does it get better XD

[cheifguggletram]

@nonvolt no.

[AFrattz1]

Dancing chicken FTW.

[PointThree]

Some of the songs on this album are pretty good... But this song is atrocious and so is the video. Especially when it shows a face made out of fruit, singing. That is seriously one of the most gaudy things I've ever seen. Melt is a masterpiece.

[lesterclaypool1]

@PointThree

"..This song is atrocious..."

Are you having us on? This song is fucking empowering. Play it on a jukebox in the biggest dive you can find and watch those assembled sit up a little straighter and start grooving.
