[Gamingzone12]

@ChaosConRad

[goufygoggs]

Ramba Ral brought me here.

[AlisonAddiction420]

[FF8lover1]

[ericburroughs]

Too much Chapstick!

[JOEBROWN08]

[timmonsisawesome]

suburban tribe's shock the monkey is better!

[ZachVMNTX1]

I got here because hte thumbnail looked like David Tennant

[EZYves]

I don't know how anyone can not like this song! :) It's freakin' AWESOME!! and it's pretty funny too! lol :D I love it! Oh baby, get down. It always makes me want to get up off my computer and just dance, screaming "HEY, HEY! SHOCK THE MONKEY!" lol :) bahahaha! lmao!!XD

[KrispieKomrad]

thumbs up if nothing told you to come here and it was out of your own love for good 80's music

[rgaleny]

Shock the monkey made a nice suggestive double intention hook, but in a world of pressures we all learn the hard way. "Don't like it, but I guess I'm learning." Also, See Island of lost souls.

[AlisonAddiction420]

dude ouch...



[ridgeback69z]

Southpark..........no doubt. Punks havent a clue lmfao

[EdHunter2112]

Bitch Wendy...how do you do it to Stan!!!!

[tallkeithatl]

This is one of the most brilliant videos from the 80's, very ahead of its time, like Peter Gabriel himself.

[DonnaShark]

Gotye SOCKS ))))))

[diedloling]

lol southpark brought me here guess i needa play this outside someones window for the hell of it and love the song all together

[TheRickc67]

one the first videos that i enjoyed watching entirely creative & unsusual.

[alexisurunde]

SOUTH PARK! :D

[therealraybaby]

#81(Tie)

[imajeepster]

I can't believe how much he's aged since then...

[magic8ballgirl]

Thumbs up if your dad brought you here.

[szzanti]

fuck LMFAO, this should be banging at the clubs.

[skdukureh]

@szzanti I would have danced to it!

[gumbyman540]

Thumbs up all your asses, motherfuckers.

[RetroGamingScot]

Spank the monkey, Spank the monkey!....Spank the monkey tonight

[AphoticAgony]

kate bush brought me here

[KierstenB14]

Thumbs up if barely political brought you here

[SPKaa]

This was sooo progressive for its time. As a kid, I thought this was just "odd." I listen back now, and everything is amazing. The imagery (dualistic corporate thinking masquerading as tribal legitimacy), the tech (amazing m/s audio happening for the time), the camera work, and the post production are all MILES ahead. Also, Tony Levin on stick, ladies and gentlemen. I knew it without even reading.

[isoChampion]

key of awesome brought me here :D

[DDLovatoWisinYandel]

south park brought me here ! XD

[killerbee208]

37 people dont know music

[WRECKemALL69]

south park brought me here

[MAJORTOMSLAYER]

thums up if you never heard of him then watched south park

[millewongisAZN]

lol, Key of Awesome brought me here XD



[JEP1776AEP]

@millewongisAZN damn rite!

[111JRO]

@millewongisAZN me too!!!

[nightsaturn]

He's such an inspiration to me... I wish people of my generation were looking more at artist of this standard. All hail the monkey man.

[d0cta]

Who thinks this crazy stuff up?? Peter Gabriel does.

But seriously, can you imagine directing this video @ 1:18?

Peter: "I'll be in all white, beating some sticks to the beat. Then I'll stick my head out of some flowers. Then come back to me and i'll be in a ring of fire... And it'll be awesome!"

Director: "yea, whatever you say Mr. Gabriel…"

[ElveeKaye]

@d0cta

Peter: "And then later, I'll be attacked by an angry midget."

Director: O_o

[xxolympicgirl06]

Is it okay that this is one of my favorite songs ever? Peter Gabriel is a musical genius, I wish I was alive in the eighties.

[tpaladino]

Remember when music videos were actually artistic and creative?

[Nightmike1989]

Peter is definitely a league of his own, one of the best videos he ever made, and his true genius continues to shine all over.

[TRANZEURO]

The TRUE genius of Genesis ! (I think). Not that other guy who was the drummer,and later wrote 'Sussuicidal'

[AtariMan76]

37 people don't wanna shock the monkey

[Morganzo7]

Thumbs up if you think Peter Gabriel sounds like a great porn name.

[zuperduper5]

Thumbs up if the Love of 80's music brought you here!

[R32VLEYLAND]

Thumbs up if you heard this on SouthPark.

[spadehatesscrewtube]

see kids, this is why the 80's ruled. actual artists with creativity and talent. i also particularly liked mr. gabriels collaborations with laurie anderson.

[iamqwot]

Thumbs up if when you can't see his face, you think it's Phil Collins.

[wonderfulbread]

thumbs up if south parlk brought you here

[MLogaridis]

you was and always be the leader of GENESIS

[littlecave]

I love the part at 1:55

[kd4adv]

this was back when he had hair lol

[mpdalyful1]

that song was the highlight of his concert at the point in 1993.

[Drak3e1]

thumbs if that one episoide of South Park sent you here, you know where Stan went emo and played this song for Wendy because Bebe said play some Peter Gabriel

[enzothebaker22]

Don't 'cha monkey with the Monkey! You're damned skippy...

[Whitestuffco]

Thumbs up if you've jacked off to that video of professors destroying monkeys

[Spindlemeister]

37 Monkeys got shocked!

[MisterDaveKnave]

POOR MONKEY!!

[mr5exywolf]

Explain this song please. Somebody. I like the song but WTF does it mean lyrically. Thank you.

[lalagummybearcarrot]

Damn, this song really stood the test of time. It's so layered and complex, it easily could have been released in contemporary times. It's not confined to an 80s sound

[b4diguard]

Cool Song!..love the beat!

[Waddetree]

"We'll it drove the hell out of phill when Peter's lyrics were too deep"

 Can you understand "The Monkey".......

[MrGeremy123]

thumbs up if you brought yourself here.

[roshong3]

Pete looks a little like Kevin Spacey in this video.

[472522mastermind]

@roshong3 That doesn't matter, as long he makes wonderful music,....

[Quex01]

Fuck the monkey - get AIDS.

[brikrantz]

I love this shit@! When MTV was new, this video was considered "ground breaking". I think they were right!

[mikemat3307]

@brikrantz All of his videos were groundbreaking at the time they were released. Each successive video he released was better than the previous.

[jackrabbitslim26]

if you like this song, go listen to a song called "Somebody I Used to Know" by Gotye. I'ts amazing. The guy's voice reminds me a lot of Peter Gabriel's

[screamingfaye2]

@jackrabbitslim26 That's what I thought.So then I had to listen to some of Peter Gabriel songs I like.

[littlecave]

@jackrabbitslim26 I know!

[EclecticEntity]

37 people are monkeys.

[broqpace]

Thumbs up if Rise of the Planet of the Apes brought you here.

[bigsbz]

I always thought thas this song (and this whole album, for that matter) had refences to eastern religions. I used this album as part of a media project for a world religions class.

[danmundt]

;No its not about Motown Dumb ass In the cold war a monkey was an enemy opperative DUMB crapper

[OttoLund]

Nice :)

abeldanger(dot)net

[OralAgreement69]

this song is racist. its about MOTOWN

[gumbyman540]

@OralAgreement69 , cold war issues.

[OralAgreement69]

peter's best song. monkey hands down

[schalana101]

Mr. Gabriel you REALLY are something... amazing.

[Acquarina008]

i love this song!<3

[dennisbudasz123123]

The mon key only came here searching bannanas.

[jake3040]

finding this song was wayyyyyyy too hard

[cookiehead2]

It gets sexy at 2:45

[MrRanger654]

37 people are shocked monkeys XD

[indiocharrua1]

Roooockkkk me Mon--key----------> yeah!!!!!!!!!

[Rushville030]

The monkey reminds me of Hangover I & II...........the creative minds should've jumped all over this and requested/paid for the use of this tune for the soundtrack of Hangover Part II instead of letting Mike Tyson sing. A great opportunity missed to introduce today's youth to this very talented man and boost sales for their endeavour

[kalangab2010]

when i listen this amazing song i was in high school,such a good times!!!

[Algonquin81]

Thumbs up if Peter Gabriel brought you here

[luveskittys]

peter gabriel is the most amazing genius EVER.

[Forte9000]

every time i come onto this video, one of the top comments has to deal with South Park wtf way to be original

[YYZ993]

1:24

[italianobro]

[gumbyman540]

@italianobro , you can shock your testicles, you guinea bastard whop. Go choke on you stromboli and garlic bread, greaser. Fuck you and your whore guinea mother, whop. Anytime and anywhere, you stupid guinea bastard whop. You're just a nigger turned inside out, stupid guinea whop spaghetti bender.

[italianobro]

@gumbyman540 Awww:) how cute, and people say Americans are stupid. This boy is clearly educated on my culture! ish

[gumbyman540]

@italianoblow, nothing cute about my aforementioned statement, you are stupid and your culture is corrupt. Capice?

[italianobro]

@gumbyman540 your so right!

[sparkybluefox]

This vidio is SO hot! Thank you Peter Gabriel !

SBF

[FriendNotFoeBand]

Thumbs up if Peter Gabriel's musical genius brought you here.

[katoklzmk]

@FriendNotFoeBand Does it count if it was his gorgeuos indigo eyes??

[FriendNotFoeBand]

@katoklzmk If it counts to you. It counts to livingwater29 apparently. Maybe you can ask him/her/it.

[livingwater29]

THIS IS THE HOTTEST THAT PETER GABRIEL EVER LOOKED........

[Moustachecashstash1]

Jesus... I missed a flame war.

I wish I knew what the argument was over .w.

Anyways, It's a great song, one of my favorites. Really cool video too.

[ScorpioBornIn69]

It's time to spank the monkey, huh, huh, huh. Yeah, yeah, spank the monkey, heh, heh, heh!

[mollymullen1]

@ScorpioBornIn69 it's shock the monkey, my horny friend. but go for it, it's the new year!

[mysticwave]

check out my page



[mysticwave]

thats the shit.

[MsPsyck]

I was 18 and fell in love with Peter Gabriel! Had no idea what this song was about, just thought he was very handsome and I loved the music!

[dietcokeman5150]

anyone know the name of the movie this played in? 

[MsEightyTwo]

SHUT UP GUMBY

[gumbyman540]

@MsEightyTwo, eat my ass, cunt bitch.

[MsEightyTwo]

kartoonkid how did u know?!?!?!?!?!

[gumbyman540]

@Jormungandor, a term used in porn. After the recipient takes it in the ass, she puts it in her mouth. Capice?

[gumbyman540]

@Jormungandor, if you achieved the aforementioned, then enjoy it like I do. Going to watch the back of my eyelids now (3:16 a.m., EST USA).  Ride on (Bon Scott), Jormungandor.

[gumbyman540]

@Jormungandor, nothing wrong with anger, as long as you control it and utilize it to your advantage. Besides, civilized is ordinary and boring. I wish you good fortunes on your pursuit to financial freedom. Chow.

[gumbyman540]

@Jorbungandwhore , is that a toilet we hear flushing? No, it's just that ole douchebag and spermlicker, JorBUNGandwhore spewing it's orifice. Let's compare investment portfolios, profits & loss statements, real assets (income generating rental properties, other passive and portfolio incomes) and see who's more important and financially sound than the other, motherfucker. Your mother should have swallowed, you botched abortion. You don't like my comments? Too bad, bitch. KMA

[kja427]

I liked this tune better than "Sledgehammer"because of the bass riff. This tune was very acid in it's approach; That tune was more alkaline in nature. I'm glad someone put this on YouTube.

[ermac59]

Cover Me..

[JohnnyFriction]

36 people would rather spank the monkey

[BoldogKennel]

About jealousy and our "animal feelings". Man, he was gooooood lookin' back then! Oh Peter, why oh why did you shave your head and start looking like Uncle Fester!!!!??? You broke your #1 fan's heart! : )

[Thepinkfloydmaster]

spank the monkey

[Midnightryder7]

when this came out on MTV i was 18 yrs old...Good times

[screamriot86]

Found this song from the power of the internet

[jorfag43]

excelente video y musivca del gran y unico peter gabriel, lamentablemente confundido con phill collins, pero como el no hay dos, gracias por tu buena musica, fabian

[elderberry9]

Wonderfully creepy song and video. Does anybody know what it's about? Black magic? Insanity?

[StoneFredFlint]

@elderberry9 Heroin withdrawal? Your guess is as good as mine--the imagery is unintelligible, but weirdly cool . . . as you put it nicely, "wonderfully creepy."

[runtripfall54]

@elderberry9 Gabriel has apparently said it is about jealousy.

[LOL4Polio]

I grew up in the 90's and as a child I thought this song said "stop the monkey." I thought, why would they want to stop the monkey? Not that "shock the monkey" would make any more sense to an 8 year old... Great tune!

[scarrmd]

love this song. This is essential 80's at it's very finest!

[SuperMegaUberGenius]

watch?v=sfR_HWMzgyc

[JoeCiaccioProduction]

my friend used to think the lyric seaid "you gota spank the monkey" ahahaha

[Kartoonkid95]

Thumbs up if South Park brought you here.

[0797000]

@Kartoonkid95 ha ha yes it did! luv it!! x

[outrun2outnow]

@Kartoonkid95 It WAS Southpark! Stan's strange ode to his GF... 

[outrun2outnow]

@Kartoonkid95 P.S.: 80s ruled in any way... Those days won't come back no more...

[Nicksolo85]

I still say every time I hear this song, I think of Project X.

[GOPJ00]

this song was played on the matthew broderick movie project x.

[0797000]

fuck!! i love this song!!! xxxx

[squamish4244]

When I was a kid I always wondered what the poor monkey did to deserve to get "shot".

[CallmeToddy]

Musical genius homerun !

[Silkenkilly]

W. T.  F. how did i get here???

[MrTaylorgaz]

Well the entertainment doesn't stop at this fucking legendary song, the comments keep me clambering back for more!

[EnragedClementine]

I have no idea who you are speaking to, but I just want to let you know that your tirade was, by far, one of the funniest (and most creative) rants I have ever read. I do feel sorry for the person you are talking to, but I can't help but laugh. I am half hoping you will tell me off, too. LOL.

[sic82]

Freakin' classic.

[ambereyes1972]

Pixar Logo!!

[Gloriafayesage]

I'm not Irish you arse - don't assume - but u r close and sorry but with a filthy mouth like that I doubt u can get anyone to suck that dirty ol' cock of yours...u r hilarious ...lol...how about u be MY bitch little man - might b fun

[gumbyman540]

@Gloriafayesage , you'd love to suck that dirty ole cock of mine, if you could handle it. You're already my little bitch and probably enjoy anal.

[Gloriafayesage]

@gumbyman540 Hey dude you are so funny - if u werent my bitch then you wouldnt be running to answer my every comment...lol..you are a racist pig with a filthy mind and a foul mouth and I don't do irishmen dear - slight cultural turnoff for me...lol

[gumbyman540]

@Gloriafayesage, hey bitch, you are delusional (please don't flatter yourself, lard ass). Seems like you're the dizzy bitch running to answer my responses. You are a dirty whore slut with a bicameral mind and stinky puss hole (with red ants crawling out of the aforementioned). They only entities that you do are vibrating dildos, clydesdale horses and the southeast bedpost. I'm not a racist, I hate everyone and what's so bad about filthy, beats ordinary, bitch(butch).

[superunt43]

@gumbyman540 What is bicameral?

[gumbyman540]

@superunt43, besides the run of the mill two chamber answer, the aforementioned term refers to a person or entity who follows external authority, instead of being an independent thinker. This term is commonly used by the illuminati/ Nouveau/Neo Tech Society. Suffice?

[SaraJeanM]

@gumbyman540 how do they categorize people with Halos?

[gumbyman540]

@SaraJeanM ,theoretically, Saints.

[K4inan]

@superunt43 It's a hypothesis in psychology that argues that the human brain once assumed a state in which cognitive functions were divided between one part of the brain which appears to be "speaking", and a second part which listens and obeys - a bicameral mind.

[superunt43]

@K4inan What provoked this comment, apologies, busy of late?

[superunt43]

@superunt43 Not to say I enjoy the theory?

[superunt43]

@K4inan female you must be?

[K4inan]

@superunt43 I'm not female.

[gumbyman540]

@K4inan, bullshit answer.

[K4inan]

@gumbyman540 You are.

[gumbyman540]

@K-Y4inan, your worst nightmare, infidel. Look deeper than the dictionary and seek out real world "applied" knowledge and answers.

[AintSheABeute]

@gumbyman540 >infidel

Oh boy.

[gumbyman540]

@AintSheABeute ='s biggest asshole & simpleton reject.
