The song's title refers to Jeux sans frontières, a long-running TV show broadcast in several European countries. Teams representing a town or city in one of the participating countries would compete in games of skill, often while dressed in bizarre costumes. While some games were simple races, others allowed one team to obstruct another. The British version was titled It's a Knockout-words that Gabriel mentions in the lyrics. source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Games_Without_Frontiers_(song)

[@annaz9416]

Thanks for the explanation! My husband and I,are Italians and we describe the show to our American friends and one of our friend asked us if the Peter Gabriel song was about the tv show we were talking about!!!

[@MOne-ps2sg]

It absolutely does not!

[@kege1]

Jeux Sans Frontières (English: Games Without Frontiers or Games Without Borders) was a Europe-wide television game show. In English-speaking countries, the show is also known as It's a Knockout, the title of the BBC's domestic version.

Wrong! "Jeux sans frontières (pronounced [ʒø sɑ̃ fʁɔ̃tjɛʁ]; "Games Without Borders" in French) was a Europe-wide television game show, based on the French programme Intervilles which was first broadcast in 1962. In its original conception, it was broadcast from 1965 to 1999 under the auspices of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), which owned the format. In non French-speaking countries, the show had alternative titles.[a] It is also widely known as It's a Knockout, the title of the BBC's domestic version and national selection for the programme. "

@@hector_18xxdo you know whats the significance to this song

[@hector_18xx]

@@theamalgamatedtheory ""Games Without Frontiers" is a song written and recorded by English rock musician Peter Gabriel. It was released on his 1980 self-titled solo album, where it included backing vocals by Kate Bush. The song's lyrics are interpreted as a commentary on war and international diplomacy being like children's games." So what?

I’ve been down w/ this little classic since its release in the 80s… ❤️🤍💙. However… It was FX’s The Americans that brought me back here… 🫶🏻🙌👍🏻✊🏻✌️🤘🏻💪🏻🙏‼️‼️‼️ If you go back and listen to the song a number of times, though, you’ll find that Peter is [subliminally] referencing the Cold War. And like the Cold War, where the two superpowers-USA 🇺🇸 and USSR-never locked horns directly, but confronted each other via Third World client states AND their NATO/Warsaw Pact bandwagon coalitions… 1.) The names allude to those 3rd party states: -Hans and Adolf (Germany 🇩🇪), -Lotte (Portugal 🇵🇹 (?)) -Jane (Canada 🇨🇦 (?)) -Willi (Netherlands 🇳🇱 (?)) -Suki (Japan 🇯🇵(?)) -Leo (Belgium 🇧🇪(?)) -Sacha, Czech Republic 🇨🇿 or Slovakia 🇸🇰 (??)), -Britt (GB 🇬🇧), -Enrico (Spain 🇪🇸, and/or Latin America), -Andre (France 🇫🇷, w/ the “red flag alluding to French socialist leanings as well as “non-conformity” to NATO doctrine!!!), -Chiang Ching (China 🇨🇳, and [her] “coercion” into the affairs of Macau 🇲🇴 and Hong Kong 🇭🇰, w/ the “blue flag” concealing [her] TRUE Maoist-Stalinist intentions for the latter two), -Lin Tai Yu (Taiwan 🇹🇼(?); the “all have hills to fly them [flags] on except for […]” represents “Chiang Chung’s” efforts to alienate AND ostracize “Lin Tau Yu” UNLESS [she] gets in line with Maoist “party lines”!!!); 2.) The other lyrics seem to refer to the general workings OF the Cold War, or affecting the “movement of the pieces on the chess ♟️ board: -Baboons in the jungle (not being racist, but COULD allude to Africa in general), -Dunes by the seaside (possibly a sorta “cajoling” to the Arab World/Middle East), -Whistling tunes (Possibly trying to curry favor with India 🇮🇳, SE Asia, and Oceania), -Dressing up in costumes (obviously, the military uniforms of all the military forces involved), -Playing silly game(e.g., these “silly games” COULD refer to Cold War events like… A.) The Korean War, B.) The Berlin Wall, C.) The Vietnam War, D.) The Contra-Sandinista Affair, E.) The Falkland Islands 🇫🇰 War… …and other conflicts involving involving superpowers’ client states or what could be called “expendable proxies”, -Hiding out in tree tops (everyone involved just taking a “wait and watch” stance, not wanting to the “SOB who starts WWIII”!!!), -Shouting out rude names (there’s always gonna be SOMEONE who’s gonna provoke the “other guys” into “making the first move or throwing the first punch”!!!), -IT’S A KNOCKOUT…(Mutually Assured Destruction, No Winners…End of Debate(???)!!!)!!! & finally… 3.) She’s so popular- -Death…in the Cold War, it was the lucky ones who’d die FIRST and FAST; -Famine…the unlucky ones who SLOWLY and PAINFULLY (e.g., the famine crisis in sub-Saharan Africa, esp. Ethiopia 🇪🇹!!!); -Pestilence…referring to the AIDS/HIV crisis AND the precursor to the War On Drugs (e.g., the crack epidemics of 1983 and 1986, and the effects they had on the social order; ESPECIALLY within certain ethnic communities in the USA 🇺🇸 ⚠️⚠️⚠️) -WAR (aka, “she…”)…in the words of Lex Luther- “Nobody WANTS war, but it’s just more PROFITABLE to keep the ‘threat’ alive.”

[@beverlyledbetter4906]

Great song! I was in high school when this dropped, and it seemed so intelligent and meaningful. I'd always assumed it was French being said, but had no idea what the words meant, nor was I ever sure of the pronunciation. Mystery solved about 40 yrs later thanks to finding this. But it's effin' redonkulous that the word "piss" was ever censored. FFS people can be such hot house flowers, "oh my ears!". 🙄

LYRIC ALERT: In the album version it's "Whistling tunes we piss on the goons in the jungle". It is an anti-war song after all. Only the single version uses "Whistling tunes we're kissing baboons in the jungle", which makes no sense, but it is radio friendly.

This song intrigues and mystifies me. Overall this song reminds me of another one of the "Those Who Don't Know History Are Bound To Repeat It" type of songs, with an intriguing message that will hold its value for decades to come. "...Adolf builds a bonfire" is referring to Adolf Hitler, the German dictator who eventually led the entire world into WWII. "...Enrico plays with it" is referring to Enrico Fermi, the guy who developed the nuclear bomb. Two of them were dropped on Japan near the end of WWII. However, since then, the world has had a continuing nuclear arms race.

@@kimjones1303 Monsieur Gabriel gave us plenty to speculate about; so how about Enrico referencing Enrico Fermi, the architect of the atomic bomb that was the finale to Adolf's "bonfire"? If he had wanted to follow the fascist link, it could have been; "Adolf builds a bonfire / Benito plays with it" As in Benito Mussolini, or "Il Duce" if you prefer.

That is exactly what I thought it was.

[@ariadnestardust3872]

Os "Jogos sem fronteiras" terão resultado de uma ideia do presidente Charles de Goulle, para que no pós guerra, os jovens franceses e alemães fizessem amizade. Esses confrontos, transmitidos nas televisões europeias, foram uma guerra sem armas e sem lágrimas. Peter Gabriel descreve os jogos de forma magistral remetendo-nos para a segunda guerra mundial em que Adolf Hitler começa a fogueira com que Enrico Fermi (físico envolvido na construção da primeira bomba atómica) entrou na "brincadeira". "Dressing up in costumes" - estas roupas usadas nos jogos também podem ser uma metáfora para as fardas militares. Uma obra prima de Peter Gabriel!
