Used to be a show called "jeux sans frontieres" international tournament between cities or towns from different countries they would compete in silly games usually on ridiculous sets and in funny costumes but all took it very seriously! In the UK the game was called "it's a knockout".So you have the line" games without frontiers,war without tears",the repeated refrain in the background is"je sans frontieres" and he finally says "it's a knockout" ,to a 57 year old Brit it's obvious but I get how in the US or even younger Brits get confused.

The experience of Peter Gabriel isn’t complete without listening to “Biko”, about the black human rights activist murdered while in police custody during apartheid in South Africa. If you listen to the official song you’ll hear a crowd singing at the beginning and end. This is the actual crowd recorded during Biko’s funeral. Peter’s song helped to bring worldwide attention to what was happening there. Beyond that anything from the Secret World Live tour is fantastic. Also “Father, Son”, “Here Comes The Flood”, “Signal to Noise”, “Kiss of Life”, the list goes on and on.

Soon after its release, a copy of "Biko" was seized by South African customs and submitted to the Directorate of Publications, which banned the song and the album on which it featured for being critical of apartheid, calling it "harmful to the security of the State. Miami Vice played the song in one of their episodes in 1985 not knowing the song was in the program it was shown in South Africa which caused uproar across the country

This song was written during the height of the Cold War with the Soviet Union. It's about how nuclear missiles can reach the other side of the world and obliterate entire nations, cultures, regions. That's what "without frontiers" means -- national boundaries don't define who can attack who in wars anymore. Russia could launch a wave of nuclear missiles at whatever nation it wants across the world. That's also what "war without tears" means, because no one in the aftermath of the attack will be left in the target areas to weep for their lost loved ones.

"Jeux Sans Frontières..." or "Games Without Borders" was a European based franchise of game shows. The roots of the show came from France with the first version of it called "Intervilles..." or "The Beautiful Games." It was created to be a friendly, but serious competition between different towns within the region. Since it was town vs town, every town that competed wanted their town to be recognized as the best. This meant that the competitors would play their hearts out to win. The fact that this show had the ability to bring out the best in anyone who took part in it would be the driving force behind it's popularity spreading all over Europe. Peter Gabriel was obviously infatuated with how amazing of an idea it was...but then again...who wouldn't be? When you pit towns against each other in competition with the reason in mind of bringing them closer together...that is GENIUS in EVERY SENSE OF THE WORD!!! We need a modern version of this today, and it should be a worldwide thing rather than being limited to only one continent.

Always loved this song by Gabriel. You got a good vibe from this. Interestingly, so many listeners thought that the refrain was "She's so popular" when it first aired on the radio. There were different visuals used earlier on and that might have contributed to that interpretation. Sledge Hammer was also great (as you reference). In Your eyes is also a great tune; Big Time, Down to Earth (from the movie Wall-e; picks up a gospel vibe), and Rhythm of the Heat for a wild percussion ride.

Many may not know that the song's title refers to "Jeux Sans Frontières" (That's what the female voice [Kate Bush] sings), a long-running TV show broadcast in several European countries. From Wikipedia: 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.

Very astute interpretation of the song. I agree and hadn't thought of it until seeing the video. I loved this song from back in the day. Up until the inet, I never knew he was saying games without frontiers in French.

Appreciate your response videos. Great song describing how we're conditioned to relate to one another. I won't succumb. Gabriel was right on.... He's an amazing lyricist and musician. ❤️

PG is the first to say that people make of their songs what they need to. This one has always spoken to me about the endless ideological and factional violence on this planet, the war "games" that we so often carry out in the shadows, both brutal and deniable. I can't recommend enough the live version from Athens 1987 - it blows the beat to the very next level. Love this channel!

For years - YEARS! - I thought the lyric he was singing was "she's so pop-u-lar" but it's "jeux sans frontiers" (Games without frontiers).

Jamal, i'm enthralled by your intro cuz he forwarded himself to be an, imo, exceptional solo artist. He had the groove early-on, imo. it was on my radio back then, & I never got over it. It's a knockout ;)✌️
