This song will now forever remind me of Southpark. The episode when Wendy breaks up with Stan, and Stan is told if he wants to win here back all he has to do is go stand outside her house, and hold a boombox over his head playing a Peter Gabriel song. This is the some he plays.

I for one, enjoy Peter Gabriel very much... however, this tune always seems to get way too much play.

And they say subtle humour is lost on Americans. I presume you are being humourous btw!!

I appreciate the contribution of Peter Gabriel to music, but sometimes simply cannot stand his histrionic voice. Too weird sometimes for me.

The German version of Security sounds half-assed produced to me. A lot of the polish and extra sounds are sorely lacking.

Probably a contractual obligation, like the Beatles' Spanish albums.
