Games Without Frontiers by Peter Gabriel

“Theme: Whistling "Jeux Sans Frontiers (Games Without Frontiers)" was a TV game show that was known in Britain as "It's A Knockout!" It ran from 1965-1999. Originally it was intended to foster friendship between France and Germany on the 20th anniversary of the end or World War II. Peter Gabriel takes the show and it's political background and twists it into a cynical, bleak song about war. Whistling by Steve Lillywhite, Peter Gabriel, and one other person whose name escapes me.”
