Subject: What is Peter Gabriel saying at the start of SLEDGEHAMMER?

Written By: Wayne on 03/21/06 at 10:03 am

Before he starts singing the lyrics of  Sledgehammer, Peter Gabriel sings something
that sounds like "Trucking.  Everybody dooze it".  I know this can't be right but I can't
figure out what he's saying.  Does anyone know?  Thanks.

Good question - never thought about it until you mentioned it.  I'm gonna go with:  "Hey yeah, it's what we're do-ing"

"Hey yeah", as in the various times he says "yeah".

"It's what we're doing", as in the last line(s) of the song:  (From the 5:16 album version on "So", track 02)

yea yea yea yea yea yea yea yea yea you! (show for me)
I've been feeding the rhythm,
I been feedin' the rhythm (show for you)
it's what we're doing, doing
all day and night... (show for me)
come on, come on, help me do
