- oF COURSE EVERYONE knew it was Kate Bush, she was credited on the album cover. Gabriel's first choice was Dolly Parton. Kate also did backups on Games Without Frontiers, and she sucked. -- (edited) - loosilu Apr 27, 17:32
- Kate Bush did such a good job Peter Gabriel gave her a promotion six years later for Don't Give Up. -- nm - Max Apr 27, 17:29 2
  - I completely hate her backup on Games Without Frontiers. Hate. He wanted Dolly Parton for Don't Give up. -- nm* - loosilu Apr 27, 17:42
  - They're a pretty perfect pairing. -- nm - Dark Callisto Apr 27, 17:37
- Does Sting on "Money for Nothing" or Michael Jackson on "Somebody's Watching Me" count? -- nm - Mop Apr 27, 17:21 1
  - They were SO obvious they literally sent those singles up the charts. -- nm - loosilu Apr 27, 17:26
- I always wondered if that was Michael McDonald on Christopher Cross's "Ride Like the Wind" -- nm - Mop Apr 27, 17:20 6
  - Confession: When I see references to Michael McDonald, I briefly think it's Christopher McDonald. nm - ralph wiggum Apr 27, 17:25 3
    - When I see Christopher Cross I expect some kid wearing his jeans backward. -- nm - Max Apr 27, 17:31 2
      - Christopher Cross looks like both members of Tenacious D. -- (link) - Reagen Apr 27, 17:34 [Image] 1
        
        He had COVID-19. Left him temporarily paralyzed. -- nm - Dark Callisto Apr 27, 17:35
  - He sang backing vocals for everyone. -- nm - loosilu Apr 27, 17:23
  - Of course it is. SCTV had a classic skit about it. -- nm - Reagen Apr 27, 17:21
- 5 is the only one that I knew about. I can hear 12 just replaying it in my head -- nm - prayformojo Apr 27, 17:08 2
  - 5 was a very big deal in Canada at the time as you might imagine. -- nm - Reagen Apr 27, 17:10 1
    - I'd say so, considering he was your Prime Minister at the time or something -- nm - prayformojo Apr 27, 17:15
The song isn't quite as iconic but Dire Straits "Money For Nothing " featuring Sting. -- nm - zunkskunk Apr 27, 16:57
and i'd love to know how the hell that came about -- nm - prayformojo Apr 27, 16:56
whoa. just playing the song in my head, I can't hear that at all. -- nm - prayformojo Apr 27, 16:55 2
- Once you know to listen for it, you can really tell in the second half of the song. nm - ralph wiggum Apr 27, 16:59 1
  - holy cow, there it is! - prayformojo Apr 27, 17:03
