- "Games Without Frontiers" is a song written and recorded by English rock musician Peter Gabriel. It was released on his 1980 self-titled solo album, where it included backing vocals by Kate Bush. The song's lyrics are interpreted as a commentary on war and international diplomacy being like children's games. The video includes film clips of Olympic events and scenes from the 1951 educational film Duck and Cover, which used a cartoon turtle to instruct US schoolchildren on what to do in case of nuclear attack. This forlorn imagery tends to reinforce the song's anti-war theme. Two versions of the music video were initially created for the song, followed by a third one made in 2004. The single became Gabriel's first top-10 hit in the United Kingdom, peaking at No. 4, and – tied with 1986's "Sledgehammer" – his highest-charting song in the United Kingdom. It peaked at No. 7 in Canada, but only at No. 48 in the United States. The B-side of the single consisted of two tracks combined into one: "Start" and "I Don't Remember". (en)
- Games Without Frontiers est le quatrième single du chanteur britannique Peter Gabriel et paru comme premier extrait de son troisième album studio éponyme. La chanteuse Kate Bush participe aux chœurs du titre. Les paroles de la chanson sont interprétées comme un commentaire sur la guerre et la diplomatie internationale ressemblant à des jeux pour enfants. Le clip vidéo comprend des extraits de films d'événements olympiques et des scènes du film éducatif Duck and Cover de 1952, qui utilisait une tortue de bande dessinée pour enseigner aux écoliers américains ce qu'il faut faire en cas d'attaque nucléaire. Cette imagerie désespérée tend à renforcer le thème anti-guerre de la chanson. Le single est devenu le premier top 10 de Gabriel au Royaume-Uni, culminant en 4e place des charts et à égalité avec Sledgehammer, six ans plus tard, sa chanson la plus classé au Royaume-Uni. Il a culminé au n°7 au Canada, mais seulement au n°48 aux États-Unis. La face B du single est composée de deux pistes combinées en une, Start et I Don't Remember, qui figurent également sur le troisième album. (fr)
