Sledgehammer official music video by Peter Gabriel

"Sledghammer" is an iconic video, the most played video in MTV history. Its claymation effects are enjoyable and the song itself grooves irresistably. Peter Gabriel sings about proposed sexual activities with the woman of his choice while airplanes fly around his head, dead chickens dance, and everyone parties at the end.
