038. peter gabriel - out out

Out Out
English 6:49
New Wave, Synthpop
from Gremlins (1984)

I was born in the eighties, but grew up in the nineties.  Most of my fondest memories of my birth year are non-existent, and the years to come I do remember are just as fuzzy.  I do know, though, that I love a dark little Christmas tale called Gremlins.  There's been a longstanding controversy over the lack of release of a complete soundtrack.  Nonetheless, "Out Out" is one of the few songs recorded with vocals.  Surprisingly, it's performed by former Genesis singer Peter Gabriel.  The track is a good understanding of Gabriel's quirky solo style at the time, and should be rediscovered by fans of Gremlins.
