Wait: What was that at the beginning of the video?
"Open up your fruitcakes".
I 1 saw this video when i was a kid I thought it was a cool video
I must say, his music video is one of th oldest, but still famous videos around, and with good reason I might add.
Great music to work by....
Fruit that is sweet as can be. Put your mind at rest. This could be my testimony. Let there be no doubt about it. I kick the habit. Shed the skin. We go dancing in. Gonna feel the power. come on help me through. These are all expressions of Christ. Listen to this tune with Jesus in mind and it will tell a different story. Have an ear and eye for The Holy Spirit and you will hear and see things differently. God Bless, Rev Rob
Reminds me of "Roll With It" by Steve Winwood.
The stop-motion animation video for this song is one of the most incredible pieces of performance art ever!

Shaking The Tree is by far and away the best of Peter Gabriel's music catalog. Everything else is Great too (Biko, Sledge Hammer, The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway ad infinitum... ) but for my money, Shaking The tree is the best, especially when you see him and the band playing it onstage and grapevining all over the place!

I remember asking my dad what this song was about when I was little, and when he wouldn't tell me, I knew it had something to do with sex XD
i really like it but In your eyes is my favorite :)
