"Andre has a red flag, Chiang Ching's is blue
They all have hills to fly them on except for Lin Tai Yu
Dressing up in costumes, playing silly games
Hiding out in tree-tops shouting out rude names."

Facts about this song:

• The song's title and lyrics refer to a long-running TV show in the 1960s and 1970s.
• The album version of the song includes the line "Whistling tunes we piss on the goons in the jungle". This was replaced for the single release with a more radio-friendly repeat of the line "Whistling tunes we're kissing baboons in the jungle".
• The whistling is performed by Peter Gabriel himself, along with producers Steve Lillywhite and Hugh Padgham.

Oh yeah, one more thing. It is also a fact that this is one of my favorite songs of all times.

Peter Gabriel – Games without frontiers is found on the record “Peter Gabriel” released in 1980.
