Phil Phridays! -- The Musical Box

Recorded in 1972 for Belgian television.
Peter Gabriel on vocals, looking like a chick I know at work.
Phil Collins tearing up the drums, growing as much hair as he can before it all falls out.

Phil Phridays! -- Jesus He Knows Me

I listened to this song over and over (and over) as a kid. I can't say whether or not it shaped my spiritual perspectives or made any lasting impressions regarding my views on evangelism, but I can say it was probably the best thing on the radio when the single was released in 1992. At least until I discovered grunge.

Phil Phridays! -- Land of Confusion

God bless the Internet.

I love this song and video for a few reasons:
- "Mama" is not about anybody's mother, at least not in the usual sense of the word. So at first you're all, "Aww, he's singing about his Mama." Then you're all, "Eww."
- The creepy laughter was inspired by Grandmaster Flash's laughter in "The Message." I can't imagine Phil Collins listening to early rap music, or I can, but it's a quite humorous mental image.
- Regarding the video, it's not just film noir, it's sweaty sweltering Key Largo-esque dark shadowy film noir. All it needs is a fat man.
- Phil Collins can be surprisingly terrifying. All it takes is either a low-angle flashlight or massive door frame back-lighting.
