Peter Gabriel wants to crowdsource a remake of ‘Sledgehammer’

In the annals of music video history, Peter Gabriel’s ‘Sledgehammer’ is a classic. Now the singer is asking his Facebook fans to recreate parts of it.

According to Mashable, an interactive tab on Gabriel’s Facebook page allows people to pick a scene from the video and recreate it. They can do so either using their webcam or by pre-recording it and uploading to YouTube.

The public then gets to vote for the scenes and the ones with the most votes stand the chance to win a number of prizes as well as a place in the remake of the video.

The competition is tied to the 25th anniversary release of Gabriel’s So album.

Sledgehammer won nine MTV Video Music Awards in 1987 and is reportedly the most played video in MTV history.
