Jump in the water
Sweet little princess
Let me introduce his frogness
You alone can get him singing
He's all puffed up, wanna be your king
Oh you can do it
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon
Lady kiss that frog

Splash, dash heard your call
Bring you back your golden ball
He's gonna dive down in the deep end
He's gonna be just like your best friend

So what's one little kiss
One tiny little touch
Aah, he's wanting it so much
I swear that this is royal blood
Running through my skin
Oh can you see the state I'm in
Kiss it better
Kiss it better
(Kiss that frog)

Get it into your head
He's living with you, he sleeps in your bed
Can't you hear beyond the croaking
Don't you know that I'm not joking

Aah, you think you won't
I think you will
Don't you know that this tongue can kill
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon
Lady, kiss that frog

Let him sit beside you
Eat right off your plate
You don't have to be afraid
There's nothing here to hate
Princess you might like it
If you lower your defense
Kiss that frog and you will get your prince
Get your prince

(Singing now...!)
Jump in the water, c'mon, baby, jump in with me
Jump in the water, c'mon baby get wet with me

Jump in the water, c'mon, baby, jump in with me
Jump in the water, c'mon baby get wet, get wet, get wet

''(While scatting:)''
Kiss that frog. Kiss that frog. Lady, kiss that frog.
Kiss that frog. Lady, kiss that frog.
Kiss that frog. Lady, kiss that frog.

Jump in the water, c'mon baby jump in with me
Jump in the water, c'mon baby jump in with me
Jump in the water, c'mon baby jump in with me
Jump in the water, c'mon baby get wet with me.

Get wet, get wet.
Get wet, get wet.
Get wet, get wet.
Get wet, get wet.

I'd rather hear something from the studio US album - 'love to be loved' or 'only us'. This version of 'kiss that frog' is kind of bland.

Is ANY man above singing that? I don't think that's possible. :LOL: Not trying to start a gender war, just saying . . .

I enjoy Peter's world-flavored stuff, but this is a bit too "canned". I (and he) cold certainly do without those backup singers. Ugh. 4.

I will say this about PG, he certainly has a wide range of music

I've never heard this song before and the group that came to mind when I was trying to figure out who it was by is Wham!

This song should have its own 80's movie. I imagine this as a song form the movie Mannequin or some Breakfast Club'ish movie.

Family Guy "lets go to the hop..." ____________________________ So there is Kiss that frog. The greatest hits album was called "shaking the tree". Are there a whole list of gabriel tunes with this type title that create a dance called the "Pete Gabriel Jive"? Just curious.

I like loads of Gabriel songs. Never much liked the original of this and the Live version does nothing to improve it.
Posted 17 years ago by stubbsz    [ Reply ]
i was soooo scared to come here and see all the PG freaks fawning over this song. I'm delightfully surprised to see that most of the PG freaks don't like this song either!
Posted 17 years ago by thatslongformud    [ Reply ]
Personally I've never rated a PG song under 8 on here until now. And this is a 3.

A lot of PG is godlike. This...not so much.

I like Peter Gabriel. But this just sounds like a reworking of all the same musical ideas in Sledgehammer.

He really goes off the deep end sometimes.
Posted 18 years ago by UltraNurd    [ Reply ]
Hahaha, pretty funny when Peter Gabriel comes on. I like his music, but I think it's been established that he's overplayed here. Funny to read people's song reviews..

Wow you couldn't be more wrong. Have you ever been to one of his live shows, or just seen it on TV? His live shows are amazing Secret World Live is one of his best "albums". I prefer listening to this over "Us" and "So" (and I adore both of those). Especially Paula Cole's voice on backgrounds instead of (ugh) Kate Bush.

Saw a bit of PG Llve in concert on the tube. It looked rather forced and just not that great. I agree with the one poster...better at studio work. Besides, he has not aged as well as some rockers...

Being French Canadian, I would have to agree with Mr. Gabriel on this one....yes, kiss this frog!

Some frogs can cause you to trip when you lick them. I hear they are plentiful in Australia-gotta go there some day.

OK,now--This is the first time I've ever heard this song and I thought it was George Michael.
Posted 18 years ago by handyrae    [ Reply ]
I think he wrote this after he met Andrew Lloyd Weber

This might be the 1st PG that I've rated below 8. I hope I never hear Big or Sledgehammer on here.

Toss a plugged-in appliance into the water while you are at it. This is not a very good PG song, IMHO. He's done much better.

From what I've heard, PG is a great live act. I've heard he's able to add so much more to what you hear on the CD. And his live stuff sounds much better. And no, I'm not being contrary because you are from Ann Arbor.

How many times can Peter Gabriel get away with re-recording "Sledgehammer"? (I know the title says "Kiss that frog", but I am not fooled that easily!)
You are right. Never liked Sledgehammer much anyway, and I generally like Peter Gabriel. This is bad.

PGs live versions of his own songs are often very different from the studio versions, and often as good or better. I like this version.
Posted 19 years ago by jeremyleo    [ Reply ]
A variation on Sledge-hammer, but not at all as catchy, I think.
