builds a bonfire/Enrico plays with it" echo lines from Evelyn Waugh's V-J Day diary ("Randolph built a bonfire and Auberon fell into it"). Musically, "Games Without Frontiers" opens with a mixture of acoustic and electronic percussion accompanied by a countoff. Synth bass and an angular slide guitar figure enter with Kate Bush's vocals, creating a "dark sonic environment" as described by AllMusic reviewer Steve Huey.

Gabriel's 1991 performance of the song from the Netherlands was beamed via satellite to Wembley Arena in England as part of "The Simple Truth" concert for Kurdish refugees.

This was replaced for the single with a more radio-friendly repeat of the line "Whistling tunes we're kissing baboons in the jungle" from the first chorus.

A third version of the video was created in 2004, when Gabriel himself made the decision to alter the first version for release on the DVD "Play", which compiled 23 music videos from his solo career. This altered version of the video is the only one that Gabriel now considers to be official, although the original can still be found online, sourced from TV broadcasts in the 80s and 90s.
