""The song is rarely asked out for a dance, and I have always loved table tennis," he wrote. "Now there seems to be a real buzz about the film. Although I have it in my Academy pack we are waiting to see it on the big screen in the Christmas holiday. On tour we always have a table backstage for any of the crew or band to jump on.""
""Gabriel also inadvertently broke the news that two other synth-heavy songs from the 1980s will be setting the scene in Marty Supreme: the Korgis' "Everybody's Got to Learn Sometime" and Tears for Fears' "Everybody Wants to Rule the World." Add "I Have the Touch" to the mix and the trifecta share a strange connection in geography. "The other curious fact," Gabriel added, "is that three of the songs chosen for the soundtrack were written and recorded around the city of Bath.""
Peter Gabriel's 1982 song "I Have the Touch" appears as a pivotal needle drop in the ping-pong film Marty Supreme, starring Timothée Chalamet and an entrepreneur from Shark Tank. Gabriel thanked director Josh Safdie for selecting the track and noted the song's rarity on public playlists; he mentioned his love of table tennis and that his tour keeps a table backstage. Two other 1980s synth-heavy songs — the Korgis' "Everybody's Got to Learn Sometime" and Tears for Fears' "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" — also appear on the soundtrack. All three tracks were written and recorded around the city of Bath.
