D.I.Y. (song)

"D.I.Y." is a song written and recorded by English musician Peter Gabriel. It was included on his 1978 self-titled solo album and was released as a single in May with "Perspective" as a B-side, although it failed to chart.

A re-recorded version of "D.I.Y." was issued by Charisma Records in September 1978 with both "Mother of Violence" and "Me And My Teddy Bear" as the B-side; this single fared no better than the original. The re-recording of "D.I.Y.", which featured horns and an additional chorus, was later included on the 2019 compilation album Flotsam and Jetsam. The D.I.Y. acronym stands for do it yourself, which at the time echoed the prevailing attitude of self-sufficiency in the UK. Peter Christopherson created the single artwork.
