[nickcarver91]

Back to 90's, huh? I really miss those times.

[TheLisa272]

2 Idioten die keinen Geschmack haben  -.-'

[netwhistler]

[jmedia1]

The album was worth waiting for - since '89!

[OveremotioN]

In Criminal russia in 90's it was the famous song in All Criminal Russia!

[ethandune1]

make of it what you will ... even in Pittsburgh!

[ethandune1]

Very topical with the Murdoch fiasco! Should we got 'whiter'? Clever.

[ethandune1]

Very topical with the Murdoch fiasco!

[Hollandia777]

In the mid of the 70's Russel sung he bought the Mississippi River (of course that don't include the towns or the ppl 'round the Mississippi'!) :D Well, it seems BBC is in his hands as well... Wot a rich guy! :DD

[vertxxgg]

[06hatter]

I wasn't drinkin what could I have been thinkin

[cosytoesUK]

Great song, though rumour has it, that this upset some of the powers to be at the BBC which was the real reason behind banning Sparks later release 'Dick Around'.

[EuphoricDan]

First step:

Replace Matt Smith as The Doctor

Second step:

New season of "The IT Crowd".

[johncrwarner]

@EuphoricDan

Isn't the IT Crowd a Channel 4 production?

[EuphoricDan]

@johncrwarner

lol I live in Pittsburgh... I have no idea.

[johncrwarner]

@EuphoricDan

and they don't know how to use the Internet in Pittsburgh is that what you are telling me? LOL

[KevServo]

@EuphoricDan Third step: Bring back Blackadder

[TheMaceymacreary]

[pogsquatch]

Hey Ted Turner help me out !

[vertxxgg]

in this Ocean Liner all archives of BBC including the 78 records of Sir Harry Lauder to Bowie,Elton,T.Rex originals transported to SouthAfrica..a friendly German U-Boot is securing the operation----wunder video

[dwilmer7]

All Sparks songs are enticingly strange. They are so cool imo.

[GlasgowWall]

1 person had other plans for the BBC

[idontseeynot]

awwww yeahhhhh. vaginas

[lexey2002]

I love Sparks, I love this brilliant song! Thanks alot for upload!

[vertxxgg]

BBC is a paradise of 78 recordings of all the world and take em all in a Luxus Liner to South Africa ,a dream

[vertxxgg]

one of the greatest videos in pop history

[dacrlit]

I bought CD1 and CD2 of this song.

[Martiiin2008]

very nice music.. :)

[ChowCwow]

i was searching for this song for 3 years.

FINALLY

[LadyEdgar]

Ron acting like he's whistling the flute bit...priceless. Also, Russell is gorgeous in this vid. I'm not so sure about the wierdly synchronized dancing cut-outs, though,

[matparks30]

I wish Sparks had owned the BBC back in the 90s - would have been interesting ;-)

[maxwall7755]

Ron Mael is a genius. Sparks,the band you like but just don't know it.

[1starryeyedkid]

gorgeous video

[MrKittytoenails]

at first it seems as if ron is looking for russel and russel is trying to hide untill ron found him!

[rickaxxl]

gooooood

[SynthieAl]

One of my most favourite childhood tunes!

[spacyfreak]

On of the worst pop bands ever. But i LOVE them.

Muhahaha.

Live long and prosper!

[MrKittytoenails]

@spacyfreak my tribble,s your tribble

[fatpizzaman]

@spacyfreak what's so bad about them, apart from not being remembered by the general public other than "This Town", "Beat The Clock", and "Amateur Hour"?

[edmund184]

More and more each day, I really wish I owned the BBC.

[edmund184]

I love their lyrical brilliance, their total lack of pretentiousness, and their unceaseless energy.

This is exactly what popular music should be.

[humanplastics]

Russell looks so sexy here...oh myyyyyyyyyyy<3

[moresilage]

2:13... Not many songs can get away with a synthesised pan-pipe solo. But Sparks do!

[eileenh28]

I've got to say it - Damn, both of 'em look particularly delicious in this vid.

[dwilmer7]

Did pet shop boys gratuitously rip these guys off?? Id never even heard of sparks until 3 days ago.

[eileenh28]

Check out "I Hear Charlie Parker" that's a pretty outright parody of the Pet Shop Boys.

[ffm20zaheri]

please explain me why it is a pet shop boys parody ?

i mean the song sounds exactly like a pet shop boys song but why parody ?

thank you

[futarinoseaside]

@ffm20zaheri Have a look at PSB's 1994 videos (which are composed of repetitive dance movements in a similar computer-generated environment). Search for "I Woldn't Normally Do This Kind of Thing", "Go West", and to a lesser extent, "Can You Forgive Her?" and "Liberation". Watching this in 1995 would have directly brought those videos to mind.

[schusterlehrling]

@dwilmer7
