Sparks - Something For The Girl With Everything (in the studio + live)

[HollowVoices]

Everything about them is...mesmerizing. I feel like I could watch them for the rest of my life.

[wickesm]

The best song off Propoganda. Years, loads of years before their time....

[UserSi5]

These guys are like a Family Guy episode.

I never knew Marc Bolan was lead singer of Sparks?

[steeler77NO]

@revol148 They sure look like each other

My first encounter with Sparks was songs like ''Let's go surfing'', ''Senseless violins'' and ''now that I own the BBC''. In my head I used to describe Sparks as ''panic inducing'' band :) Not in a bad way! But I mean, just listen to this one! :)

To me, their songs often have this feeling of hurry and danger. Sure, with humour, but it's still panic. Especially their 70s period and their 21st century period :)

It's only my impressions tho :)

I love them.

Great song, one of my favourites. Such a "clever" song...

[MegaBergkamp10]

pure genius...........

[kjallesoft]

Enjoy this ever-so-fresh brilliant weardness in composing and singing!!!

And appearance.

[IAmPlaysWithSquirrel]

Part of this song sounds like the "Scaramouche, Scaramouche!" part in Bohemian Rhapsody.

I only discovered these guys thanks to Siouxsie & The Banshees covering "This Town Ain't Big Enough For The Both of Us", and I have to say, I am getting into them.

A bit surprised that the YouTube recommendation system has never once suggested these guys, because I do listen to quite a lot of glam rock!

Is that Muff Winwood in the studio?

[PamK36]

@oliveronions68 Yes.

[Themanwhocameback2]

@oliveronions68 Yes. He produced the album.

[sophisticatedmay]

[blackmore4]

You have to be as bony and beautiful as Russell Mael to get away with a sweater like that.

[Jaynecullen]

Thanks for this!

*This* was the killer Sparks lineup - Iove em in any form (except for the seemingly endless dance period)- but they never sounded as good as here.

I think the real diff was Dinky Diamond and his inventive drumming. Like Keith Moon, he was irreplaceable.

' Killer Sparks lineup' ... what a great way to  describe that period of the Mael's releases. And what's odder than Russ' winter garb then Ron's hysterical expressions.
