I love how this "love song" mentions that it has a hole in it, and they play it."Its the break in the song when i should say something special, but the pressure is on and I cant make up something special..." Classic Sparks. Weird Al Yankovic, They Might Be Giants and Sparks are the best lyricists when it comes to smart lyricism in a light hearted setting... and sometimes a dark setting. Proof that artists can swim successfully in good music with substance and not be too full of themselves.
THNX!!! i feel 14 AGAIN...& "i never feel like GARBAGE when i'm with YOU!!! one of my FIRST "New-Wave" records.( & i STILL have the ALBUM;not 12" ) VIVA LA MUZIKA !!!
A general question for Sparks fans...was there another version of this music video? I have a memory of a red background and another girl? I can't recall for certain what music show had it on, though a calculated guess tell's me it might have been, 'Sounds Unlimited', which was on the 9network in Australia in the 70s & 80s. Any help would be welcome!
J'entendais beaucoup cette magnifique chanson des Sparks à la radio quand j'étais jeune. C'est toujour un plaisir de l'écouter des années après ! It's a timeless song.
Love this song. Getting into The Sparks in the mid-90's, and the hearing this and going yeah, I remember this being a minor hit when we were ten, in 1979! Masterpiece!
This was the first Sparks song I ever heard (except it was the remix-y version). Only listened to it because my 'name' is MightySparks XD, but they are now my third fave band <3
totally agree with goatboyful. i have been looking for this for ages. best song ever and still play sparks and iam 47. thanks for the upload. 1000000 stars. xx
I saw Sparks in California in the early 80's at Magic Mountain theme Park. They used to play some cool 80's bands, Missing Persons, Bow Wow Wow. I saw these guys at least 5 times. Great live! So much fun! Anyone remember?
great track, brillo band....omg, i remember when this one was released...... geeze... cant believe it was so many years ago...good then and better now! thanks for posting, cheers mate! xx
Huge fan since the late 70's yet this is my first time seeing the video! Excellent.
