Sometimes i dont listen to Sparks for months on end, and then just out of the blue i'll come across them and get totally blown away all over again, each and every time!!

I agree. I saw them yesterday in Berlin and I just don´t get it...They are brilliant and an hour before the concert there was just 13 people... In the end about 100. From my country (Czech Republic at least 7), some Russians, some English, some people from Denmark...Young and older...but only 100. I felt embarassed, they deserve more than this!!!!

These guys made me see why some people go crazy over certain bands and music, I thought it was all fake and idiotic. Sparks have given me that passion and now it makes sense (to me anyway) I totally love their work and will do for as long as its around.. Awesome :)

The band with the Brothers Mael, Ron and Russell. Russell has the high-pitch voice. Ron has the peculiar dance on stage, for which he starts a countdown using his fingers. A band with incredible depths of originality, humour, and talent.

LYRICS by Ron Mael/Sparks ✨ Good morning Who are you? I woke up and saw you I'm dreaming, still dreaming My life is now about to have some meaning Good morning I'm thinking I must have Been drinking And said something clever It must have been the best line from me ever Thank you, God, for something rare as this What surely must have been a holy night of bliss Gratitude for having thought of me I know your time is tight, and yet you thought of me Good morning You woke up Got dressed up Hair messed up While I fix you breakfast I hope it's just your laugh that is infectious Good morning In sorrow I know that Tomorrow You'll be with some winner Who's richer, younger, maybe even thinner Rubles in the bank and petrol in the tank of some Mercedes Benz Who spends and spends and spends on booked up restaurants A thousand phony fronts But will he ever wish you a good morning? Thank you, God, for something rare as this What surely must have been a holy night of bliss Gratitude for having thought of me I know your time is tight, and yet you thought of me And did I stumble, have a fall? Hit my head against a wall? At some point did we trade vows? Are you just some high-priced service from uptown? Good morning Buon giorno Ohayo Buenas dias Hey, where are you going? Hey, where are you going? Does dasvedonya really mean "Good morning"? Hey, where are you going? Hey, where are you going? Hey, where are you going? Hey, where are you going? Hey, where are you going? Hey, where are you going? Does dasvedonya really mean "Good morning"? Please spare me derision I'll do my rendition A lengthy recital Of every song with "foolish" in the title Good morning Good morning Good morning I need you I need you Who are you? 💖💖💖💖💖

Beautifully eccentric and some kind of new compositional plateau for Ron. I think they played this in Toronto last November at Lee's, as the duo Mael. I think Russell was wearing a Brownie outfit (junior Girl Guides): the requisite sartorial lunacy. Anyway, Sparks delivered the cookies.

I saw them in The Hague (The Netherlands) on September 14Th, so last month. Russell is now 69, and Ron 72. Still dynamic, it was a pleasure to have had the opportunity to see and hear them live. They are, like we say, still going strong! (And also played this song)

No resemblance what so ever!!! BUT there's a link. Nomi's "musical director" was Kristian Hoffman, with whom Russell have (written and?) recorded a song, 'Devil May Care' (2002) Hoffman has worked with Ann Magnuson since the 70s, Magnusson appeared in 'The Seduction of Ingmar Bergman' at the 2011 Los Angeles Film Festival. Anyway, NO likeness at all!! 😂
