Wow! After 43yrs, the vocal sounds 99% of the original. What ageing singer can still achieve that? Incredible.
How many other singers can sing a song like this in the same key so perfectly 40+ years down the line?
Well, he had to stand up to reach that final high note...
And not a grey hair either.
should be 32 million likes...Ron's face still hasn't defrosted...
Yeah, but Ron has changed his moustache - used to be a Charlie Chaplin, now it's a lot thinner.
Ron reminds me a lot of my high school band teacher, now sadly departed. You were always our favorite teacher, John...
Welllll.... Once in a while....😉😂

😂🤣
They're magnificent.
@@rw8733 Documentary “The Sparks Brothers “ released today 😎
Russell's voice is still perfect and pristine. And Ron ... is still my spirit animal.
The coolest guys in the Universe.
This is a really cool version of this song. Russell's voice is still incredible.
i know im randomly asking but does someone know a trick to get back into an instagram account??
I was stupid forgot my password. I would love any assistance you can offer me.

Wow, I am completely blown away. I almost didn’t click on it thinking it was gonna be another. One of these deals were aging singers were struggling to hit notes and missing pitches and no energy in the rest of it and it was fucking unbelievable. In some ways I like it better than the original -great job guys!
ron's expressionless lifestyle has benifited him in that he looks great for his age
This single was originally released when I was around 11 years old. I remember some of my school friends dismissing the song and the band with comments along the lines of "they're not really singing or playing, it's just and endless loop'. Now I'm not quite sure if any of them thought they knew what an 'endless loop' was, but40 odd years later, you listen to this stripped down, acoustic version and realise that even the smallest mistake is going to leap out at you. This is simply outstanding, one of the best pop songs ever released.
Seriously, how do they do that live? The vocals are stunning, I am floored.
Ive listened to this song for almost 50 years and like this version the best. A cool part is that it looks like Russell is really enjoying singing the song even though he has probably sang it 10,000 times. Just a magic song.
Un-be-frigging-lievable performance! What sheer class these guys are.
Brilliant !!!!!!!!!!
invincible vocals and songwriting
Russell dreaming and clapping away as the final verse and chorus came round and missed it altogether 😂 but like the absolute pros they are, they pulled it back and knew they got away with it (hence the guitarist grinning away just before the end)
It’s time. Re-release it every election in every country 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Great ,great ,just great !
Still really beautiful and impressive.
i like this version because you still perform it perfectly after all these decades, and because it gives us a chance to really hear this beautiful piano accompaniment in detail.
Thank you Sparks, for your music and your characters and everything you brought to us over the years. Bless you.
This is such an awesome arrangement. Almost a classical aria. Russell's voice is still intact,. Nice hearing it stripped down. Bravo.
CLASSIC. can't believe they sound so good after all this time. Great voice
Tolles Lied, super gesungen, hervorragender Gitarrenspieler ❤
Just amazing. Just got to love Ron and Russell.
I wonder how many times theyve performed this classic, I bought in 1975 and I still love it
The best pop song of all time. Good to see the guys playing it again with a great version
Absolutely frigging awesome
Cette chanson est extraordinaire ,cette version est un cadeau,merci
- Great playing!
If the dude is singing live, it is simply astonishing!
Oh yeah, the singer (Russell Mael) is live here, and he's retained a remarkable degree of his ability over 44 years. Just incredible!
henrik h, Yes, especially since he was 68 years old (born 1948, october) at that time.
If you want to listen to his voice when he was young I recommend Equator (Kimono my house) and Pineapple (Indiscreet). Acrobatics for vocal cords!
The best band really. Hundreds of great songs ❤
this guy's voice is still so great omg
Had this tune in my head for 2 weeks now. amazing voice at his age.
Fantastic
The Guitarrist did great work too. And they should have given Russell a drum ;-)
It’s a guy called Evan Weiss who played in an excellent LA based band called Wires on Fire.
Mind blowing music. How can I have met this band after 30 years listening to everything? Fresh, fun, special… wow!
Voix de Russell Intacte malgré ses 72 ans. Incroyable !
C'est Ron qui avait 72, Russel 69 ans! Mais la performance des deux est incroyable!
Love the way the organ is called Ronald!
dartilov hey that’s amazing !.. an organ that sounds like a piano....crazy !
Let's be friends and say "keyboard" 😉.
Ron (Ronald) Mael's little pun, since "forever" 😁😁
Maybe that’s a Roland brand keyboard, and Ron just swapped the letters around?
Amazing.
Pure Magic!
Bought their first albums as a teenager at secondary school.
Everyone at school loved their music.
Nice one guys and Thankyou so much.
Don’t Stop, Keep Rokin’.
Russell Mael is the hottest guy all over the world!! Not only because he looks incredibly hot, also because of his unique and very special voice. There's no other voice like this! The best voice I've ever heard!!!! 💖💋
Well that got my heartbeat to increase!
Amazing that it can still sound so good with just the two instruments, and of course that unique voice.
Excellent version.
Still incredibly great, everything, the voice, looks...every Sparks song leaves a smile on my face. They are both precious, the best!!
Sheer genius...❤
Beautiful
Unbelievable! They play as amazing live as they do on discs! A totally underrated band!
Outstanding.....
they still got it...sounds wonderful...!
Legends.
Wowww..this should be lessonmaterial for these casting-singers today. Genious !!
Sparks for ever.
J'ai entendu la première fois cette chanson, j'avais 11 ans. Un choc et une chanson hors de mon temps personnel
Still sounds lovely.the voice is amazing really hits the high notes perfect
What a song!
Sounds like an Anti Lovesong from the middle Age...!!!Love it!❤
This was great....
Just as good as it was in the 70s
Brilliant
How can a voice remain so brilliant after all those years. I am truly flabbergasted.
Wow! The vocal range is still there!!
Did I see Ron smile very very briefly, right at the end?! 🤣
Still amazing 🤩
Well that was just bloody brilliant.
Wow...this is real rock and roll..... You can't get better
great version, excellent guitarist.
Awesome version
I could not love this more 😍😍😍
Absolutely stunning!!!
GREAT!!!
Brilliant. Thanks for posting.
Love the socks boys.
One of the gems of rock. Thank you!
Kimono My House was the first LP that I bought, 1975!!!
Love this acoustic version works so well
Beautiful! I remember when this was in the charts in the 70's Much love!
Love this version! Adore Ron and Russell ❤❤
Just awesome. I got into them when this first came out. And they still churn out new and original music every few years. All the sweary hippity hoppity people sell millions more records, but none of them can match this talent.
Still a great song
Absolutely brilliant. Saw Sparks in Brussels recently. Best gig I've been at for years. Ron and Russel and the backing band were amazing.
First record I ever bought. Timeless classic !!!
Rock on 🤘🏼 Ron n Russ 👍🏻😎
Russ & Ron can still deliver , hope to see them in concert next year x
Still spectacular !
Perfection.
Your Band is Amazing 🍀😋🙏👍🎧
Just WOW.❤️
THIS IS FRIGGIN AMAZING !!!
Class !
Absolute brilliance! Love it!
WoW!!! That was beautifuL !
Love this acoustic version ; just use it as my cell ringtone ☺☺
Other than the fact that it's a bit sad that they still have to play the songs from their two 1974 albums to be relevant, I was pleasantly surprised and downright impressed. Russell Mael still sounds pretty much the way he did back then.
For the record, I do like Sparks a lot, although after Big Beat (and certainly after No. 1 in Heaven), I hardly even knew they were still performing.
Not sad, they are great songs, all relevant and everyone wants to hear them. They do songs from all their albums- catch up with some, you will be surprised. They play to full houses and are very popular.
Why is that sad? They've written some amazing songs. I don't understand your logic at all I'm afraid.
Excellent
It's amazing!
April 2022 and this song is introduced to a new Generation. Check out the new Apple ad campaign.
Just fantastic
simply amazing
Still superb
This is out of this world
That last note! :)
These two guys seem to have defied time.
