World never was ready for most Sparks masterpieces, not those of the other great 80s people out there (virtually all of them NOT who the media and fans or critics EVER go on about.
The mere mention of “Adderall” in the beginning is all the more confirmation for how Sparks have remained one of my top two favorite bands for over 35 years
Well, I'm a Sparks fan, but the Adderall part is a contribution from the FF side of this union. In an interview Ron admited his knowledge of drugs were too old school.
The video successfully parodies the challenges of modern technological ... the keyboards, vocal combination and video are innovative and understated ... the complete opposite of 'mainstream music' ... an amusingly retro feel to a very 'now' song
I'm so glad someone gets it! Sometimes I believe about 50% of people watching - listening to FFS or Sparks are either completely humorless or a bit stupid. But you obviously belong to the humorous 50%! (Just read the comments on the official "Piss off" video 🤣😭🤣😭🤣)
+Jill T. Not really, it's actually very clever. Lets start with the breaking up of the video, as in loss of connection as in wi-fi or internet. That occurs in the later half of the video, because the 'girl' is not calling, so it is using a break-up of signal in relation to break-up of relation-ship. Yes, they do go cross-eyed during the spinning-thing, but that's actually funny, and show how much gymnasts and ballet dancers pull that ability off. I really do like the way the two lead singers pull it off. I loved the macarena pulld off the elderly men in suits look, but let's face it, the video is a fantastic balance of age and sexiness. Heck, to me Joan Collins and Sohie Loren look fantasic, and I was born decades after they were. I like the video, and I really like it. The message is clear and is very well put together. Just my opinion.
Sparks : one of the most underrated group of rock history ... Please have a look / cast an ear on their collaboration with Rita Mitsouko : "singing in the shower" ... It will give you chills ....
Or listen to their heartbreaking version of Beck's 'Why did you make me care'... When talking about collaborations. Some other suggestions: Dick around Rock rock rock Tits (hilarious!) Strange animal What the hell is it this time? Pulling rabbits out of a hat (Personally I prefer the one from Plagiarism) Don't leave me alone with her Frankly, Scarlett, I don't give a damn I bought the Mississippi River (lyrics 🤣) Tearing the place apart (lyrics! 😁) More than a sexmachine (Perhaps a touch of irony 😉) At home at work at play And last but not least, their alternative ending of 'Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet', 'HERE IN HEAVEN', hilarious, sad and... Who else but Ron Mael? 🤣 (Don't never ever forget to listen to the LYRICS when listening to Sparks! Expect humor, irony and the unexpected!)
@@girlfromgermany, Haha! Yes, I did! Must be the best song ever teasing all "I love you, if you don't love me I'll die" cliché lyrics 😂 (I always come to think of ABBA's 'I do, I do, I do, I do' 🤔😂) Sparks has done loads of songs about love. Happy love, yearning for love, breaking up, get together again, the whole register. Without been smeary, sticky or sleazy. Usually in a pragmatic way, where pain and despair are there, in a much more subtle way, it isn't smothering the whole story. Or in metaphors (chicks dig metaphors, you know 😂) or pure sex. And it never makes me sick and nausea. 👍😊😀
This is such a brilliant brilliant song. Is it about the fact that modern girls should take a more active role in relationships or is it about a guy surprised that his callgirl doesn't call him 😂? We aren't really sure and that's why it's genius. Can listen to it again and again.
"I gave up blow and adderall for you, so I'd have dough and spend it all on you." I mean, if that's not true romance, what is!?!?!!?!? Oh man, I love it when pop doesn't take itself 100% seriously all the time.

BABIES IF I HAD YOUR NUMBERS, BELIEVE ME, I WOULD HAVE CALLED 💙

I gave up blow and adderall for you So I'd have dough and spend it all on you So call, girl Come on and give me a ring Call, girl Pick up and ring Come on and pick up and Why don't you call, girl? Why don't you call, girl? Why don't you call, girl? Why don't you call, girl?

So call, girl Come on and give me a ring Call, girl Pick up and ring Come on and pick up and Why don't you call, girl? Why don't you call, girl? Why don't you call, girl? Why don't you call, girl?
No sé cómo hice para vivir 30 años de mi vida sin enterarme que existían los Sparks, y cinco años de mi vida sin saber que los Franz habían formado esta suuuuper banda.
Can't praise this enough, the song nor the vid. Effing awesome, and I've never known FF to come across so bloody well. AF actually comes across as stylish and cool in this video! In fact, while I despise and deplore most everything music became since 1990 onwards and this collaboration filled me with disagreeable angst, there's far worse get-togethers from people like Stevie Nicks who should know better than hanging out with garbage and she not the only one either, but God, Sparks actually make this band useful and wanted, if only for this album. Oh and kudos to FF for having the decency to recall little-appreciated Aussie band The Go-Betweens and covering not even their most obvious song, but 'Is There Anything I Could Do' instead!
@@FumbleAIBO Oh, I make sure I try and discover every decent act there is-and most come from the 80s let's face it. They, like most things back then, had their own definitive sound and made worthy records, and they're just another deeply unappreciated act by many that I love for that reason-mainly as all the things I do love are just unfortunate that way. Very few cool acts get the standing and love and sales they deserve, as too many who don't do! But I am happy to know and remember them, and to still keep doing so. I don't forget anyone who shouldn't be, but wish I could on many who should be!

FFS ? I'm launching a petition so that they record their second album
The frontman swag that Alex & Russel exude is too too much for anyone to handle.
Man did I jump into the SPARKS rabbit hole after watching their documentary, god their music is so good! And this colab is absolutely amazing!
Same here. They are so good!
same, really great doc, really great band.
Same! And I just saw Sparks live for the first time! Highly recommend ⚡️
Me too, how have I missed these guys
Same 🤩
5 years since the release and it still sounds futuristic.
9 years already.
The world is not ready for this master peace.

World never was ready for most Sparks masterpieces, not those of the other great 80s people out there (virtually all of them NOT who the media and fans or critics EVER go on about.
in 2023, i can totally agree that the world wasn't ready for this masterpiece
Can't believe FF & S mesh so well together, what an amazing meeting of minds. Totally original and way-out! The sound of 2037.
The Sparks and Franz Ferdinand both make brilliant music videos, it's no wonder when they are put together the videos are masterpieces alone.
The most underrated song ever... One of my favorites now.. love u
this collab would be something movies are made of.
Holy shit I forgot I maniacally listened to this album when it came out but now I remember
this is 6 years old this year, and it still sounds so futuristic
Something Panz Ferdibland would be beyond if it wasn't for meeting The Maels.
good gravy it sounds exactly like you would imagine a perfect mesh of a ff and sparks song could be.
The mere mention of “Adderall” in the beginning is all the more confirmation for how Sparks have remained one of my top two favorite bands for over 35 years
Well, I'm a Sparks fan, but the Adderall part is a contribution from the FF side of this union.
In an interview Ron admited his knowledge of drugs were too old school.
I can't really mention any other musician from the '1970s who were able to do such a creative comeback when they are in their seventies.
This sounds like someone in the 80’s time traveled to 2050 and made a song. Amazing lol.
So awesome! My favorite part is the Ron smile at 1:14.
The video successfully parodies the challenges of modern technological ... the keyboards, vocal combination and video are innovative and understated ... the complete opposite of 'mainstream music' ... an amusingly retro feel to a very 'now' song

Such a fantastic (superfantastiche) supergroup. Hope they do a 2nd album.
why are they this way. i love them so much
i love everything about this. they're all adorable!
I digged this song.
I still dig this song.
I will forever dig this song.
Love the Gilbert & George influenced visuals.
i went a concert this summer ! loved it bc this songs are amazing
Pure brilliance
My fave album of the year, hands down.
Love the wardrobes on the boys. Lookin' fantastic.
2:40 is like a digital Francis Bacon painting.
Jesus this song so lit 🔥
This song is so perfect in anyway: Russell looks so fresh and new, the video is magnificent! And the music is brilliant 👏 👌 👍
Who'd have thought a group of today which deal out the likes of the dumb: "Do do do you wanna" could be so useful?
i can't stop watching

Strange as that dancing was, it fits them so well and it fit the video so well everything is so well with this

Hii
this video is so awesome
me recuerda a Beck con Youthless, en especial por el uso de efecto bug en el vídeo.
Great Video
Great FFS!
Sparks + Franz Ferdinand = ¡la cumbia!
I feel so identified with Nick at 1:54
Finally!
Russell looks good in a suit! And the red checkered one.
I'm waiting by the loading dock for you
A TV and guitar in hock for you
Come on, girl
Come on and give me a ring
Come on, girl
Pick up and ring
Come on and pick up and
Why don't you call, girl?
Why don't you call, girl?
Why don't you call, girl?
Why don't you call, girl?
I gave up blow and adderall for you
So I'd have dough and spend it all on you
So call, girl
Come on and give me a ring
Call, girl
Pick up and ring
Come on and pick up and
Why don't you call, girl?
Why don't you call, girl?
Why don't you call, girl?
Why don't you call, girl?
I realize it's me who makes advances
All advances
And I realize arrangements come from me
It's me, it's me, it's me who always wants to meet
So come on, girl
Come on and pick up and ring
Come on, girl
Pick up and ring
Come on and pick up and
When I call on you, everything is good again
And everything and everything
I don't need to say anything, it's understood
Again, anything and everything
I don't ask, I don't need an answer
I hear no lies in dead romance
Her eyes arrive
I leave
I leave
And then again it's...
Why don't you call, girl?
Why don't you call, girl?
Why don't you call, girl?
Why don't you call, girl?
So call, girl
Come on and give me a ring
Call, girl
Pick up and ring
Come on and pick up and
Why don't you call, girl?
Why don't you call, girl?
Why don't you call, girl?
Why don't you call, girl?
Reminds me of the unreleased tracks at the end of Talking Heads' Sand in the Vaseline.
Una obra de arte en su máxima expresión !!!
this video is so fantastic.
muy buena cancion!!!
Ron Mael, totes adorbs.
I was wondering when we'd finally see this one! I really love this, but I'm pretty sure I'll love anything you guys come up with.
This is such a frustrating video to watch when you're having actual buffering issues
I thought it'd be a more authentic experience? Like listening to it on vinyl?
este alex kapranos é mesmo um pedaço de mau caminho
FFS this video is awesome!!!
Alex y su incomparable style💗💜💗💜
Gotta buy this album right now!!
this is such a great music video

Lo escucho en Chile 2019
Como me encanta este video... UuU
Una de las mejores canciones de FFS diria yo 😃
Mi canción favorita de FFS :)
This video confused me so much! You were absolutely fantastic in Glasgow a couple months ago, looking forward to when you're next back home FF!
Franz Ferdinand, I had no idea you made a super band and continued making music, you should probably post something about this one your main channel!
Esto es tan bueno , ojalá fuera tan famosos como los regetoneros que ni música es a comparación de esta belleza
I was about to throw my phone because I thought the screen was all pixelated and frozen XDD
Awesome video ❤
Muito bom . Brasil. Very good. Brazil.

LOVED. IT.

Heard this at a store once, thought it was lit 👌
This mix sounds AMAZING through my headphones! I could imagine dancing to a remix of this song in a club.
Love this song! I'm even adicted to it :p
Still listening to and still loving it! ❤
Great!
Awesome!!👌I love it💕
