Only a duo like the Mael bros could possibly pull off a "rock" show without using such cliched instruments such as standard guitars and bass and still be compelling live and in the studio. No need to apologize eileenh28 I love it and ANY quality Sparks performances.
Je ne connaissais pas ce morceau; la mélodie est super ! Si on pouvait retrouver la version live du morceau "do-re-mi/angst in my pants" de ce concert "Sparks live 2000", ce serait super !
Seductive, like a night in a Persian fairytail... Added; In the comments below Alex Mael's upload of this song (original from the album) I have written about the story "One Thousand and One Nights" and Scheherezade. If anyone don't know the background to this song it maybe can be interesting. 💕🌌💖💖 💖
Your comment: The story "One Thousand and One Nights" / "The Arabic nights" are actually many, many stories. An exact number seems impossible to find, though through centuries there have been both additions and removals. According to what I found out the earliest stories go all way back to the seventh century in Persia (Iran). The storytelling character Scheherazade occurred later, but before the ninth century when the stories were translated into Arabic. The stories originate from the areas around The Silk Road from Turkey to China, such as Persia, Iraq, Arabia, Old Greek, India and so far away as China. As stories usually been, they have been altered and adapted to times and areas where they have been told. There is an original script from 1300th century, but the sources I used couldn't tell any more about that. "One Thousand and One Nights" was brought to Europe by a French man, Antoine Galland, in early 1800th century. He had added some stories he claimed to have heard from a man from Aleppo, Syria. The original stories were filled with sex orgies and violence, which has been changed, or more like censored I think. Scheherazade was a princess who was bound to marry and spend the night with a king, Shahriar of Persia. He had been deceived by his (previous, we can guess🗡️) wife and took out his fury on all women. He had one woman every night and killed her in the morning. When Scheherazade was next she skillfully told him a really exciting and entertaining story. Sly as she was, she never let the story to end in the morning, and of course the king wanted to hear the end. (Cliffhanger 😁) After 1001 nights he was so impressed with her that he let her live as his wife.

Tammy Glover is an awesome drummer, the best one they ever had as far as I'm concerned. (It doesn't hurt that she's cute, too.) Last I heard, she took a "sabbatical" from Sparks after a worldwide tour. Does anyone know if she's back with the boys?
I remember sparks fans slagging balls off on release ive always said sparks albums are growers...ya get into em after more listens!...brilliant tracks on balls...bullet train ans aeroflot are wonderful 👏

Just came across this video.
Last I heard, she's in a band called Thorcraft Cobra,but also VP of production at the tv station TBS
Better than dinky diamond and steve nistor 🤔mmm...
She is credited as drumming and singing on "The Seduction of Ingmar Bergman."
Ron Mael = JS Bach
The guy playing piano looks like a fierce murderer. but i liked his coolness.
I just realized after like 9 views what the joke in the description meant......I feel stupid

Where can I buy this song?
It's from the album 'Balls' (2000). Great album!!! 😁 💖 💖 💖 💖 💖

Why does the instrumental sound like it would better support a thick-voiced trap hop singer?
Why?
Because they rip off ace riffs like the ones Ron writes
Materpiece, I'm shure.
