I hear so little music that interests me these days. Then I heard this. I cannot get enough of these guys. I feel silly for not discovering them sooner.
After hearing this and paying attention to Sparks (having been a huge fan of their 80s hits) - I am now a believer in the whole catalog, and this is a genius classic - can only wish to see them in concert somewhere near Shreveport, LA
... Wow! This at least sounds exciting in these, let me say, boring times of latest "popmusic" where people often don't even know anymore where "their music" came from. But really: this is great! Thank you for this video.
intellectually sexy.. provcative.. subversive.. smart.. the best amazing pop independent weird abstract amazing music created by two 50 something californian brothers. Three cheers for amazing unique music!!!!!!!!!
I love This Song After Hearing It On Dolce And Gabbana Advert. I Love D&G And I Love This Song, It' Seriously Cool. D&G Adverts I Think Are Weird But They Make You Remember Them Which Is A Way Of Advertising.
Sparks is truly one of the most innovative bands of this (and last) century. Bravo! When's the compilation DVD coming out?! I'd like to see a video for Suburban Homeboy, please.
i think they were a big hit, but just a style of music that not everybody admitted to liking, since they were signed to atlanic records, warner brothers records, and even roadrunner records for some of their albums, they're respected throughout the music community, regardless of what genre people claim to like, most people know of and love this band
I'd say Sparks are similar in the sense that their weirdest stuff is akin to The Residents' least weird stuff. Not that their is any copying going on, but just that there's an affinity towards similar sensibilities. I love both bands.
If you like this, try 'When Do I Get To Sing My Way' (talk about biting the hand that feeds you) and 'The Rhythm Thief' (scary AND biting the hand again!)
The Residents are a mysterious experimental band who have refused to show their faces throughout the years thus they hide behind eye-ball masks, they wear tuxedos too. the music is close to anything to do with Spark's stuff, but the visuals.. i'd say they're very similar to this video!
@gibokubrick the whole part really, the lyrics and all is so familiar... Like from some movie but i cant place it. the art style is so Courage the Cowardly Dog though. haha,
I think hes talking about she doesnt have to wear perfume to fall in love you love your girlfriend/boyfriend for who they are regardless if they wear perfume, aftershave or not

Fantastic so underrated American band. Active since the late 60s, the Mael brothers are still active doing great stuff. New album this year.
I love this song, I first heard it on BBC 6 radio four years ago, and I had completely forgotten about it!
Sheer genius as always- kitch, quirky & always swimming against the tide-Excellent
Sparks are one of the greatest bands ever , never get tired of listening to their songs
Gotta hand it to Gilmore Girls, the best show to find great obscure old songs.

Adore this song. And the boys play a great live gig. Fab!

This is such a wicked sound. Long Live Sparks.
how awesome and so fun. yet great music Go Sparks Go
this song is poetry in motion it leaves other bands at the starting line
the smells and the colours are the POWER of the FUTURE
I love this song so much! I love his voice!

Yes a very cool song i like it. Dam infectious.
Sadly just discovered Sparks this year. This is brilliant and so unlike anything being done in pop music today, it's scary!
All their music is excellent, not just the new stuff

great,they always deliver
this so reminds me of The Residents :) amazing band, saw them live yesterday.. awesome!!! 100%%
I LOVE the music in the advert, and I love this one just as much. xD
I highly underrated band, Awesome Song

Sparks=Geniuses!

I love This Song After Hearing It On Dolce And Gabbana Advert. I Love D&G And I Love This Song, It' Seriously Cool.
D&G Adverts I Think Are Weird But They Make You Remember Them Which Is A Way Of Advertising.
the guitar playing is class rhythm
i came hear after finding their Rocking song Forever Young in my music collection
I hope one day that The Eels will cover this!
Genius!
Now you have a new fan!
great music

I like the introduction they do to this song when they do a bit spot on an episode of Gilmore Girls.
what music videos were MEANT to be!
Love.this
a really good song
love it
Screw the past! :-D
I first heard this song on Gilmore Girls--the troubadour episode--and I had no idea this was a real song!
B R I L L A N T ! !
New album out in 2017
I really like the version the guys trying out to be the new town troubadours play on Gilmore Girls. I love this song, though. Woohoo!
Exactly!
Agreed. I enjoy both Jay-Z and the Sparks.

So cooooool
I like this track. Interesting use of the all seeing eye in this video, though.
The CLOR remix is amazing!
so weird but intriguing
thank budda for Sparks!
@terror0earth I guess you're talking about the part from the piano! Me too, where does it come from?
If you like this, try 'When Do I Get To Sing My Way' (talk about biting the hand that feeds you) and 'The Rhythm Thief' (scary AND biting the hand again!)
The perfect blend of Roxy Music, Kraftwerk and Pet Shop Boys
yes...except that Sparks were first...
Its weird to hear this as a full song cos im so used to the snipet on katiep who smells :)

@SARA12280 What are your 3 all-time favorite Sparks songs? (Too hard to pick just one, ya?) :)
Mark
They used to be called "Half Nelson." Amazing brothers.....
@nedthetoothpik
It's SPARKS!!! It's not PERFUME :)
'Perfume' is the name of the track
and I love "Sparks" :)
Is there any other kind of Sparks fan?
And to the Nihon-jin - sumimsasen, demo kore wa パフューム ja arimasen.. Sparks ga desu - Nihon de yumei!
i remember hearing this song on an old real world promo
great stuff
good stuff
anyone know whose face they used for the damsel in distress lady?
That comment is pure WIN!
the advertisement in the top right corner was one for perfume when i was watching this.
yes i loved this song long before the stupid ad
can anyone find the instrumental of this for me?, thanks.
Thats why I wanna spend my life with you. :)
@gibokubrick the whole part really, the lyrics and all is so familiar... Like from some movie but i cant place it.

Awesome Song Thanks SparksUSA!
I'm throwing out my perfume!
Gilmore girls season 6 episode 22
Alati omapäraselt hea asi. 😏🍰🐝
heres to the gilmore girls
same here =(
The Real World Denver brought me here
Cool video. Love the beat. Anyone who calls this garbage must Kowtow to a picture of Jay-Z or Britney Spears every morning.
Don't just listen to this on TH-cam..get it on the hi-fi and play LOUD......then try not tapping you extremities to it....
@stadtaffe2 Pshh you can like Jay-Z and Sparks at the same time. Don't need to knock other artists to say that this is a great song and video :)
I think hes talking about she doesnt have to wear perfume to fall in love you love your girlfriend/boyfriend for who they are regardless if they wear perfume, aftershave or not
I doubt it...think of the free advertising. Yes...great song.
Katie Pukrick!
@ronackostolomac Sparks has ALWAYS been the brainchild of Ron & Russell Mael.
0:43 look its mr. bean!
the lady who smells brought me here lol
Katie Puckrickkkk...
Shubha Juyal And I smell
