@@garrystubbs4891 Oh yeah, the one note solo is like threading a needle through the chord changes, not to mention how the guitar tone is close to indie territory.
“Duh” on me for not recognizing the lyrics as that until just now. “A foot or two above me” should have tipped me off that he means “parents”. Your work here is done - thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it. And a thought: are Sparks the ONLY band made up of brothers that hasn't had sibling rivalry big bust-ups? I'm thinking KInks, Oasis, Everlys, Dire Straits, Creedence Clearwater, Beach Boys, Bros ... Oh, I just got to Bee Gees which disproves my theory, but they just go on and on, which is great. A new album in 2020; Drip Drip Drip.
@@GazelyGazeAnti- from the parents' perspective, but not from the kid's: "My parents say the world is cruel...I think that they prefer it cruel" tells me the person singing the song (the kid) is of a different opinion.
Possibly my favourite Sparks tune.
Mine too.
Mine too
Me too
Same here
A great song that should have been No.1
"My parents say the world is cruel
I think that they prefer it cruel"
that lyric had a great influence on me as a teenager.
And I never knew about gay sex until I started hitch hiking...
That main chord progression is so Brian Wilson-ish, but so Ronald Mael-ish. It's just ish. Amazing song that still holds up almost 50 years later.
Not Brian Wilson....Katamari Damacy
Fantastic song from a fantastic band !!! 👍👍👍👍💙💙
The wonderful, lilting music combined with Ron's deranged expressions... I just Can. Not. Handle. It. AAAAAAAHHH!!!!
the greatest one note guitar solo in the history of one note guitar solos
Indeed, but of course its that great chord progression underneath it that gives it it's movement...
@@garrystubbs4891 of course

I’ve always loved this track but never thought I’d get the chance to see Sparks perform it! Fantastic!
This, "Achoo", "Bon Voyage", "Never Turn Your Back On Mother Earth" and "Don't Leave Me Alone With Her" are some of my favorites Sparsk songs
Propaganda is one those albums where there is hardly a dud on the playlist.
don’t leave me alone with her is so underrated it’s a repeater for sure
this brings back so many memories as a 15 year old just loved this track it really meant a lot the words made so much sense at that age brilliant
Love that parts of this tune wound up in Annette!
Gold
Stranger danger the 70's were awesome

This is "some" roll cage.
Thank you.
Another little gem 👏
Thanks
For this - there’s a reference to the melody in Annette and I was racking my brains trying to remember which song it was
I was happy to discover this song after I got the Annette Dvd, then I made the connection!
This was great footage love Sparks since a kid!

@@GazelyGaze their orders come from high above.
Ya lol
@@GazelyGaze the Bee Gees had a big split up in the 1970s but got back together in time to make more hits.
@@careyatchison1348 You're right, the Bee Gees brothers did split but generally remained close.
This song SLAPS
Thanks for the upload
Very nice
Wow. Never seen this ! It makes up for the footage of them on `45' seemingly being lost. They did this song on that show too.
I bought Propaganda on the strength of their performance on "45".
Scouse Sonata: Me too ! Age 11. Quite a big deal. The investment paid off though
Awesome, thank you for uploading this!!!!
The ad was good too
Prachtgroep toen !
Yes, a beautiful group!
One of the best child predator songs ever
Hmm, perhaps you mean 'anti-...'? I'm just putting the lyrics into the description.
