You don’t go out to find Sparks’ music. Sparks’ music find you.

That's so true! It's also how I became a huge fan.

@kyachdistent1301 Год назад

That is SUCH a cool thing to say-and unnervingly true. It did it to me but boy am I mad this didn't happen decades ago. Why not? I blame the UK for keeping them out of the mainstream forever, but I'm also an idiot here too.

Ron is a hidden gem.

@lynnroverud2067 5 лет назад

Ron is a national treasure!!

@girlfromgermany 4 года назад

I'd really also love to be in a position that I can say: "I really love Sparks." and then a meeting with them is arranged!

@Salena905 Год назад

Such a great idea putting these two bands together, they worked so perfectly together . ❤❤❤❤☺️

@raymondholgate8111 4 года назад

My daughter also listens to 'Sparks, because of me and she says your music is brilliant!!!

@doodlenoodlex Год назад

I found sparks on a compliation album for glam rock and one boring holiday I played this town on a loop (I’m autistic so sometimes I play things on a loop to feel the stimulation) and I soon began looking and listening to the back catalogue

Collaborations Don't Work is a great song.

@girlfromgermany 4 года назад

In another FFS interview Alex said when he first met Russell and Ron they talked about working together and then Sparks sent the song "Piss Off" to Franz Ferdinand. XD Later they met again and decided to make the collaboration, and what do Sparks do? They send the song "Collaborations Don't Work". XD XD

@GSkid2000 8 лет назад

Ron visually is giving off a very John Waters vibe to me. Even his speech and mannerisms are similar.

I heard FFS couple years ago, now i've rediscovered Sparks through Annette (which i hated, but it *was like anything else ive ever seen before* )

@dayuhanspace 3 года назад

Cant take Russell seriously with those sunglasses. 😁

@boredweegie553 4 года назад

That's the point though.Theyre not to be taken seriously.Theyre all about fun.

@annabackman3028 4 года назад

@@boredweegie553 Disagree. About the "fun" part. They have so many songs with a depth that grabbes on to you, if listening. They often cover depth with humor. The shades... No, but it looks odd.

@written12 4 года назад

They are a bit much in an interview, a sit-down interview for that matter.

@girlfromgermany 2 года назад

The question is: Why does he wear them? What does he want to hide?

@robertaitken9684 3 года назад

I can hear some slight Scottish twang in Alex's accent when he talks and I expected that when I went to listen to him speak with his normal speaking voice since he moved to live in Scotland when he was 7.

@Ami483 2 года назад

He doesnt have accent really, I mean I can understand him. Listen to his mate Paul, that is hard to me or watch trainspotting 🥴

@deniskiripolsky 8 лет назад

that one on the right looks like from pet shop boys video "i wouldnt normally do this kind of thing" :)

@annabackman3028 5 лет назад

"That one on the right" is Russell Mael, Ron Mael in the middle, the Sparks part of FFS.

@davidcopson5800 4 года назад

"That one on the right". Get a grip man!

@boredweegie553 4 года назад

Why are people here saying "that guy on the right"?? You stumble into wrong video coz clearly you know fk all about sparks 😣

@ethericboy 4 года назад

By "people" you mean "Zac Dior" ofcourse and an impatient guy because Russel does speak in the video

@tiefensucht 4 года назад

True, its not a guy, its an alien.

Doesn't the guy on the far right in the sun glasses 😎 speak? 🤔

Usually it’s Ron who’s silent

@kyachdistent1301 Год назад

Oy, FF boyband bloke, actually "spectacularly bad" is pretty much ALL that ever happens and they can talk as they part of it generally, though their collaboration with these dudes at least makes me tolerant of them-for that one album anyway. But 1990 onwards sucks as almost everything does that passes for 'music'.
