Sparks - iPhone (Official Video) 

Damned straight! Some of the most intelligent and humorous songwriters EVER!!

I agree. It's so refreshing to see that they're still in it.

Almost my age! One year Younger and still so fabullous!!

Absolutely 👌

I was born in ‘67.

I know! I can't believe I needed guys in their 70s bitching about phones! I watched this and I missed my dad.

What difference does it make if they're in their 70s? They're artists. Age is but a number.

You are right, they are unique !!!!.They are in their 70s, it does not matter to me.... There are so many musicians that are younger and whose music is just the copy of what was done (the Sparks' music for instance) in the 70ies and the 80ies.... And these today's' young musicians will probably not be as charming and imaginative at the same age of the Sparks' brothers. It is too bad that the camera blurs Russell's face since he is still extremely good-looking now even if his face and neck are wrinkled. You can't be 25 your whole life, and if it's to stay as talented and charming as Ron and Russell that's good.

You have to listen to the bad music some iconics stars are producing recently in their golden age (like some famous ex-Beatles). Very bad indeed. Sparks still shine on. That's real genius. Music with IQ.

Well said. They are true to form and honest

Well according to the moronic world, everyone can and has achieved this.

Be fair, hardly any could as the 70s was generally full of nonsense with no staying power and dated shortcomings. Give their following generation a chance-as Duran are matching them quick, and Alphaville, A-ha & OMD are also doing it for the guys. But look at ABBA coming back after decades of simply being forever icons without issuing anything new!

Be fair, most prolific act in the world until that film that never got made slowed them up. But then once the noughties were here, they restarted anew with a massive fire exploding within. Few acts have managed 23 albums without going kaput! And STILL no sign of stopping. Yay!

Indeed x

Queen’s new live album, Liam Gallagher’s new christmas tune, sparks ofc and more i could list but rn i cba*

When things were at their very worst: 2 Suns, Cross in the sky, 2 comets will collide = don`t be afraid - repent, accept Lord`s Hand of Mercy. The first sign - the Earth will spin faster. The second sign concerns the sun, which will loom larger, brighter and begin to spin. Scientists will say it was a global illusion. Beaware - Jesus will never walk in flesh again. After WW3 - rise of the “ man of peace“ from the East = Antichrist - the most powerful, popular, charismatic and influential leader of all time. Many miracles will be attributed to him. He will imitate Jesus in every conceivable way. Don`t trust „pope“ Francis = the False Prophet - will seem to rise from the dead - will unite all Christian Churches and all Religions as one. One World Religion = the seat of the Antichrist. Benedict XVI is the last true pope - will be accused of a crime of which he is totally innocent. - banking collapse was deliberately masterminded by the Antichrist - Antichrist will step in and create a false peace in the state of Israel by joining them with palestine in an unlikely alliance. - „He will recite extracts from My Teachings, which he will passionately proclaim from every secular stage in the world, until people sit up and take notice of him.“ The Book of Truth mdmlastprophet.com/the-schism-in-my-church-will-be-broken-into-different-stages/ mdmlastprophet.com/the-biggest-abomination-since-the-holocaust-is-being-plotted-against-the-jews/

@@josephka9295 Did you slam your head into a door

They are the real heroes of 2020, but it’s not like there weren’t all sorts of good reasons to pay attention to them previously.

"Put your fcuking iPhone down and listen to me" must be the best chorus line of all time ! !

Studmuffin, you're thinking of Don Kirshner's Rock Concert or ABCs "ln Concert".

@@sugarjoe50 They were also on the Midnight Special NBC TV show hosted by George Carlin, plus the other 2 you mention... November 1974. EPISODE DESCRIPTION --George Carlin (host) --The Kiki Dee Band - "I've Got the Music in Me" --Roger McGuinn - "Peace on You" & "Better Change" --Sparks - "Takent Is an Asset," "This Town Ain't Big Enough for Both of Us," "Amateur Hour" & "Here In Heaven" --Roy Wood's Wizzard - "Brand New '88" & "Ball Park Incident

But weren't they also on Sprockets, I remember them dancing with Dieter, but I was high as fuk!!

Me too. Though I admit I lost track of them for [checks watch] 40 years or so. Amazing.

pick up your broken iphone now

I think you are mistaking age for relevance. You can be 90 and be inspired to make great things or you can be 20 and camp the role of the idiot for your whole life.

@@danielg335 I am not sure that Russell will be still able to sing at a such high-pitched voice at 90. For the moment, they are far away from this age of life and I am looking forward to seeing them and listening to their music on the stage in 2022.

Totally agree .

Put ya fuckin i phone down.....

😂😂😂 likewise

Android! Ha 😂

Yep....

iPad. At least the screens bigger

Hear! Hear! Far too good to be American.

I'M AMERICAN AND CAN'T BELIEVE THEY'RE AMERICAN!! LOVE THESE GUYS!!!

yhey sound more british than the british. shades of omd,human league, erasure

True or German?

@@nsfeliz7825 Yes, most of those bands are modelled on Sparks, including the Pet Shop Boys

And most are criminally OVERRATED. Singers too!

Self-effacing or Selfie-facing? 🤔

Yep. He's grown right into that look!

The two brothers' talents is still the same. Russel has changed but still good looking and more charming than in the 70ies-80ies...

Agreed. True genius it makes him timeless.

@@WahldoK Surely he was charming in both those decades too!?

Does that not tell us something about Americans?

They're victims of a bible quote that often turns out to be true: "No one is a prophet in his own country"

Isn't that why Queen didn't trour the U.S.? They couldn't fill the stadiums here like they could everwhere else in the world?

@Damon Wadyko North Texas was amazing back in the day. Even bands that weren't that well known would fill up medium size venues. Bands such as Kansas would fill up sports arenas.

Well, don't worry, uv'e always got Billy Ra Sirus who will blow you away with his Achy Breaky Heart...AH! You are so lucky.

Try to watch Edgar Wright's documentary 'The Sparks Brothers' whenever the chance is given!!

"Propaganda" was their second album. I believe they have 25 albums in total.

At first I thought you maybe meant the German band. That did seem a bit weird. But TBH not totally.

Rochester represent!

@@MrUnidyne No their 4st !

Yes, that takes class.

... the paradox is, they buy it for the kids

In my case my children could have sung it to me since I often use my Iphone. But I mainly use it outside and to listen to the Sparks' music and forget boring queue-ups at the supermarket or not to hear loudly people's conversations on the bus

Not just parents.

Team Android over here but I still relate.

Iphoners are victims.......

@@csabakerekes3848 Apple ...ugh!

If you haven't already, try to go see the recently released Edgar Wright documentary "The Sparks Brothers".

@@MadcapShambleton where can I watch that, from Europe?

Apologies hit 'dislike' accidentally. Yer right, I agree Will now hit two likes as redress. I happen to think you're an all right guy.

Latest album is also a masterpiece

You have good taste. 👍

Good to see you! I hope Christmas brought something fun to you 🎅 And I wish you A VERY MUCH HAPPIER NEW YEAR ✨ 🎆 🥂 🍾 😁

Hi Anna glad you doing good !Merry Xmas and Happy New Year!

And Ron, with a picture of himself taking a selfie!
