"YOUR FANDANGO" (Lyrics):
Everybody likes it when you do your fandango, when you do your fandango, when you do your fandango
Everybody loves it when you do your fandango, when you do your fandango, when you do your fandango
Everybody loves it when you do your fandango, when you do your fandango, when you do your fandango
Everybody loves it when you do your fandango, when you do your fandango, when you do your fandango
Everybody likes it when you do your fandango, when you do your fandango, when you do your fandango
Everybody loves it when you do your fandango, when you do your fandango, when you do your fandango
Your fandango, fandango
Everyone loves it when you begin, your fandango fandango
Everyone loves it when you begin, your fandango fandango
Everybody loves it when you do your fandango, when you do your fandango, when you do your fandango
Everybody loves it when you do your fandango, when you do your fandango, when you do your fandango
All the ladies swoon whenever
You Sarabande
Every Friday ‘til Monday
They would gladly Pasodoble
In a bright pink tuxedo
Or a little tiny speedo
You make everyone’s libido
Stop and say, "Oh Yes Indeed-o"
Everybody likes it when you do your fandango, when you do your fandango, when you do your fandango
Everybody loves it when you do your fandango, when you do your fandango, your fandango, fandango
Everyone, everyone, by that I mean everyone, likes it when you begin, your fandango, fandango
Everyone, everyone, by that I mean everyone, loves it when you begin, your fandango, fandango
Whether Tango or Bolero
Or Corrida or Flamenco
We don’t mind a little Zambra
Or a quick Zapateado
They may envy your Farruca
But not so much your Cachucha
And I must say your Bambera
Is no match for my Muiñeira
Not your mother’s Martinetes
Or your father’s Matachines
Nor your sister’s Alborea
Or your cousin’s old Solea
We may not Alegrias
On your style of Bulerias
But we’d all pay to see ya
Dance your famous Seguidilla
Everybody likes it when you do your fandango, when you do your fandango, when you do your fandango
Everybody likes it when you do your fandango, when you do your fandango, your fandango, fandango
Everyone loves it when you begin, your fandango, fandango
Everyone loves it when you begin, your fandango, fandango
Everyone loves it when you begin, your fandango, fandango
Everyone loves it when you begin, your fandango, fandango
Everybody likes it when you do your fandango, when you do your fandango, when you do your fandango
Everybody loves it when you do your fandango, when you do your fandango, when you do your fandango

Is there some sort of genius exchange I always was to mediocre to be invited to? The Brothers Mael have a knack to find these people and make them shine on their own merit.

@@NoxiousRob I SERIOUSLY doubt it will be some sort of collaboration Sparks - Morrissey, as the situation turned a little tense around Morrissey, on a matter that is of importance to the Mael brothers. And to ME it seems like Ron and Russell have been flattered but also amused by Morrissey, and have had a smile or two on his behalf. After Morrissey expressed himself somewhat surprisingly, in a negative way, which he, TO MY KNOWLEDGE, hasn't given a really good explanation to. I assume the Maels expect that before they consider meeting him as friends again. I don't believe in a collaboration. The rest is my speculations about a fact (that Morrissey expressed himself in a neither smart nor politically correct way) and its consequences.

Sparks have been more or less inhabiting this particular lunatic world for their entire career, whereas Todd has only made occasional forays (the musical "Up Against It" - especially "The Smell of Money" - but above all "The Lord Chancellor's Nightmare Song" from "Todd", 1974. In any case it is indeed wonderful to see the two forces collaborating again, in extremis, in these latter days.

Thank you! Alarm/reminder set 😁😍! Like Lady Vampiria here, I was thinking of this recording just yesterday when I looked at the lyrics of 'Simple Ballet ('Halfnelson' / 'Sparks') where PARTS of the lyrics, torn out of its context, can be very fitting to a release or premiere of music or a movie. Todd Rundgren was the producer to this album, the one person who saw what we nowadays know; These guys, Ron and Russell Mael, Sparks, are something special, something that the world should know about! It's so great that you did this together, can't wait to hear it! Ron and Russell! I love you both 💖💖 Todd! Thank you!! 💖

I have an impulse to say "Sparks, NEVER change!" but it's been like half a century... I think there's very little chance of that happening! They have been walking to the beat of their own drummer for so long that I am beginning to think everyone else is just tuneless!

So happy to find this. Woke up to this tune n still playing. Three/four great talents. Love hearing Todd Rundgren making n having fun w/Sparks. Saw both in the mid 70's. First 45 I bought was Todd Rundgren w/Runt doing "We Gotta Get You a Woman" Leroy Boy... This made my day n it's only 9:30am.
