sparks' new single

[crisgal]

Have you heard it?
I like it. It got me thinking of the old
"thistownain'tbigenoughforthebothofus"
Did they really sing "You are a kacky coloured bum"?
That's what me and my brother used to sing anyway!

[squarebear]

Sparks as in the band with that weird Hitler type guy staring and playing keyboards?! Surely not?!?!

[jno]

You are a khaki coloured bombardier, it's Hiroshima that you're nearing

[crisgal]

THE VERY SAME!
Oops, don't know where those capitals came from - sorry for shouting!
Yep, the wierd duo have a new single, I've heard it a few times on radio 1 and 2.
You'd know it was them!

[crisgal]

oh that's just ace, tigger. great to hear it again! x

[tiggerblue10]

Ahhhh the memories!

[crisgal]

I always had to be the moron on the keyboards while my big brother danced around, singing!

I think they have come to prominence again because The Hoosiers pretty much copied their sound. It's given them a new lease of life to a younger generation who often have little idea of what was good in the 70s.

[crisgal]

I think you're right.
Don't you think Cops and Robbers sounds a bit like The Cure's "Love cat"

[jno]

they are doing a series of shows in which they perform a different one of their albums every night

Might have to give them some itunes space x

I thought that too crisgal, that Hoosiers song sounds very much like Love Cats. Hats off to Sparks by the way.
