I know we all hate negativity on the site, but I just have to say it:

Teriible song, terrible video.

I'm a bit of an oddball so perhaps I may appreciate it more than others but I think it is pretty damned funny! The song is pretty funny as well. Thanks for posting this as I hadn't seen it.

I enjoyed this as well.

I'd also love to see Mozmic_Dancer's video for When Last I Spoke to Carol on the front page. It is amazing.

Silvery (Score:0)

I wonder if Moz has heard Silvery, they're almost a modern Sparks.

I'd much rather see them as support on the new tour than Doll & The Kickzzzzzzzzz

Lyrics (Score:1, Informative)

She won't go out with me, no, she won't go out
'Cause my intellect's paper thin
She won't go out with me, no, she won't go out
Since my intellect's not like him

So, lighten up, Morrissey

She won't hang out with me, no, she won't hang out
'Til my biting wit bites like his
She won't hang out with me, no, she won't hang out
'Til my quick retort's quick as his

So, lighten up, Morrissey?
Lighten up, lighten up
Lighten up, lighten up
Lighten up, Morrissey
Lighten up, lighten up
Lighten up, Morrissey

She won't have sex with me, no, she won't have sex
'Less it's done with a pseudonym
She won't do sport with me, no, she won't do sport
Says it's way, way too masculine, look at him

So, lighten up, Morrissey?Lighten up, lighten up
Lighten up, lighten up
Lighten up, Morrissey
Lighten up, lighten up
Lighten up, Morrissey

I got comparisons coming out my ears
And she never can hit the pause
If only Morrissey weren't so Morrisseyesque
She might overlook all my flaws

So, lighten up, Morrissey
Lighten up, lighten up
So, lighten up, Morrissey
Lighten up, lighten up
Lighten up, lighten up
Lighten up, Morrissey'
Lighten up, lighten up
Lighten up, Morrissey
She won't dine out with me, no, she won't dine out
Says my t-bone steak is at fault
She won't dine out with me, no, she won't dine out
With a murderer, pass the salt

Lighten up, lighten up
Lighten up, lighten up
Lighten up, Morrissey
Lighten up, lighten up

Lighten up, lighten up
Lighten up, Morrissey
Lighten up, lighten up
Lighten up, Morrissey

If you're not familiar with the Sparks sound, you're not going to like it.

I like it.

Wonderful (Score:0)

Sparks are amazing, i saw them live last year when they did a residency in London, this song is so cool.

Video is a bit suspect though.

If your intelligent enough to check them out before condemning them listen to the album Plagiarism which is a cover album of their own songs. I.e. different versions....

Morrissey also is a fan and invited them to his 'Meltdown' a few years ago.

Wonder what he thinks of this track, anyone know?

Lighten Up! (Score:2, Insightful)

It has Sparks AND Morrissey. What's not to like?

I'm sure that Morrissey will love this video, with the irresistable combination of cross-dressing and narcissism. It's well documented that he's a massive fan. He had a letter published in NME about Kimono My House as a teenager. I read that his song Mute Witness is a musical tribute to Sparks. There's a cute photo in Morrissey Shot of a nervous Moz meeting the Mael brothers.

It must be wonderful to have your heroes pay tribute back. Can you imagine if Morrissey did a song about you?

Great song from the wonderful Sparks.
I shall be going to see them at the Forum, London, in March and would recommend you all to do the same.
Sparks are great live!
