1974-Number 2 single.
Best Bit-At 1.39 If Ron Mael and his menacing Adolf Hitler moustache tell you there isn’t room for the both of you,leave.
Sparks are brothers Ron and Russell Mael who originally formed in 1968 under the name Halfnelson,on September 8th 2017 they released their 24th Studio Album called Hippopotamus.In 1974 Glam Rock was at its peak and this song belongs in that genre.The track has very quirky lyrics but basically the song’s main character keeps trying to work up the nerve to ask girls out but always chickens out,in order to make him feel better about himself he watches old cowboy movies.
