HAPPY BIRTHDAY RUSSELL!!
You're the No. ONE!

I chose that video because of the screen play they used. Except for the four fingers, those "aliens" look very much like poor people from a country south of the USA, I think.
24.09.2025 08:44 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0That's one of the things that show the genius in their lyrics. There is so much "hidden" in the humorous words. "We make serious songs with a jolly melody" Ron once said. True.

(of course with ironyπ), and I think that's one of their most "serious" albums, in all. It's just a question about whether you wear pink shades, or slightly dark, when you listen. π€·π

Honestly, is this about "Martians" or just people, born in an other country than yours?

But not all aliens are "legal".)

We should treat everyone with respect.. Or?
I found this in a YT short, polished it up with a couple of capital letters and commas.
"Stimmyabby", whoever you are, you nailed it! Thank you!
(Swedish translation + English)
Well spoken! This is what we in Europe think too.

(Sorry, COPENHAGEN WAS THE 3RD OF JULY!)
Sparks at GrΓΆna Lund, Stockholm, on July 4.
While waiting by the fence a couple of hours before the show began, the band came out for a short sound check, and played a couple of songs! (Not Ron & Russell)
My summer fun: Sparks at DR Koncerthuset, Copenhagen on July 4.

'Gone With The Wind' is an all-time favorite! This and 'Pineapple' always make me in a better mood πππ€©
And, Russell penned both of them!!
A shout out! Russell on their musical youth etc.
