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.

That'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.

When they released HYL they admitted there was a political message in '(Baby Baby) Can I Invade Your Country?' (of course with ironyπŸ˜‰), 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. 🀷😍

They are on the team of the good guys, you know!

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

But not all aliens are "legal".)

(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)

Whether you are interested in politics, the USA and Trump, or the war in Ukraine, YOU SHOULD spend 44 minutes and listen to this man. This is important to all of us. Unfortunately.
