"YOUR FANDANGO" (Lyrics):

Everybody likes it when you do your fandango, when you do your fandango, when you do your fandango
Everybody loves it when you do your fandango, when you do your fandango, when you do your fandango
Everybody loves it when you do your fandango, when you do your fandango, when you do your fandango
Everybody loves it when you do your fandango, when you do your fandango, when you do your fandango
Everybody likes it when you do your fandango, when you do your fandango, when you do your fandango
Everybody loves it when you do your fandango, when you do your fandango, when you do your fandango

Your fandango, fandango

Everyone loves it when you begin, your fandango fandango
Everyone loves it when you begin, your fandango fandango

Everybody loves it when you do your fandango, when you do your fandango, when you do your fandango
Everybody loves it when you do your fandango, when you do your fandango, when you do your fandango

All the ladies swoon whenever
You Sarabande
Every Friday ‘til Monday
They would gladly Pasodoble
In a bright pink tuxedo
Or a little tiny speedo
You make everyone’s libido
Stop and say, "Oh Yes Indeed-o"

Everybody likes it when you do your fandango, when you do your fandango, when you do your fandango
Everybody loves it when you do your fandango, when you do your fandango, your fandango, fandango

Everyone, everyone, by that I mean everyone, likes it when you begin, your fandango, fandango
Everyone, everyone, by that I mean everyone, loves it when you begin, your fandango, fandango

Whether Tango or Bolero
Or Corrida or Flamenco
We don’t mind a little Zambra
Or a quick Zapateado
They may envy your Farruca
But not so much your Cachucha
And I must say your Bambera
Is no match for my Muiñeira
Not your mother’s Martinetes
Or your father’s Matachines
Nor your sister’s Alborea
Or your cousin’s old Solea
We may not Alegrias
On your style of Bulerias
But we’d all pay to see ya
Dance your famous Seguidilla

Everybody likes it when you do your fandango, when you do your fandango, when you do your fandango
Everybody likes it when you do your fandango, when you do your fandango, your fandango, fandango

Everyone loves it when you begin, your fandango, fandango
Everyone loves it when you begin, your fandango, fandango
Everyone loves it when you begin, your fandango, fandango
Everyone loves it when you begin, your fandango, fandango

Everybody likes it when you do your fandango, when you do your fandango, when you do your fandango
Everybody loves it when you do your fandango, when you do your fandango, when you do your fandango

Todd really shows his musical chameleon skills here. His additions are perfect, and his humor fits perfectly with Sparks. Hope they decide to do an LP's worth of tunes.

[melliforte]

This song has been playing in my head nonstop for the last 5 days. This is not the first time the Maels have taken my mind prisoner. Has anyone else had this experience?

[BrandonBriers]

Sparks still killing it over 50 years later

[stevenwilliams]

Is there no end to these guys talent. Ron and Russell do it again, again and again. Flipping brilliant!!

[edwardthorne]

Sparks has only been in my life for -- almost 50 years? Once went to a Todd Rundgren concert and he slapped my hand while leaving the stage. Great artist! Saw him solo and with Utopia.

[rikvanhorn]

I want every musician I love to collaborate at least once with Sparks and once with Todd, so this is absolute perfection.

[deckenneth]

Rundgren's production skills remain unmatched.

[ld]

Sparks & Rundgren would be crazy not to collaborate on a full album after this pop masterpiece. Seriously, while it sadly will never be recognized as such, this is one of the most epic, infectious pop songs I have ever heard.

[mattbanhagel]

Todd never ceases to amaze me after 50 years. This is a really good album!

[canadianstudmuffin]

Every 50 years Todd and Sparks work together. 😁

[andrureeve]

Bought my first Sparks album (INDISCREET) and first Todd Rundgren album (HERMIT OF MINK HOLLOW) right around the same time in 1978, and I've never stopped buying either artist's records since then. Two of the best. It's nice to have both working together again.

[michaelhaukedalen]

Outstanding work by Liisa Vääriskoski! Screenplay, director, cinematography, editing, animation, and actor.

[gracemacfarlane]

Oh wow, this is epic! It’s classic Sparks - not like anything you’ve heard before and yet the invention, the playfulness, the brio, the sheer craftsmanship makes it identifiable at once. And it looks amazing. HOW can these guys still be so good after all this time?

[NoxiousRob]

Massive shout out to Liisa Vääriskoski, the star of this video in many, many more ways than one

[jesscogger]

My favourite moment of 2021 so far, hearing this song for the first time 👍

[sherriwitkovwrobell]

Anyone else playing this on repeat? Love it!

[BuDJ-IIS]

great as always....sparks are not for all ....well, for most of us....otherwise what a wonderful world it would be...

[RebirthRadio]

Wow, they've done it again, surpassed expectations and done the impossible. Sparks and Todd reunited after almost 50 years and sounding totally over the top, effortlessly more interesting than 99% of other bands! Love this track.

[bvmark]

I've been a lifelong Sparks fan - when I first heard this I thought 'I don't rate this very much' then spent the day humming the bloody thing. Sparks do that to you.. you might think you don't like it - but subconsciously you do. Its an ear worm that gets into your brain. That's what I love about them. (Forgive me for doubting you Ron & Russ. X)
