Στο κλαμπ των εορταζόντων το μήνα Οκτώβριο και ο εκπληκτικός τραγουδιστής των Sparks, Russel Mael (photo αριστερά). Συνθέτης των τραγουδιών είναι φυσικά η ιδιοφυία του εκκεντρικού αμερικανικού ντουέτου, οργανίστας Ron Mael.
Με κάποιες εξαιρέσεις, όπως αυτό το αριστούργημα από το Kimono My House που τα δυο αδέλφια έγραψαν μαζί. Το άλμπουμ συνολικά είναι το magnum opus τους.

The amazing Sparks’ performer Russel Mael (photo left) belongs to the October born club. The songs’ composer is of course the genius of this eccentric American duet, Ron Mael.
With some exceptions, like this masterpiece from Kimono My House, that the two brothers wrote together. The album in its entirety is their magnum opus.

I tried to tell you in the night
That with a girl like you I could do without guided tours
You tried to tell me in the day
That your leading exports were textiles and iron ore
Hasta mañana monsieur
Were the only words that I knew for sure
Hasta mañana monsieur
Were the three little words that I knew you’d adore
Leaving my syntax back at school
I was thrown for a loss over gender and simple rules
You mentioned kant and I was shocked
You know, where I come from, none of the girls have such foul tongues
Hasta mañana monsieur
Were the only words that I knew for sure
Hasta mañana monsieur
I’m gonna do it now
C’est la vie, c’est la mort, say no more, no no more
It’s all the same
Whether here or there or anywhere
There’s them who have
And there are the others who have not
Kimono my house mon amour
I am sure that this motion don’t need no accompanying words
Guess I was wrong because you’ve fled
Leaving me with my michelin guide and half-empty foreign bed
Hasta mañana monsieur
Were the only words that I knew for sure
Hasta mañana monsieur
Were the three little words that I knew you’d adore
Hasta mañana monsieur
Were the only words that I knew for sure
Hasta mañana monsieur
Were the three little words that I knew you’d adore
