Sparks are an American rock and pop music band formed in Los Angeles in 1970 by brothers Ron Mael (keyboards) and Russell Mael (vocals), initially under the name Halfnelson. Best known for their quirky approach to song writing, Sparks' music is often accompanied by cutting and acerbic lyrics, and an idiosyncratic stage presence, typified in the contrast between Russell's wide-eyed hyperactive frontman antics and Ron's sedentary scowling.
The band's long career has seen them successfully adopt many different musical genres; including glam pop

It's hard to make acquaintances in our big town Most eyes stare at nothing much at all But here comes Bob I aint subtle in my ways of making friends, acquaintances
Instant adulation comes to some at birth Born to queens or corporate entities But here comes Bob Someday they’ll put me away I’ll think back on active days most were worth the minor cars Some were worth the damaged cars And the judge will say to me "Bob, You’ve got a bad means to a worthwhile end" Well, here comes Bob
