May 01, 2019 10 videos Play all SPARKS - LIL' BEETHOVEN Per Gustav Stefan Johansson; Metaphor - Duration: 4:04. SPARKS 1,109 views. Tryouts For The Human Race - Duration: 6:09. But the nine-song-strong Lil' Beethoven album is rendered immaculately, with backing tapes picking up the slack around the minimalist live band. From there, 13 'bonus live tracks' take you through a more conventional Sparks concert, but the mood and majesty of the earlier set lingers on, through both the expected hits and the occasional surprise inclusion - 'The Ghost of Liberace' is ethereally beautiful. Lil' Beethoven is the 19th album by the American rock band Sparks, released in 2002. In March 2004, Sparks re-issued Lil' Beethoven in a deluxe edition. This version had a black sleeve as opposed to the white original, and included three audio tracks (two of which were exclusive), a video of 'The Rhythm Thief' (directed by long-time collaborators Kuntzel+Deygas), a short film by Ron Mael, and a screensaver. N° 1 in Heaven, an Album by Sparks. Released 1 March 2019 on Lil' Beethoven (catalog no. LBRCD119; CD). Genres: Electro-Disco, Synthpop.

01. The Rhythm Thief
I am the rhythm thief
Say goodbye to the beat
I am the rhythm thief
Auf wiedersehen to the beat
Oh no, where did the groove go, where did the groove go, where did the groove go?
Lights out, Ibiza
Where did the groove go, where did the groove go, where did the groove go?
You'll never get it back, you'll never get it back,
The rhythm thief has got it and you'll never get it back
You'll never get it back, you'll never get it back,
The rhythm thief has got it and you'll never get it back
You'll never get it back, you'll never get it back,
The rhythm thief has got it and you'll never get it back
Lights out, Ibiza
I am the rhythm thief
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Say goodbye to the beat
I am the rhythm thief
Auf wiedersehen to the beat
Oh no, where did the groove go, where did the groove go, where did the groove go?
Lights out, Ibiza
Where did the groove go, where did the groove go, where did the groove go?
You'll never get it back, you'll never get it back,
The rhythm thief has got it and you'll never get it back
You'll never get it back, you'll never get it back,
The rhythm thief has got it and you'll never get it back
You'll never get it back, you'll never get it back,
The rhythm thief has got it and you'll never get it back
Lights out, Ibiza
I am the rhythm thief
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

05. Ride 'Em Cowboy
They laughed with me
Then laughed at me
They said, 'how true'
Then said, 'not you'
They thought how wise

Ride 'em
I got thrown again
Ride 'em
Get back on again
I swam, I sank
Top seed, unranked
The pole, the wall
The pride, the fall
A state of grace
Slapped in the face
A state of mind
Then card declined
From great to good
From good to fair
To barely pass
Stay after class
I'm hot I'm cold
I'm bought I'm sold
First accolades
Then hand grenades
Then laughed at me
They said 'how true'
Then said 'not you'
They thought how wise
Then thought goodbye
You hit your stride
Then Mr. Hyde
Ride 'em
I got thrown again
Ride 'em
Get back on again

09. My Baby's Taking Me Home
Home, my baby's taking me home
My baby's taking me home
My baby's taking me home
My baby's taking me home
My baby's taking me home
As we walk through the morning rain
And the skies are clearing
And the streets are glistening
Streets named for New England trees
A rainbow forms
But we're both colorblind
But we can hear what others can't hear
We can hear the sound of a chorus singing
Home, my baby's taking me home
My baby's taking me home
My baby's taking me home
My baby's taking me home
My baby's taking me home
My baby's taking me home
My baby's taking me home
My baby's taking me home
My baby's taking me home
As we walk through the morning rain
And the skies are clearing
And the streets are glistening
Streets named for New England trees
A rainbow forms
But we're both colorblind
But we can hear what others can't hear
We can hear the sound of a chorus singing
Home, my baby's taking me home
My baby's taking me home
My baby's taking me home
My baby's taking me home
My baby's taking me home

As they walk down the street arm in arm, I see them and once again feel the need to ask myself the question, the question that has weighed heavily on me of late. How is it possible that a guy and a girl so dissimilar in physical appearance, there being such a disparity in how attractive each is, be nonetheless in what would appear to be some sort of relationship?

How do we explain this? An attraction of opposites? No, that theory has been refuted by many experts in the fields of human psychology. A much greater attraction seems to come from one more similar to oneself. Personality, perhaps? Without intending to sound judgmental, I would say that he doesn't look like what was once called a 'live wire' or 'the life of the party.' He appears rather expressionless. His movements are stiff and even awkward. Perhaps he is a person of some intellect---an expert in science, the arts, political theory. No , I think not. See how well tailored his clothes are, how well cut his hair is.

I must confess to you, my listeners, that I have been a little less than honest in pretending I had no answers to my previous questions. You see, I lost someone very dear to me, someone very beautiful, to someone much like him.
Ah, you ask, surely there must have been other areas where you were deficient and he was not. No, I don't believe so. My shortcomings were of an economic nature. He was rich. I was not.
You see, I underestimated the appeal to her of things---imported things on wheels, large things with manicured lawns and Olympic swimming pools, things to wear around her neck that would glisten in the night light. Things. Still, I am not bitter. Rather, I am an observer who saw first hand how life may not be fair. Would things have turned out differently between me and her had I moved up the corporate ladder quicker, been born of more noble stock, or done better on one of our journeys to Las Vegas? Perhaps. In fact, I'm certain of it. Things would have turned out differently between me and her. I know this now. It ain't done with smoke and mirrors.

I bought me cornrows on Amazon
I started listening to Farrakhan
My caddy and me he looks just like Jay-Z
And I'm a suburban homeboy
I am a suburban homeboy with a suburban ho right by my side
She's known as Miss Missy Tannenbaum and she's one freak bitch, ain't no lie
She's from the projects in St. Tropez
She looks like Iverson in a way
She yo yo's me and I yo yo her back
And I'm a suburban homeboy
She yo yo's me and I yo yo her back
And I'm a suburban homeboy
She yo yo's me and I yo yo her back
And I'm a suburban homeboy
We are suburban homeboys
With our suburban ho's right by our sides
We are suburban homeboys and we say yo dog and we mean it, by God
We've got an old school mentality
Oxford and Cambridge mentality
Props to our peeps and please keep your receipts
And we are suburban homeboys
Props to our peeps and please keep your receipts
And we are suburban homeboys
Props to our peeps and please keep your receipts
And we are suburban homeboys
Props to our peeps and please keep your receipts
And we are suburban homeboys

Aah, Ludwig. Who are those two freaky looking friends of yours? Especially that one with the moustache that only Eva Braun could love? And then the other one; he looks a bit like that singer from that ’70s band who used to twitch around the Top Of The Pops set, yodelling like Jim Morrison with his chap caught in his zipper. What were they called again? Oh, Sparks? Oh, it is them? Okay, goodbye Ludwig.
Ron and Russel Mael’s Lil’ Beethoven project is given a ‘deluxe’ edition re-pressing after a rather confused and protracted launch last year. Should it ever be granted such a thing as mainstream airplay, Lil’ Beethoven might even give the brothers a commercial hit. Intel core 2 duo 2.93ghz. However, it would be wrong to deduce from this that Lil’ Beethoven panders to any current pop sensibility. Rather, it attempts to construct an international Art-Pop with orchestral textures, and wants to be loved for making the effort. For the most part, it succeeds.
Sparks Lil Beethoven Rar
When it does work Lil’ Beethoven demonstrates a decidedly suburban wit and intelligence not seen in mainstream pop since the Pet Shop Boys‘ hit-making period. There’s no re-filtered Hi-NRG here though. As the Maels explain on The Rhythm Thief, it’s time “to say goodbye to the beat” and furthermore, its “lights out, Ibiza”. In its place are towering but strangely frisky Philip Glass-like strings that permeate the irresistible I Married Myself and My Baby’s Taking Me Home.
With an ostensible “nine scintillating works of seduction and self-delusion”, the Mael brothers cover a lot of ground. Relying on repetitive phrasing, Sparks hammer home some velvet-gloved punchlines. Suburban Homeboy is an inspired send-up of that modern phenomenon – the slumming-it cultural dilettante whose caddy “looks just like Jay-Z” and whose “ho’ is “a freak bitch from the projects in St Tropez”.
Rather than dip in to some ersatz rapping, Suburban Homeboy is delivered in the fugue-like Mael harmonies familiar from Sparks hits of yore. Only Ugly Guys With Beautiful Girls fails to hit home. On paper a bitingly funny, if bitter, satire of upward mobility, the pastoral intro of Ugly Guys is broken by some over-urgent thrash guitar that tends to grate – the only miscalculation on the original set.
Let’s not forget too that this is a deluxe set. With a video, film, and screensaver thrown in, not to mention the glitzy packaging, there’s a lot here to tempt file-sharers away from uploading nirvana. And hey, what’s wrong with good old-fashioned artefacts anyway? For our pleasure, there are also three extra bonus tracks. Wunderbar is a missable echo of Laibach-style chanting, while the instrumental Rhythm Thief is strictly for completists. However, the Ron Mael spoken-word The Legend Of Lil’ Beethoven is a nice explainer for the whole album, and suggests that Lil’ Beethoven is that most maligned of forms, the concept album.
If it is, it’s the best kind of concept album (sadly no Rick Wakeman on ice here). The Mael Brothers examine the flotsam and jetsam of western values through the kaleidoscope eye of Lil’ Beethoven with a lightness of touch that skilfully avoids pomposity and overweening moralism. And with a keen eye on accessibility, Lil’ Beethoven needn’t be a private pleasure.
