Dick Clark always enjoyed having them on American Bandstand, their 80's American Bandstand performances are pretty famous among the fans. (Especially the one where Ron took over the mic, after which Dick Clark sent the letter seen above.)
^ Here we see them with Jane Wiedlin from The Go-Go's (also running in this competition) on American Bandstand, they did the song Cool Places together. (The music video for it is also worth checking out. As are most of their videos, actually, and they definitely had some good ones in the 80's.)
^ Some album covers people may enjoy.
^ Another collaboration, with the French band Les Rita Mitsouko.
^ Music That You Can Dance To era, which I personally am especially fond of.
Thank you for coming to my TED talk/80's Sparks crash course. VOTE SPARKS!
Screen recording of what the website used to be like. Not everything loads the way it's supposed to anymore, and the recording is rather speedy. Every time you return to the home screen there would be a different lyric on the typewriter, which I thought was really fun, and I love the sound effects! Unfortunately the discography section doesn't work at all anymore though, that was one of my favourite parts. It used to have a carousel where you could flip through all the albums, you could read the lyrics and also play some of the songs.
“I am lost without you. I am soulless, a drifter without a home, a solitary bird in a flight to nowhere. I am all these things, and I am nothing at all. This, my darling, is my life without you. I long for you to show me how to live again.”
I just saw your post on the chest touching and it reminded me of my VERY first Good Omens illustration that I was compelled to draw because said scene.
There was SO MUCH going on in that small gesture and it just sparked my obsession with this show. I adored Good Omens s1, but the chemistry of Tennet and Sheen working their magic in s2 just blew me away.
