"This Town Ain't Big Enough for the Both of Us" is a weird, glam-fused sort of tune, and is the first song of one of the coolest albums ever, Kimono My House. Really, Sparks is a bit of a hard band to nail down, some albums are glam, some are this weird psuedo-new wave sort of deal, and others are simply mish-moshed. Russell Mael's falsetto voice is amazing, if he doesn't have his balls in a vice grip, I'll be damned. And weirdly enough, this band is American. It's a real rare gem in glam rock, its so perfectly balanced and flat out catchy.
Sorry about that weird bit in the first few seconds, who knows why its there.
Siouxie Sioux did a really cool cover of it too, her voice fits right in.
Faith No More's cover has that sinister Mr. Bungle vibe towards it, which is fucking awesome, let me tell you. If Mike Patton did a cover of fucking Skrewdriver's greatest hits, I'll buy that.
No, Justin Hawkins, no. Go back to humping spaceships please.

no clue as if to someone will take it down, but its there for the taking.
