When I was 14, I picked up The Island Story (1987), a 2-disc compilation celebrating Island Record's 25th anniversary. I was educating myself the history of rock and pop. This song is on that collection, and it was my introduction to glam, years before I discovered Roxy Music or got deep into 1970s Bowie. And I thought of Sparks when I first heard The Last Dinner Party. It makes total sense that TLDP would cover this unlikely 1974 hit.
This has to be one of the best cover versions I've ever heard. Absolutely brilliant from start to finsh. I mean, just listen to Emily's guitar playing ffs!
@@madi469 only made a few comments. Don't hate them, but they are mediocre.....and as there is still freedom of speech (for now) then I will say what I think. I had heard a lot of hype about them and was hoping for something good, sadly not. No hate though. You sound like you have some hate in you by your comment. I forgive you
@@kevinslaney486 freedom of speech yes but making multiple comments about your opinion is not needed and looks like you have nothing else do to. also, nothing but love here, pls get that “i forgive you” stuff out of here tho it makes you come across as super arrogant !
Brilliant sound, excellent vocals and your lead guitar work - take a bow! Your cover of ‘Call Me’ is amazing. Blondie created that hit 40 years ago and you have done Deborah Harry & the band incredibly proud. We will be watching & waiting for more musical genius!
It's a nice cover, but the original version and the remake that Sparks did with Faith No More in 1997 has more guts. That said, I hope that the album will be a big hit for TLDP. 🙂
Fellow lesbian here haha 🙋♀️ Just out of curiosity, have any members of TLDP ever openly talked about being queer or is it just presumed from their songs and such?
This is FITTING...'cause I knew these Ladies "HAD IT" from the GET-GO!! Is it just a coincidence that I'm featuring SPARKS on my next Radio Show?!! There's definitely some kind of "Faye Vibe" @ work here!! 😉
Thought of this Sparks song first time I heard their track “Sinner”. Played both songs back to back for my wife and she was like “meh… maybe”… I feel slightly vindicated to see them do a cover of it.
Excellent choice as a cover. I always felt like Sparks never got the recognition they deserved, kinda like TRex. Well, TRex was big in England but not so much in the US. Anyways....great song, great performance.
Video editing gone mad, and the studio audio lacks guts. The recent live, audience shot Dublin version with Abigail in the black top and red dress is much more enjoyable and gutsy - or the besuited one at the L.A. Fonda. You get to see the dancing. Face it! they're much better in live continuity - in every way.
Such a difficult song to sing but Abigail absolutely nails it perfectly
But she still can't reach those high notes as good as Russell.
I think they all nail it personally, but as someone who loves guitar…fuck me Emily Roberts, that absolutely rocks! 😮
I agree.
@Gerardus-lo4ks Emily F**king Roberts. Great guitarist is she?
I never thought I would love a band this much in my lifetime
I never thought anyone would top Siouxsie’s cover of this but here we are
A show with Sparks too would clearly be the best thing ever.
They're just such accomplished musicians.

Yess! Gets better the more (and louder!) you play it! 😎
Wow, Abigail sings this so well and the whole band rocks! Just preordered the new album too.
Perfect choice for them…makes me love em even more
Fifty years after the Kimono My House release. Fantastic! Abigail and Russell are kindred spirits.
Everyone complaining about Oasis tickets and there's me with TLDP tickets all happy and content. Bring on Nov 17th!!!
Best thing to happen to music in a long, long time ❤
TLDP & Sparks...A match made in heaven ❤
I now want to hear Sparks covering Nothing Matters .
This x 100000000000.
Girls just wanna have fun! Passionate & hitting the spot 🤘🏼💃🏻
Came here because Sparks themselves reposted this video! GREAT cover! Can't wait to buy this!
This band is quite often likened to sparks and while I see the influence, it’s really nice to see their own take on it and style shining through :)
Uh
No Own Take
This is Cosplaying Us and Our Heritage
@@butlayf-dy2sj "Our Heritage" Christ almighty it must suck to be you.
@@kevinslaney486you are under nearly every comment, sorry that u feel the need to be hating like a boring man just leave them be

A full live album would be awesome
The cover you were born to. So good. You Lot!
Can't think of another current band who could do this justice. Well done.
😳
Justin Hawkins from the darkness
Think some more
This gives me a Dresden Dolls vibes
You pick the best songs to cover! 🪩🌈🎉
TLDP never miss.
Perfect cover as always
You guys should totally do some covers of The Darkness. Something like Love on the Rocks With No Ice would be sick!
A great job of covering this fun song by The Sparks.
Love both TLDP and Sparks!✨🌹
What a brilliant combo!
I remember thinking of this song the first time I head TLDP, so happy to hear them cover it! 😍
Yes !!!!!!!! . this makes me happy ! i was depressed as shit but now im alive !!
This is properly excellent
💗💗💗💗 amoo
The way I can officially say I've seen this live at OSL 🙌
EMILY FUCKING ROBERTSSSSSSSSS!😍😍😍😍😍😍
She rocks 🤘
Breath-taking
Their covers never miss
No doubt they did Ron proud !
Nice cover choice. 👌
Best band in years. When in Finland? I hope soon.
Great stuff! Thoroughly enjoyed it.
Super montage 🤩
Indeed. Quite incredible.
Wow!
the guitar on this is so good
I love this band so much!
Magnificent.
😊❤❤ BELLA. CANCIÓN 💯❤️🤗 SALUDOS desde ECUADOR 🇪🇨
What fun. Also showcasing the stage costumes of the originators thru the ages.
Love this
What a great cover - love Sparks but may I say this is better than the original. Go girls
You are right.
Esta versión es una muy buena interpretación. Solo es eso. Nada más. Y me gusta. Y escogieron bien ese grandioso tema de la fabulosa banda SPARKS.
@@cesarvaldiviahuapaya7288 in English please.
@@niallq8447 Go to translator, please. 😉
@@cesarvaldiviahuapaya7288 OK.
The amount of downvotes I got on Reddit for comparing TLDP to Sparks is wild. Glad to see this cover.
Not surprising, really. Sparks’ version is a masterpiece. This is karaoke from a really mediocre band.
@@Donkeyshed681 why you watching it then 😂
@@matthewmolson2736 Not mediocre at all. Ok it is a hard song to do but they nailed it.
@@niallq8447 I didn’t say mediocre the other guy did.
@@matthewmolson2736 I know. Believe you.
Great. Like it
SEATED AND FED AND READY FOR THE COVERS AND ACOUSTIC ALBUM
Hooray!
Great song, great cover
That guitar
Queen x
It's a nice cover, but the original version and the remake that Sparks did with Faith No More in 1997 has more guts. That said, I hope that the album will be a big hit for TLDP. 🙂
First comment ! omg can't wait to see them
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
YAAAAAAASSSSSS GIRRRRRRRRRLS
Yesssssssssz
thank you because the video of this on my phone was not giving
another big day for the lesbians (me)🤗
Fellow lesbian here haha 🙋♀️
Just out of curiosity, have any members of TLDP ever openly talked about being queer or is it just presumed from their songs and such?
@@SkyfullofStardust I think one of them is a they/them
@@SkyfullofStardustAbigail was in a relationship with a man before the tour but that doesn’t really narrow down what she could label herself as
Saying your gay is the new straight ..who cares.
@@SkyfullofStardust MLOM and Sinner are very much about being queer as they said in interviews, also Lizzie is nonbinary and uses they/them pronouns
Omggggggg perfect cover
What a great band. ❤❤🧡🧡💛💛💚💚💙💙💜💜
This is FITTING...'cause I knew these Ladies "HAD IT" from the GET-GO!! Is it just a coincidence that I'm featuring SPARKS on my next Radio Show?!! There's definitely some kind of "Faye Vibe" @ work here!! 😉
Incredible as always 💜🖤🦇🖤💜
oh yes thank you
❤❤❤❤❤
i need them to cover arctic monkeys next 😩😩 they would rock it!!!!
Will there be a CD version? 😊
Oh yes! I see there is 😊
❤❤
I always thought they reminded me of sparks a bit vocally
RELEASE THE DAMN SONG ALREADY PLEASEEE
They just did?
@@Whoracle8531 i didn’t see 😭😭
Could just go and listen to sparks. They’re the original artist that made the song 😂
Abigail has a good voice and sounds does like the lead singer of sparks. Ron mael. And does well in the version.
ABBA vibes ♥️
Have you seen that this track got added to the editorial playlist 'New Music Friday UK' with over 859K Followers on Spotify!
Oh. My. God.
You gals should go full circle Sparks and hire Tammy Glover to play drums!!
Thought of this Sparks song first time I heard their track “Sinner”. Played both songs back to back for my wife and she was like “meh… maybe”… I feel slightly vindicated to see them do a cover of it.
OMG
I just wish that the drummer had a bit more oomph!
Any song + TLDP = instant banger
1:02
This is an awesome video, wish I was there to see you guys perform! 🥀♥️
Band is great.I still like the formats cover better ...I may be bias though.
holy fuck.
Recorded track over live performance
Boldly going where Justin Hawkins has gone before.
and Siouxsie And The Banshees
Arghhhhh I LOVED this one live!! It's was a manic feast 🤤
Only TLDP could do this track justice ... love it 💕
Well..Other than Sparks 😂
Great cover. I do think the keyboard player is very hot indeed
Excellent choice as a cover. I always felt like Sparks never got the recognition they deserved, kinda like TRex. Well, TRex was big in England but not so much in the US. Anyways....great song, great performance.
So prog rock 🖤
Was this metroplex speaking to trypticon...??

Just can't reach those high notes quite like Russell.
Can we get a collaboration please! (Oh, collaborations don't work ....)
