Sparks close out Side A of Gratuitous Sax & Senseless Violins with one of the album's most atmospheric and rewarding deep cuts. In this episode, we explore "Hear No Evil, See No Evil, Speak No Evil", a song that blends hypnotic trip-hop grooves, intricate electronic production and one of Russell Mael's most impressive vocal performances.

We discuss the song's striking production, its dark historical references to Hillary Clinton, Madame Mao and Cleopatra, the subtle rap-inspired delivery, and why this overlooked album track deserves far more attention than it has received. A hidden gem from one of Sparks' strongest albums.
