Sparks take a surprising detour with "Tsui Hark," a quirky tribute to the legendary Hong Kong film director. Built around spoken-word samples, an infectious groove and understated electronic textures, it's one of the album's most unusual moments—and perhaps its most unconventional.

In this episode, we discuss who Tsui Hark is, why Sparks dedicated a track to him, the song's hypnotic atmosphere, and whether it works better as a musical interlude than a traditional song. We also revisit a wonderfully odd 1995 TV performance featuring Ron Mael enthusiastically lip-syncing the spoken-word parts—an unforgettable piece of Sparks history.
