On this episode, we swing into Tarzan and Jane, one of the true deep cuts on Angst in My Pants. The band shifts into a lurching, jungle-stomp groove with a rhythmic pulse that hints at post-punk, new-romantic textures, and even a touch of Adam & the Ants swagger. Beneath the swirling synths and shuffling drums lies a Sparks rarity: a third-person snapshot, turning a chaotic classroom into a mini short story.

We discuss the song’s off-kilter funk, the strange little details hiding in the arrangement, why this track grew on us over time, and why—despite being the least-played song on the album—it still brings something distinctive to Side B.
