I've been puzzled by this song since I first heard it 38 years ago. Of course, it's a Sparks song and they sure are quirky. What I know is this starts off Indiscreet, the last of 3 albums they recorded in England before returning to native LA. Bonus tracks on the Indiscreet CD include a snarky song about England and a a questionably serious cover of I Wanna Hold Your Hand. This song, I think, is a bit of a snipe against the English, serving up their musical art mostly for the American customer. .
