022: Sparks - Introducing Sparks (1977) - Goofing Off

In this episode, we dive into “Goofing Off,” the sixth track from Introducing Sparks from 1977. Opening with a Cossack-style fiddle and an accelerating tempo, this track is a playful detour from the rest of the album’s polished pop sound. It’s bold, unexpected, and full of character—and the panel is all for it. A refreshing left turn that injects some much-needed quirkiness into the record.
