Oh, goodie, it’s top ten time. Back to obscurity! 
The month of July has been focused on songs from 1982, and now we’ve reached the place where I list my ten favorites from 40 years ago. You won’t know some of these as well as the “big hits,” but you might find a new song you like and wonder, “wow, how did I miss that?” (Answer: they were still playing things off the Michael Jackson album. ) Into the top ten we go!
#10: Mickey Mouse - Sparks
Who’s the brother combination that’s as funny as can be?
R-O-N, R-U-S, S-E-L-L MAEL!
Oh, wait.
One of my favorite album titles (Angst in My Pants) by one of my favorite funtime bands. I’m just surprised the mega-ego mouse company hasn’t tried to buy this song or issue a cease-and-desist order on them. 
They’d better not. I love this song.
Mickey Mouse
Written by Ron and Russell Mael
Recorded by Sparks
From Angst in My Pants, 1982
(Today’s 1972 song: “Do It Again”)
Basically everything is easy:

That’s what caught me with this song: “We own a little place in Disneyland, California.” Then when I actually went to Disneyland I saw how much smaller it was in comparison to Disney World (and this was 1983, mind you)
Sparks is a lot of fun.

@much2say — when I first went there (D World) in 1974 it was great. You could see everything in one day. Now, most of central Florida is considered a suburb of D World.

I remember this song being on the burned CD from one of our trips to Dinsey.
Lol.

How cool! I’m glad to see that some people remember Sparks (other than “Cool Places,” their “big hit”)!!

@FourWalls I don't think I know that song, but it might just be because I don't recognize the name.

Sparks is one of those bands you have to go looking for to listen to.

Hmm. Guess I’ll have to go back to the country music, then.

My apologies in advance that I cannot respond to this post and this song as I am currently looking for the roof door, in which I will access the roof and then access the ground with no intention of requesting a ladder to aid in my descent...

Oh, just wait until you see what 1972 brings you! 
Sparks’ biggest hit was “Cool Places,” a duet with Jane Wiedlin of the Go-Go’s.
