You finally reminded me. I knew that Mike Patton had done something worthwhile in his music career, and your Sparks post just jogged my memory. Somewhere in the mid-90's Sparks feat. Mr. Patton, and his then band Faith No More rerecorded "This Town Ain't Big Enough For Both of Us," & "Something For the Girl With Everything" as duets. And they FAWKING rocked!
Thanx Ari for that trip a-down memory lane!

Every time they use a shot of Ron, the video is worth the lipsyncing. And the lipsyncing wouldn't bother me, except he's kind of bad at it.
