>The song is really called "Gimme Cigarette", I was "Marc Question"
>(Keyboard / Mellotron player - actually a modified Chamberlain) on that
>1978 release (1976 or 1977 recording). Lonny Carlysle was actually Philo
>Cramer, who went on to join LA punk band FEAR later that year.
>There was never any intention to fool anyone - I just heard about this
>misunderstanding myself, and I am ...quite amused, actually. We were,
>and are, major Sparks fans, obviously. If you check my blog I think I
>even posted links in a couple of entries.
>Some interesting connections though - Philo graduated from UCLA (I think
>there is a UCLA connection to Sparks) and in 1977 I was in a band called
>The Late Show featuring Chris Silagyi, who went on to join 20/20 which
>included some original Sparks members.
>I would be very interested to hear where this all started. I am sure
>Philo will consider this a compliment, to have actually been mistaken by
>some folks as being Msr Mael. If anyone is still interested, you will be
>able to obtain copies of the original song (which sounds a little
>different than the version on my site) and the flip side, Oh!Oh!Oh! from
>S-S Records later this year.
