    A really strange video by Mr. Peckinpah

    I really don't know what on earth this was all about. I never heard about the duo Sparks, just went along after a small research of Sam Peckinpah's credits on the website and this clip popped in as being his very first music video credit before directing two videos for Julian Lennon in the 1980's. So, the master of classics "The Wild Bunch" and "Straw Dogs" creates with Sparks a very unusual music video of a man wearing a monster mask trying to get the attention of three lovely girls who keep playing in this countryside farm, and then another man appears but he's there just to sing "Funny Face". I couldn't make a wider interpretation of facts on this thing but I was intrigued through the whole thing, the song is strangely funny but everything is corny as hell. For those more daring in seeing bizarre experiences, this is a must-see. 6/10.
