Pulling rabbits out of a hat sparks
Pulling Rabbits Out of a Hat is the thirteenth studio album by American rock band Sparks. It was originally released in June 1984, on the label Atlantic. It was not very well received and failed to capitalise on the commercial success of their 1983 album In Outer Space. The album developed the light synthpop sound of In Outer Space but with slightly darker lyrics revolving around Ron Mael's favourite subject matter: relationships.
