Are other Graham Parker records from around that time too obvious? I still have a special fondness for "Stick To Me."

All of these are good recommendations, thanks! Oilyrags, I heard Stick To Me years ago and it didn't really resonate, but then again, Squeezing Out Sparks didn't back then either! Will re-investigate...

I like to imagine Parker performing "You Can't Be Too Strong" solo at Disneyland or some similar place. When he sings:
The doctor gets nervousCompleting the serviceHe's all rubber gloves and no head
...suddenly a dancer outfitted as a giant headless rubber glove appears behind him doing dance moves. Perhaps they are on skates, or roller-blades.
