   I am says Great track though, Whats that thin guitar part? Is that the end or something else? Do you have any Plasmatics?

   dachmo says **misstee** wow, that surprises me. I think they're a real find. **I Am** no plasmatics here and that is just an odd tack on to the song, I don't see how it fits entirely either.

   goodmusiconly says perhaps, perhaps, perhaps... (thanks, cake) "You're gonna eat a bowl of chow mein And be hungry real soon" hahahaha ... gotta love the thinly veiled metaphors.

   Bartleby says The Sparks make for a palatable meal of chow mein as goodmusic so aptly said. Dach, ignorance is bliss - if you only know Louis XIV and never heard of the Sparks (or this particular track), to you they'll be the real thing. (What's the difference between Doppelgängers and Dead-ringers?)

   dachmo says I was just remarking, I wasn't planning on blowing the lid off the industry. Upon repeated listenings I can't even hear much of the original similarities I first heard, there is a bit but... _(What's the difference between Doppelgängers and Dead-ringers?)_ Is this a joke or a serious question? I'd love to hear the punchline if there is one.

   Anna says You are right on money, D. What stops me from liking Louis XIV a lot are their lyrics. They always sound sexist to me.

    Bartleby says No puns on the Doppelgängers and Dead-ringers, just a matter of national preference...

    dachmo says If you asked the average American to come up with a definition for either you'd probably get a lot of blank stares. But I would think the term dead-ringer is more widely known. Honestly, both expressions get used just as often, if at all.
