Sparky's Dream

Love wrote and sings it. The single came out on May 22, 1995 on Creation, with "Try and Stop Me", "That's All I Need to Know" and "Who Loves the Sun" on the B-sides, and reached 40 in the UK. Blake suggested the title during demos for no particular reason; Love told a fan-site operator in 1995 it seemed like a good title because it was kind of dumb. Variety's Troy Augusto called it hypnotically sweet, PopMatters ranked it the band's best song, and Pitchfork named it among their greatest. Wikipedia's album page calls it the second single, after "Mellow Doubt"; the song page calls it the lead single, and the release dates support the former. It runs 3:15 as a single and 3:17 on the album. We found no covers or samples.
