Sparks - You've Earned The Right To Be A Dick Lyrics

i think I just found a new personal theme song.

Love this and Dick Around!

Its a song that always reminds you those who earned the right to be a Dick!

This song is awesome. Surprised to hear all the negativity in the comments. I happened upon this song after being a dick to someone righteously, but then this song made me rethink my actions. Maybe that's why I like it

I dedicate this song to all idiots of leaders in countries around the world.
Who thinks they are the best, and everyone else is gonna shut up.
None mentioned None forgotten.

to be a DICK Powell...Id adore all the BUSBY BERKELEY musical movies

Song sounds forced, and negative. I'm glad they left it off the album.

My sister just sent this to me and told me it should be my new anthem :-)))

Your sister must love you very much!! 😆

Typical sparks ... moments of brilliance followed by shit like this!!! So disappointing

Can’t wait to order this tomorrow!

Two listeners have not earned their right to be a d ...

Oh fucking brilliant!

This sums it up! Love this one. I've followed this band since 1972 and Sparks is still turning out quality songs. Compliments to the Chefs !!!

They’ve earned the right to be in the HOF.

I love them!

Love this track. Has to be about Trump.

the inevitable 'Trump' reference. Feel better now?

oshawaxpress Sparks have always liked their metaphors. They even wrote a song all about them called, guess what.....'metaphors' . They are very clever with their metaphors. I think on this occasion they have definitely got it right. I do feel much better now I've informed you of the fact.

Actually, it's about Lou Reed

Yawn.... Insert political comment here. You haven't earned the right to be a dick, but keep working at it m

Sparks are outstanding. It shows how good hippopotamus is to make this song a bonus cut.

I cannot stop laughing to this song! I only found it for the first time last night and have to listen it again and again... Should have been included in the album. Alternatively they could have splitted Hippopotamus into two albums, due to numerous songs, and publish them withinone year, like they did in 1974. They have definitely found the same inspiration like they had 1974-1975, great!

The harmonies in the chorus kind of remind me of The Left Banke's "She May Call You Up Tonight."

Everything reminds everybody of something else

Yup. The opening of The Damned’s “Life Goes On” vs. Nirvana’s “Come As You Are.”

Why oh why is this not on Hippopotamus? Please play this when you're in LA this Month.

Anyone know where to buy this one?

just found this and read the comments, it's a bonus song? completely album worthy

Same, and so much more true, for "Checkout Time 11am."

Great track but I do think the Hippopotamus allbum ends perfectly with Life With The Macbeth's.

gen·ius

Pleasant enough pop ditty-but Sparks needn't do that kind of stuff.Maybe Thats why it's a bonus track.

Oh man, I really like this one. They should've added it to the album instead of demoting it to a bonus track. What a bunch of dicks, am I right? 😂

Love Sparks

thanks for uploading this :D only got the standard UK version, can kinda see why it isn't on the album but it's still a nice song!

Well, considering the BBC Banned "Dick Around" just for its title without even listening to it...

Fuck the police & the BBC!

Dean Craig Rogers yeah , I can't stand , Sting

WOW! One of their very best songs of the new series, really authentic "rock and baroque" Sparks from top to toe! It"s a pity that this song is only classified as a bonus track. There's even some hit potential in it. Hope they'll perform it live frequently!

Someday they'll earn the right to play it live . Agree with the damn potential hit !!
Have a good day !

Hope they do this one in Edinburgh, brilliant track & one we can all relate to !!.

Where is this from? Not Hippopotamus..?

Bonus song for Japan

there is some stupid legal law in japan , that releases in japan must contain extra tracks that are not on the non-japan release of albums

Cool song. Sparks humor is so unique. Killer drums here too.

big mood
