Terminal Jive is the ninth album by the American rock band Sparks and the second recorded with Giorgio Moroder.

The album has a disco-vibe like its predecessor but featured fewer synthesizers, opting instead for more electric rock guitar, resulting in a new wave sound.

Sparks scored a hit single in France with "When I'm with You", which led to them staying in the country for a year promoting the album.

"Young Girls" was released with an extended remix on 12", an edited version on the 7" single, and backed with "Just Because You Love Me".

The album's artwork features various poses of the Mael brothers in odd postures in and around Hamleys toy store in Regent Street, London.
