With All My Might (Sparks song)

"With All My Might" is a song by American pop and rock duo Sparks, which was released in 1984 as the lead single from their thirteenth studio album Pulling Rabbits Out of a Hat (1984).

In a 1990 interview with Ira Robbins, Russell Mael said of the song, "We thought this could have been really successful commercially, but for whatever reasons it didn't get played a lot.

Before "With All My Might" was settled on as the album's first single, the Mael brothers had already decided that their next video would feature them horse riding, regardless of the song.

He added, "We also used a snorkel lens, functioning as a periscope, [which] allows you to bring the camera right down to the level of the miniature set that you want to shoot from.
