Everyone knows that Jane Wiedlin sang with Sparks on "Cool Places", but what other song(s) did she sing on with them?

None of the LP or CD issues refer to her in Popularity, nor I remember a female voice there//////////

It's the only one I know by them together. But both had decent solo tunes. I enjoyed Jane Wiedlin's "Blue Kiss."

There's a whole section on Jane and Sparks in the doc The Sparks Brothers

She did two songs as a duet with Russell for the In Outer Space record.

She did appear with them on American Bandstand and did many live shows with them for that tour.

I saw them in 1983 on that tour and she came out and did both Cool Places and Lucky Me Lucky You at the Anaheim Convention Center.
She came out for the encore as back up for Upstairs.

Here is a clip I found on You Tube from one those shows on that tour for that year performing Cool Places
