Terminal Jive is the ninth studio 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. The album was produced by Moroder and Harold Faltermeyer, the latter of whom is claimed to have produced the majority of the album.
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.
