This song is definitely homoerotic.

Franz Ferdinand will be releasing their song "Michael" as a single on August 16th in the United Kingdom. Watch the e-card (http://www.dominorecordco.com/michael_ecard/). There are some cool b-sides on it, if you're into the band.

i'm pretty sure it's only a single in the uk though. they're re-recording "this fire" and releasing that as their next U.S. single. i think they may have already began (or even finished) filming the video for it, too.

Yes, it does.

"Michael you're the only boy I'll ever want."

but this song is about an actual guy they know named michael. he's in the video, too.

i've become such a franz ferdinand nerd...

i dunno why, this is my least favorite song on the cd, and i usually either skip it or just dont pay attention.

I heard they were going to be re-recording Michael with handclaps and cowbell, and make it dancier too. It doesn't sound like it from the ecard though.

i put my pants on one leg at a time just like everybody else, except when i do it i make gold records

[ragdoll_becki]

I'm from Europe (Scotland) and Michael is definately not a girl's name there...i think you're thinking of in Germany or something.
