Michael

Written by Alex Kapranos and Nick McCarthy, this fourth single from Franz Ferdinand's debut album was released on 16 August 2004 and became notable for its homoerotic lyrics including "stubble on my sticky lips" and "beautiful boys on a beautiful dancefloor." The single peaked at number 17 on the UK Singles Chart, and its second CD format was pulled from stores a day after release due to chart ineligibility before being re-released with fewer tracks.
