  • this song makes me SO FUCKING HORNY

    WHYY

  • Nick's guitar sounds sick in this.

  • 0:21 "We kick ass"

  • Take this into consideration. Beatles started as a pop band, and then they started to make more experimenting stuff becoming more underground. I would say it's nearly the same with FF. At least if you look at their early stuff, and then compare it to their new stuff.

  • ich liebe dieses lied

  • Too bad this song is probably about giving head... Still love it

    Side Note: I never noticed how similar these lyrics are to "Kiss Me Katherine" until I listened to them back to back....

  • By far my favorite band of all time.

  • they are not "beatles today", they are Franz Ferdinand

  • lol i love their randomness. so fucking awesome.

  • bob has a nice SG bass :)

  • Peeps be missing the point of music, so you don't like the J Bros, why waste any second of your life dedicating any thought to them? to hate something is to actively dislike it, if you hate something you're overthinking it. d:

  • Please don't insult Franz Ferdinand by relating them to The Beatles in any way. I am not a fan of The Beatles at all. But, I am a fan of Franz Ferdinand. Yes, I realize a lot of people in the world are Beatles lovers, but not everything has to relate to The Beatles and their millions of baby boomer fans. The Beatles didn't create music.

  • @thedt Probably one of the most stupid comments on YouTube. Anyway, great video.

  • I LOVE Alex's socks.

  • there's such a cool vibe to all these studio versions

  • the chorus is false a bit

    anyway It's a great version

  • @Crazygranat why is it false? Can there be a "false" when the band that wrote the song plays it?

  • This is simply wonderful :D

  • LOVE FROM EGYPT

  • Bobs Gibson bass. it's the cherry/black one. OMB. awesomeness.

  • Comment removed

  • awesome!!!!

  • Tonight is a lot better than you could have it so much better

  • Sensational

  • hehehe coool :P

  • Marvelous !Perfect !

  • I hope this band became the ''New Beatles'' most of my hope goes to them.

  • If ANY band is to be called "todays beatles" or beatles anything its Franz Ferdinand Jonas bros can rot in hell yea tweens are gonna thumb me down but i dont care Franz ferdinand is pure skill unlike those other fags

    Rock on guys

  • yeah but i think "You could have it so much better was more like The Beatles greatest Hits album. The whole album was so good. The new album is a little weird, its almost like they were trying to make a hit album and not playing a hit album. You know what im saying.

    I guesse im saying that the new album is not the the same as the first two.

  • have you even heard the beatles?

  • im not saying it souded like the beatles i meanthe way how good all the songs were

  • I agree it was a good album i bought it in the first couple days when it came out. The difference is that beatles albums were classics and you could have it so much better is mainly forgotten. This doesn't make it bad it is good but it does not compare

  • I'd rather so as well (in comparison to Jonas and Franz), but the thing is that I don't think they should be known as "new Beatles" at all. If that's the case, they're just simply copycats. You can tell they're inspired, but thank god they don't sound like them. That's what makes them good; they don't copy the sound.

  • Well, To me The Beatles and Franz Ferdinand are two different bands that are good in their own ways.

    But comparing the Beatles and Franz Ferdinand is like comparing Cake to Pizza; there both good sure, but would you want them both at the same time?

    Sadly, the Jonas Brothers will be the one's most remembered as the 'new beatles'.

    Fate's a cruel mistress yes?

  • @Reelbigearth I prefer pizza... XD I'm just kidding, I agree with you... ¬¬  Fuck jonas brothers

  • @AllanGrim

    It's not that I HATE the Jonas Brothers...they are a different band altogether, and my tastes are different.

    While Jonas Brothers has a strong marketing, Franz Ferdinand is ...zilch.

    Well...at least their better than Tuesday Weld....THAT is a band who is sadly never even mentoned! I literally cry when someone says"who" to Real Tuesday Weld.

  • @Reelbigearth @Reelbigearth Who?.................Nah I'm kidding XD The Real Tuesday Weld is really nice, I'm not sure about the name but I like some of their songs :D

    Well I don't really hate them (Jonas Brothers), Its just that I'm tired about the teens and little girls that loves them, and dont care about better bands.

  • @BeamKatana im a teen and i agree, n also i hate jonas brothers, here come the thumb downs

  • @Boffay Are you kidding? here is a thumb up for you :D

  • @BeamKatana true true :)

  • @BeamKatana man, it's just fine to put The Beattles and Franz Ferdinand in the same sentence, but adding something like Jonas Brothers into the equation just felt like taking a hat out of a bunny. All in all you're right, but you just can't compare a shitpop band to rock legends

  • @BeamKatana More like the coral is todays beatles.

  • @BeamKatana You won't. Any fans of the Jonas Brothers wouldn't come within a million miles of a song as awsome as this.

  • @BeamKatana pure skill??? yeah they are good but..come on! there are band that are FAR more creative, less repetitive, more rich of sound and not that commercial. Maybe you should start listening to some minor internet radio's for a change.

  • this is Franz Ferdinand ur listening to u dumb fuck

  • irrelevence of a band that in my opinion r a failure isn't really appropriate for a ff discussion

  • who the fuck is talking about the Jonas Brothers when they should be listening to Franz Ferdinand??

  • Why is a discussion of the Jonas Brothers happening in a thread for a Franz Ferdinand video? Isn't that like debating the merits a Big Mac at a steakhouse?

  • very true. how about some more talk about the cool band we're listening to now. and how this song is so awesome :]

  • you've right.

    btw I HATE JONAS BROTHERS.

  • ILS SONT TROP CLASSE !!!

  • dude. the jobros aren't even worthy to be in the same sentence with the the beatles.

    franzzz <3

  • Those are some nice socks, Alex. XD

  • brilliant

  • Comment removed

  • when people compare the jonas brothers as the beatles of today rages me so much; i mean, franz ferdinand is more worthy to hold the title as the beatles of today >_> just saying.

  • Franz Ferdinand is great but Beatles are overwhelming....

  • i will slap the nxt person that says the jonas brothers are worthy of anything!!! raaar D:<

  • lets do it together ;D

  • you know why people say the Jboys are called "today's Beatles"? Cause they're massively accepted by the Music-listening world. The young girls scream when they hear them, just like the Beatles. They're music is nothing near the caliber of the Fab Four, but that's where the saying comes from. I hate them just as much as the next normal person with their own sense of music.

  • yeah i know that fangirl thing with the jonas brothers but it feels so degrading to say that. feels like music just went a level down when i hear that.

  • yeah, I hate it too. I think if they left Disney and weren't confined to writing bubbly gum pop songs for all the little girls to like they might actually be a decent band.

  • EDIT: "Their music is..."

  • @Anon060 everybody who even dares to mention the beatles and these unoriginal lambs of commerce in the same sentence deserves to be shot in the face :)

  • i love this version. both are amazing :)

  • Favorite version!!!

  • lovely version (L)

  • wow, fantastic version of this song!!!

    nice change to see them sitting and playing calmly, rather than jumping around onstage to perform for a massive crowd.

    although i love them both ways :D

  • Boys got good taste in socks.

  • Bob looks like, that he's drunk. :D

    but I love him. <3

  • crema viejito

  • Oh I love this song soooo much! Best one off the album!

    P.S. Sexy socks, Alex!!

  • i think those socks are sleeping socks. :D

    but it is very sexy. :)

  • i love this band so muchh

    and this is so awsome i dont know what better! there both so amzing!

  • Ha ha, playing on stairs, how random. I like this song :)

  • im loving his socks xD

    sexy song too

  • Thanks sooo much for this. 8-] I appreciate both versions - acoustic and the one on the CD (sez the proud owner :)).

  • I agree with dashanabk2! love it! feel like I'm back in Edinburgh again!

  • This is just...sex worthy.

  • this acoustic version is beter then original!!

  • It's so much better than the video version :D

  • I love you all. You're simply brilliant and so talented.

  • you know, it would be super cool if franz ferdinand hopped on a plane, crossed the atlantic, and then hustled it over to the west coast down here to San Diego, because i'd pay a lot to see them play, and everyone always skips San Diego to play in LA.

    :)

    much love from socal.

  • oh wait...they are coming!

    siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick.

  • nice style, music and talend. this band is great.

  • i love tune!

  • I've been In Love with Alex since June 2004 *is sad fucker*

  • me gusta mucho esta cancion

    esta padre!!!!!

  • this song is amazing, but "girls" and "boys" should be exchanged in the lyrics =]

  • This video is way better than the official one!

  • You're so right! I love this one! :D

  • yup. one of his parents is greek, thats why his name is kapranos.

    just amazing and, well, amazing. I was at their show last night. I never heard such a great live performance!

  • I think one of his parents is russian? He had a dual nationality passport.

  • you ≠ Alex Kapranos

  • Seconded!

  • cool

  • yeah his dad is full greek I think... with a name like kapranos it's not that hard to figure out though haha

  • Comment removed

  • lol they have chicken legs! but the cool socks make up for it... i guess.....

  • this is the recorded version..

    every song on their new album is recorded in a different room of an old castle. that is why every song on the album had a different sound :) I saw a documentury of the recording on bbc :D

    they're great :)

  • actually it wasnt a castle, it was an old town hall

    and not every song was recorded in a different room

  • it's almost same as origin song

  • just awsome

  • best lyrics ever

  • the lyrics r awesome.

  • this is, like, my favourite song by franz ferdinand =P

    lol my mum thinks he is well phitt

  • Well, technically Franz Ferdinand is the name of the band as a whole, not just one person in the band. But I guess your Mom likes the lead singer Alex Kapranos? Hm, very understandable =]

  • Sounds Greek :S

    Is Alex Kapranos of greek origin? Does anyone know?

  • he is actually.

    well, his dad is Greek...

  • LOVE THIS SONG!!!

  • FF thinks they're super cool <<
