I've been watching this for two years for obvious reasons *cough* David Tennant *cough* And now I'm starting to doubt if David was actually playing.. OH WELL YOU'RE STILL AASDHFGDSGYUW GORGEOUS!
Stupid Top of the Pops. They for decades have made everybody perform synch. I mean live vocals are cool and is definitely a step up, but come on, these guys have proven themselves time and time again they can do all their stuff live without a hitch. Fuckers.
It was THIS video and this video alone that got me into Franz Ferdinand. The first time I watched this, I was here for David Tennant. Now Im watching it again for both David AND Alex. ♥
Also, is it me or did the bit where David tells Reggie Yates not to sing 'Doctor Who' really reminiscent of the start of the Season 2 episode 'Tooth and Claw' where he tells Rose not to speak in a Scottish accent :)
David Tennant really should guest with Muse sometime and, on that note, when TOTP asked Franz to lip sync this, maybe they should've done what Muse do and either swap instruments or just go mental and bundle at the end of the performance XD
sometimes. when i think someone i love is making an idiot of themselves, i purposely skip it so not to embarrass them more. i feel bad then if i watch them making a dick of themselves
@mariah992 No. Their live shows are always 100% live. When you see them live, it's pretty obvious they're actually playing. This television thing is an exception. Top of the Pops is notorious for making bands do it.
I loved David Tennant when performing with one of my favourite bands of all time. David is Scottish and the leader of Franz Ferdinand is Scottish as well as fit - Alex Kapranos!! They are both good looking! Love both of them!
David Tennant and Alex Kapranos on the same stage = SKINNY SCOTTISH GUY SEX GOD OVERLOOOOAAADDD!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGHHHH I love them both so much!
Reasons I love this: 1. Leo Jones (ok...Reggie Yates) 2. Noel Fielding. 3. Franz Ferdinand. 4. Fantastic song. 5. Bob with a Red Nose 6. Alex looking sexy (as per) 7. Alex winking at the camera 8. Smiley Alex. 9. Smiley Nick. 10. Nick waggling a finger at the crowd while singing. 11. Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders in the crowd. 12. Paul looking pretty at the back. 13. UNEXPECTED DANCING DAVID! 14. David Tennant making a complete arse out of himself but no-one caring. 15. DT's outfit.
That is the sole reason why this is one of my favorite songs. And have you noticed in almost all of the doctor who clip shows out there featuring David Tennant play this song at one point? Also, I love the way theyre all deadly serious and hes just dancing about and they completely ignore him lol!!
when i watched this on comic relief night.....the thing that first popped into my head when david came on stage was..."WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!! oh my god!!!oh my god!!! oh my god!!! what the helll......it was like a bomb just went off in my head lol it was soo funny, cool and just plain "yep something had to happen" kind of thing
Agreed- it might be the suit, swaggering and high kick- that's pretty much what Matt goes for- still to combine the two is awesome- best actor and musician in the land :)
This lot make me want to be Scottish. SO MUCH. (I know two of them are English. Shush :P) But seriously, David and Alex give Scottish guys such a good name xD
This song is so bloody catchy! I've had it stuck in my head since I saw this was on TV now I'm obsessed with it. Just about to order it now. Love David here :) So cool. X

omg omg d.t is so multi talented he can play guitar and be so sexy and he acts did i mention he is so sexy aaaa everytime he is on tv as dr who i go all sweaty and my parents watch mee
David Tennant and Franz Ferdinand on the same stage absolutely blows my mind! Oh man, those boys will never know how they make this girl feel right now ;D
franz ferdinand is the sexiest band ever + DT- sexiest man ever on the same stage, i died when i saw this! slightly embarrassing as my parents were in the room :P
DT was on radio one earlier and he said he had lifelong dreams to be on TOTP and to play guitar with Franz Ferdinand, and that he was really playing it. He also said his suit wasn't specially made...so you can buy it from somewhere. He's so funny. I'm going to miss him not being the Doctor.
Alex sings great in this one!... They're coming to the Hove Festival in Norway this summer, and they're the band I'm longing to see live the most (of bands I haven't seen yet).
Can I have him, please? xD
