I remembered why like these guys. They're all smart mofos. This song is a Socratic and J. Christ-y all at once. An attack on religious hypocrisy and the herd instinct of humans. ACE!
They Are NOT gay r.r! and even id=f they were who cares they are the best! just like Freddie Mercury was and people only care about whether they are gay or not ... >.>
when I heard the guitar riff I thought that it was a song from the 60's like pink floyd but it's franz ferdinand !!!! great riff, great song, great band !!!
I really disagree. The songs are very surreal, and most of them are excellent, but very few of them are far from gay.
What causes more distress for those who worry about such things is the fact that most of the love songs are ambiguous about gender, while "Michael" was very explicite about it.
I'm not knocking the tunes, but it's pretty easy to imagine a lot of Franz Ferdinand songs as "gay."
franz ferdinand isn't 10 times better than oasis. Oasis is so much better than franz ferdinand!! I also like Franz F but i'm pretty sure Oasis is better
This rating system is for disagreeing and agreeing with opinions. Getting -8 pretty much means no one is really going to agree with him here. I like Franz Ferdinand more than Oasis to be honest anyway :P More...modern?
im pretty sure both bands had a hit recently. oasis had the shock of the lightning and franz just released a song which im sure will be huge like there other songs.
talent and quality are not measured by number of hits...thats just a measuring stick of how many people are paid to promote a song and convince us thats it's a good song
well no matter how much money u pay me, nothing can convince me that oasis is talented. noel is a stuck up bitch, he needs to stop thinking hes god and write something as good as whats the story morning glory.
Oh, amazing video! One of my favourite bands! =)
