[cupcakefllower]

[gerbenfeenstra]

This song is about the murder of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of austria. This was essentially the start of WO1

[MsMisfits7]

Gavrilo Princip! <3 <3 <3

[SaucerUFO]

what album is this from?

[whalerofthemoon]

@SaucerUFO I think it is from their first album, they released it with bonus CD, so this song was on the second one. Actually that version is a bit different than this.

[Lutetia720]

This one's got some sexy drums.

[leoallnutt]

5 people have been shot.................

[sourpatchBALLS]

Gavrilo Princips 2 bullets, inadvertently caused the deaths of 71,000,000-81,000,000 people.

Wow

[Mmichaalek]

Today in Sarajevo 97 years ago!

[NevenSalom]

@Mmichaalek Huh?

[Mmichaalek]

@NevenSalom Oh, I wrote it on 28 June, the day when Gavrilo Princip shot Franz Ferdinand.

[NevenSalom]

@Mmichaalek Oh! I understand! I'm from Sarajevo, haha!

[Mmichaalek]

@NevenSalom I heard Sarajevo is a great city, so I'm planning a trip to Bosnia next year.

[NevenSalom]

@Mmichaalek I was born there, and came here to London, England, UK, when I was under 1 years old, because of the Bosnian War. I speak Bosnian fluently. I have only been there on holiday once, visiting family, it was amazing, I recommend it! I visited Croatia too, it's amazing too, I visited a city called Dubrovnik, which is a big tourist location on the seaside, I'm not so much for the tourists, but the location is beautiful, but most of Bosnia and Croatia is beautiful anyway! So, yeah... Haha!

[Jellybeancp]

I heard this today in my Reading class, and started crying cause it was so funny and sounded weird! xD but I cant stop listening to it

[sassmaster422]

Omg, we heard this song in Social Studies since we're doing WWI!!!!!!!! It's been stuck in my head all day!

[TechSgtAdamsWrecks]

@sassmaster422 LOL me tooooo

[MrSkantron]

<3 Anarchy, Black Hand, Gavrilo Princip

[alphonce666]

@MrSkantron Queer

[kidmikey9]

@MrSkantron

Faggot

[MrSkantron]

@kidmikey9 Calling a straight person gay does have an inverse property; you aren't going to be considered straight for doing that.

[belizar1988]

Nobel peace prize isn't valid argument for nothing.

[OptionalFish]

What's Apple Quay?

[GottaLoveShowbiz]

@OptionalFish Its the main road that Franz Ferdinand was driving down

[laumedusin95]

antes no me gustaba pero ahora me encanta!

[belizar1988]

Anyway, i love this band, but don't like their name :P

[belizar1988]

In 1878 people of Bosnia wanted to unify with Serbia, Austria prevented this. People were unhappy and Gavrilo is the result... It's pretty much like Hitler's or modern USA invasions. Why should Bosnia be ruled from Wiena ?? From Germans ??

[belizar1988]

Assasination is the trigger but not the cause. After the event Austria handed Sebia ultimatum with 10 things to do. Serbia rejected only one and it was enough for Austria to declare war. Can you see the paradox? Why would Serbia, small balkan country wanted the war with a mighty european empire? Turks and Austrians are the cause for all problems Balkan face, they divided us. In the same way as France and England are to blame for the modern problems of their ex african and asian colonies.

[CaptainElli]

My History teacher always used to put really cool songs on when he was doing Powerpoints for our class. For the Sparticists revolt we had I Predict A Riot, for the Reichstag fire we had We Didn't Start The Fire and for Bloody Sunday we had (can you guess?) Sunday Bloody Sunday :P

guess what I just sent him for the cause of WW1? :D

[AshwannaLove]

We listened to this in my AP European class. It was in my head for like 2 weeks!

[KyleJS30]

This song is about the guy they named their band after.. its so bad ass they made it like a bonus.

[audiotronic86]

definitely one of the best FF-song! what a pitty that it is only a b-side...

[mtgowns1]

Is this in any of their LP's?

[TheWitcherFanboy]

Im actually from Serbia, the country Gavrilo Princip was born in :D

We have streets named after the man! XD

[xREVIEx]

@TheWitcherFanboy Is that something to be proud of?

[cedomir92]

@xREVIEx yes it is .

[CcPlawkz]

@TheWitcherFanboy Gavrilo fought for freedom. the serbs in bosnia were being treated like scums and they needed to unite with serbia (theres was 2 million of them at the time) what gavrilo did was brave and the LEAST we serbs could do was name a street after him

[ss90ss444]

@CcPlawkz

That is a dirty lie! Duke wanted to give autonomy to the serbs in Bosnia. Treated like scum? Compared to Ottoman Empire, I would say serbs were treated like royalty.

[cedomir92]

@ss90ss444 epic LOL moron dont say anything more you clearly dont know history........royalty peh man we were slaves so shut up

[ss90ss444]

@TheWitcherFanboy

Considering what happend in the 1990s, I am not surprised. Cry about Ustashe you fucking morons but at the same time worship killers like Princip and Milosevic.

[belizar1988]

@ss90ss444

Are you Marti Ahtissari, you f*ckin nazi ?? lol

[xxLINNEAxxD]

@belizar1988 okey I don't really know what you guys are talking about but why are you saying that Martti Ahtisaari is a nazi? he got the f*cking nobel price for peace and you call him a nazi?

[belizar1988]

@xxLINNEAxxD

Obama won it too.. why? This year it went not for someone(officialy yes, liu xiaobo) but practically against China. Nobel peace prize is western political instrument.

[xxLINNEAxxD]

@belizar1988 That's not an answer at all.. But do you mean that everybody that has won the nobel price for peace are nazis? And you can't be against China? ahh you annoy me.. ;P

[belizar1988]

@xxLINNEAxxD

ss99ss444 made some pretty nasty parallels between Gavrilo Princip and ustaša movement (if you don't know who they are, google) and Milošević. Pretty chauvinistic comment in my opinion. So I opened his profile and saw that he's from Finland... and knowing that Ahtisaari share similar opinion about Serbs (and is also from Finland) I tried to make a kvazi joke....which obviosly didn't work... ;)... And of course you can be against China if you have objective arguments, but for me...

[xxLINNEAxxD]

@belizar1988 Okey? I'm also from Finland... ah but anyway I'll never get politics.. ;)

[belizar1988]

@xxLINNEAxxD

OK ;) And don't get me wrong, I have nothing against finish people.

[xxLINNEAxxD]

@belizar1988 Good =0)

[iluvpurple911]

i <3 this song

helped me study for my history test :P

[MajaKanin]

i haven't heard this song in ages! it's really good.

[katelovespikachu]

I don't understand why Franz Ferdinand sing Sophia when her name is Sophie :/

[Amplitudedude101]

According to Wikipedia, it says " It just has a better ring"

[nukiito]

im wondering that there are things what are the truth, lol

[NyPk92]

Because the name is Sofia....

[mygothic]

@katelovespikachu Her name was Sophia, not Sophie. (probably even Sofija).

[father042]

genial

[ike65ep]

its a cool song for the start of WWI you idiot, god....

[TheWitcherFanboy]

Well,you know,1 and 2 are really close...mistake maybe?

[hlanaayes]

Lol I'm pretty sure it's a metaphor for something less specific than the incident that led to the outbreak of WW1.

[FreakaZoidInatorTron]

what a cool song for for the start of ww2

[yellowpanda64]

WWI

[Trundleiser]

It was by luck that Franz Ferdinand was killed the driver of the car went the wrong way and a member of the black hand gang was there just walking by took his chance and killed him. BANG BANG!!!!!!!!!!

[katelovespikachu]

@Trundleiser actually, they were there TO kill him, not walking by. But it was luck the driver went the wrong way.

[Amplitudedude101]

But a member who was on look-out heard the commotion and decided to check the scene, crossing pathways with Franz and then, obviously, taking the chance to shoot him.

[whuaaaa]

Gavrilo Princip assassinated Franz Ferdinand. Soph was Franz Ferdinand's wife. Princip shot at Ferdinand and his wife Sophie several times both of them died after their arrival to the governor's residence. this virtually started world war 1.

[MultiPolo123]

Only two bullets

[neinichbinnurdername]

what is the meaning of "the first six are for you" in the lyrics?

[kougafan9989]

There were 7 men set up to shoot him. Only one actually hit the target. If I can recall correctly.

[fuckyourselfalone]

oh, all for me? lol

[NoNameIsOn]

Hehe it is good

[zenlee11]

i'm pretty sure the songs called 'all for you sophia'

[HarryBum95]

some fans call it bang bang b/c thats the majority of the song. so its either one

[GenLodA]

[amboncuyy]

[xUchihaSaskex]
