Franz Ferdinand: *writes this song*
Historians: They were roommates
Oh my god!They were roommates!
Heard that in Ron Howards voice
In this case, it’s actually true. FF themselves have said it’s not genuinely gay.
kapranos said in an interview that he is straight and he wrote this song to piss off homophobes
still pretty gay though. No way around that.
My name is Michael and I just watched Franz Ferdinand live a couple of days ago and it was so awesome when they played this. I felt like they were playing it to me.
The same!
Women like our name. And for some silly reason they like to emphasize the M in MMMMichael😂
Wait, you are the boy with the leather hips???
When I went to their concert I couldn't even sing along, I was too hypnotized by his moves and his voice. Damn sexy man. Kapranos is too sexy for his own good.
+Carla Fernanda Wait, are they still going?
+Griff Streather yes they are. I didn't mean I saw them live recently but yes, they still play. Last week they finished their tour with Sparks. Check out FFS on UA-cam
Many thanks.
+Griff Streather no problemo :D
I agree.... this man oozes sexiness.... ohhhhh yeah
Somehow I feel like if it was a girl singing to Michael or Alex singing to a lady it wouldn't be as good a song...There's just something fundamentally gay about it, and that's awesome.
gayness makes everything better. especially sex.
@@eatntell speak that shit 🗣️
@eatntell lies! deception!
@@eatntellshut up
I have to say that it does take balls to make a song like this though
Why would you say?
You know the answer
Who knew? Some people are gay.
Eh it’s British so probably would take significantly more balls had he been American
PapaCassetti Why’s that?
For some reason the line that made me start liking this song was "This is what I am, I am a man...so come and dance with me Michael". I don't know why it made such an impression on me really.
Of course it also helped when I understood the lyrics of the chorus...
"Beautiful boys on a beautiful dancefloor
Michael, you're dancing like a beautiful dance whore!"
Thank you Franz Ferdinand, your song helped my friend to express his love for his best friend.
hol up.
was his name michael?
@@YoDenki lel
@@YoDenki no but I knew a girl who changed her appearance n was so threatening to beat me whenever I said she…. She renamed herself Michael. I knew a Michael once a real man he was a manipulator n tricked me into a relationship he made it out to be that was just to use me for sex n then-flee. I really feel strong dislike for that name now.
@@healingandgrowth-infp4677 are you okay? :c
"She worried about you, call your mother" is my favorite line
Drake Robichaud where is that in the song?
1:34-1:39
Lmao a lot of people won’t get this. 😂😂
Music _ Addict It’s about Bob Hardy that part
I remember hearing this song for the first time as a young teenager, when the record first came out. I was dealing with so much shame and embarrassment at that time. Already people had started calling me the f-slur before I had even come to terms with the idea that that was what I was, and other boys would have these stupid conversations like "Would you rather x, or be gay?" (Obviously they'd always pick the former, no matter how gruesome, even if it meant death.) I fought hard against my desires, but hearing Alex sing about stubble on his sticky lips was like a jolt of lightning that shocked me out of denial. Nothing will ever be as electrifyingly sexy as that moment, when being gay was so taboo and Alex was whispering this delicious filth in my ear through my headphones, as I went to school.
What I'm trying to say is, thank you Franz, for such a pivotal moment in my sexual awakening.
LOVE THIS COMMENT so fucking real
aw this is the wholesome content I occasionally brave the comments section for
Ok yeah this definitely takes the puke cake. Nobody wants to hear about your shitty gay awakening dude
i love comments like these. so real
easter egg at 1:33 , that weird voice you hear ... if you play it backwards you will hear "phone your mom she worries about you"
It's fuckin' truth :D
it was bc Bob, the bassist, was homesick and wanted to call his mom the entire time recording the song :-)
@@li5759 I heard it was the opposite. He’d not called home for a while and it had been his 23rd birthday around that time, so it was a joke that his mother had been trying to contact him.
it sucks i can't fully appreciate this song because my step dad's name is Michael
Tatum Lynette i relate my brothers name is michael
And my dad
IM DYING
rip
F
can't believe alex kapranos invented bisexuality 14 years ago today ugh his mind
nathan?
‘Invented’, I think you mean discovered
@@flappysmallfish7497 did He?
I just got whooshed
What an idol 🤩🤩🤩
This song makes me feel good about myself
haha
Hahaha, about myself too!
Every man in this music video is beautiful.
Makes me wonder how pretty michael is
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
This is where I'll be, so heavenly
So come and dance with me, Michael
So sexy, I'm sexy
So come and dance with me, Michael
I'm all that you see, you want to see
So come and dance with me, Michael
[Pre-Chorus]
So close now, so close now
So come and dance with me
So come and dance with me
So come and dance with me
[Chorus]
Michael, you're the boy with all the leather hips
Sticky hair, sticky hips, stubble on my sticky lips
Michael, you're the only one I'd ever want
Only one I'd ever want, only one I'd ever want
Beautiful boys on a beautiful dance floor
Michael, you're dancing like a beautiful dance-whore
Michael waiting on a silver platter now
And nothing matters now
[Verse 2]
This is what I am, I am a man
So come and dance with me, Michael
So strong now, it's strong now
So come and dance with me, Michael
I'm all that you see, you want to see
So come and dance with me, Michael
[Pre-Chorus]
So close now, it's close now
So come and dance with me
So come and dance with me
So come and dance with me
[Chorus]
Michael, you're the boy with all the leather hips
Sticky hair, sticky hips, stubble on my sticky lips
Michael, you're the only one I'd ever want
Only one I'd ever want, only one I'd ever want
Beautiful boys on a beautiful dance floor
Michael, you're dancing like a beautiful dance-whore
Michael waiting on a silver platter now
And nothing matters now
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Michael, you're the only one I'd ever want
Only one I'd ever want, only one I'd ever want
Michael, you're the only one I'd ever want
Only one I'd ever want, only one I'd ever want
Beautiful boys on a beautiful dance floor
Michael, you're dancing like a beautiful dance-whore
Michael waiting on a silver platter now
Nothing matters, oh, nothing matters, oh
Nothing matters, oh yeah
When vampire businessmen get too tired of their dreary lives, they get high and systematically sacrifice each other by way of a ritual that involves watching the sacrifice dance and slowly ganging up on him/her. The process reaches its climax when there is no hope of escape left for anyone in the room, leaving pagan forces and reality warping the only solution in the end. During this whole fiasco, a particularly powerful group of vampire businessman leaders watches and provides musical accompaniment.
That was truly a wild ride from start to finish
It's been almost 3 years and this is still the best comment I've ever written.
@@harrietrosejimenez I am still amazed by it
Still so glad they released this song as a single. One of those sexy songs you get stuck in your head.
Where in the fuck is this sexy
All the dudes named "Michael" be like, "OHMIGOD DIS SONG IS FUR MEEE"
I was thinking the same thing
javi andrades wow , 2 dumbshits for the price of 1
+Erin McGee your dads called Franz Ferdinand
+Arch Stanton that is weird, If he was Michael it would be boring
I am a Michael
I can’t believe we don’t have more songs like this about openly sexual male-to-male attraction
I agree. It's a shame. This song is actually kind of liberating.
I remember being a kid in 2006 and my buddy was so homophobic that he didn't like it when this song came up in the Playlist on our zune. I'm not gay personally, but this song goes hard.
Lil Nas X has been helping, at least.
@@lucifersam7946 lil nas x is great, but he's super recent. i can barely find any songs like this from when franz ferdinand released michael :/
Yea most of em are boring indie shlock
I want something to party to like this
This was one of my favorite Franz Ferdinand songs for a looong time, ugh, just a brilliant catchy song.
My favourite part is 0:00 - 3:25
I used to rock the flying snot out to this song when I was 16. The men of Franz Ferdinand may all be straight, but they're all hot. It is so important for people to have role models in every niche!! As a gay teen in Middle of Nowhere Iowa, I wanted to be their Michael. There are no songs in mainstream rock for gay teens to latch onto. I still prefer my rock harder than this (Courtney Love or L7 come to mind), but this song is vital to my life's soundtrack. It let me almost "belong".
Totally agree. I just heard this song on Queer Radio :) Love the line "like a beautiful dance whore".
UpsideDownTeapot I misheard the line as 'beautiful dancehall' and wondered what they were on about. Thanks for clarifying.
I would add.Nirvana,.Queen and Depeche Mode to that list.
Alex Kapranos is bisexual just so you know
" There are no songs in mainstream rock for gay teens to latch onto." Truer words have never been spoken. Gay people have to adjust to straight people feelings in order to feel that they belong.
this song is so electrifying and beautiful, i feel every vibration of music flow through my body with each verse

Michael
Franz Ferdinand
This is where I'll be
So heavenly
So come and dance with me Michael
So sexy, I'm sexy
Come and dance with me Michael
I'm all that you see, you want to see
Come and dance with me Michael
So close now so close now
Come and dance with me
Come and dance with me
So come and dance with me
Michael you're the boy with all the leather hips
Sticky hair, sticky hips, stubble on my sticky lips
Michael you're the only one I'd ever want
Beautiful boys on a beautiful dance-floor
Michael you're dancing like a beautiful dance-whore
Michael waiting on a silver platter now
And nothing matters now
This is what I am, I am a man
Come and dance with me Michael
So strong now, it's strong now
Come and dance with me Michael
I'm all that you'll be, you'll ever see
So come and dance with me, Michael
So close now.
You're close now.
Come and dance with me.
Come and dance with me. [Repeat: x2]
Michael you're the boy with all the leather hips
Sticky hair, sticky hips, stubble on my sticky lips
Michael you're the only one I'd ever want
Beautiful boys on a beautiful dance-floor
Michael you're dancing like a beautiful dance-whore
Michael waiting on a silver platter now
And nothing matters now
Thank you!
Jeiji ! 👍🏻👍🏻
This is the best Franz song, the most brilliant original thing they ever did
Not even remotely close but ok buddy
Living in 2004 this song was, and still is, epic
I used to listen A LOT to this song when I was 8-9 yo, and I couldn't understand English back then. Now that I can I like it even more 🤣🤣
Good to know Mads Mikkelsen brought up such a talented son
lol I just notice the resemblance now you mentioned it
He’s Mads’ kid? Cool!
@@Bowiebonolennon1982 no babe theyre roughly the same atge they jus look similar
happy i got to see FF live and hear Mr. Kapranos ask Michael to come all over him
When you feel kinda uncomfortable around every friend/colleague/acquaintance you know after listening to this. There's a guy I barely know in the office but this pops into my head whenever I see him.
Favourite Franz Ferdinand song hands down, even though there's so many good ones to choose from
As a Michael, big fan of this song
A very sensual and irresistible beat! Really gets you moving.
Is it just me or Alex Kapranos looks a wee bit like that dude playing Hannibal Lecter (series)?
Like Mads Mikkelsen? I don't think so :)
Hell yeeeees!I think they're very similar ;)
So i'm not the only one who noticed that. I think Alex could be his younger brother. Great show btw. :)
Oh thank god i'm not the only one who thought that. I say it's the bone stucture. The cheek bones, probably.
Mango sherbet Alex already knows who Mads Mikkelsen is, finally. When he went to Canda people kept saying they resemble each other. Haha
I have to say it was a blessing to stumble upon this song while being head over heels for someone named Michael
When I was around 12 and I used to listen this song on Gran Turismo 4, I thought this song was about Micheal Schumacher. Few years later, studying english at High School, I understood that I was completely wrong.
bro same i was just listening to it in wrc on psp
just guys being dudes
XDXDXD
what's better than this
Mmmmm........that beautiful moment when nothing explains everything.
Just bros being bros
Gio just dudes being guys
My thought back when I was nine.
"What girl is named Micheal." Back before I knew what lgbtq was lmao.
this comment reminds me of when I was young and my (unknowing) mom bought me a tegan and sarah CD, and I was like "What kind of guy has long golden hair?"
Jonatgan Robert Plant
Remember hearing this for the first time as a closeted 15 year old. I was just like 😳
Me too!! When I was in the closetHahah. I was like "Wait he's saying that? He's allowed? Cool!!!"
Me: "You know, I don't think I've heard any Franz Ferdinand songs other than Take Me Out. I should check out more of their stuff."
*clicks this video*
Me 3:25 later: "...I like men now."
fragile straights: it's from the girl's perspective
Alex: *this is what I am, I am a man*
Also: "it's not gay, cause it's a one time thing"
franz ferdinand brought art-rock back to the mainstream with their eponymous 2004 album, and I am forever grateful.
10 years ago this video was uploaded, and here I am a, decade after, keeping listening to this sexy song
I never saw the video for this song back when I had this album playing on repeat. Unsurprised to find that it's spectacular.
Franz: *violently bisexual*
Me: *also biolently bisexual*
Also me: this song... *sheds single tear* ....just yes.
I'm just an ally
Because I am Japanese, at first I didn't know meaning of this lyrics but I was so surprised when I understood meaning
Lol. I'm English but I was surprised about the lyrics as well.
Liking anime and watching it doesn't make you Japanese
@RedSnow 1 it's not a dog, and I don't believe I'm a dog
Z3r0 Physics that’s racist. It’s like your saying all black people like Blank Panther
@RedSnow 1 clown.
My favourite song by Franz Ferdinand. Lucky me, saw that twice live
I did many great laps in gran turismo with this song, thanks Franz Ferdinand !!!!!!
Daddy Kapranos
?
this is still catchy AF this many years later... even if i find the lyrics comical more then relatable... BASS being clear in the mix was half the reason the first album stood out to me compared to later on...
Talk about beautiful. Michael has my heart.
El homónimo de Franz Ferdinand, fue el primer cd que compré cuando empecé a trabajar. Aún me recuerda tiempos mejores.
All of these boys (including the band members) in this video are absolutely gorgeous...
Its got to be one of my top 10 franz songs love it ? i live it .
Just watched this song after listening to it many years ago and forgot how F☆☆KING AWESOME this song is 🕺🕺🕺
this song uses my doorbell sound for some parts and i was about to become crazy cuz i was going to check my door to see if someone was there but nah there was no one there until i realized it came from the song
i finally broke the last barrier of my coming out to this today
How to have fun in GTA Online
Step1> Buy the Rogue plane
Step2> Blast off and have fun
You know it
This reminds me of a few "straight" male friends I had who all had a crush on a man called Michael. They even set up a fan club.
Michael still doesn't know.
This sounds so bizarre it loops back round to believable XD
Must have been some guy 😏😆
did michael ever find out?
@@itsmebitch08 It's been a few years since I spoke to Michael, I moved away from the area when I graduated. Michael might have found out *some* of what happened because I told some other people who worked for/with him about parts of it. For example, the identity of some guys who sent him anonymous gifts.
@@gracebm9581 something must have stood out about this guy
This Song Was Written Just For Me... Just To Let You Know...
You're so lucky. How does it feel to be God's favorite?
@@jeanne5922 Pretty Fucking Amazing... If I Do Say So Myself... LOL!
Miss this era. The way they do this song live was such an amazing experience back in the day. Especially in red set lights!
this song was written for Michael Stevens of Vsauce.
He's gay?
Theodore Mulvihill
Not that it maters, but I believe him to be straight.
Zeyden Emsbry
It's not. But if you imagine it to be true... HUMOR!
+ThePoptartster fair enough
+Zeyden Emsbry "The band shot the video for the single in Berlin. It features a cameo appearance by Michael, an acquaintance of the band and the actual subject of the song." Description
This song makes me feel so good. Thank you so much!
probably my favorite song from them
All these people going on about being Gay to this song or this song makes them Gay. You know what I don't care, this is good music whether you Straight, Gay, Bi, Confused, Greedy Desperate. Music brings people together and that's what it's all about.
Alex is too cute to be real.
i use to love playing this song with my band, great sounds
That rift never gets boring ✌️✌️✌️
This song in high school was everything. First to be a teenage girl and be able to sing desire for man with all of the boldness OF a man... it freed us. And then the music video. Michael walking past the line of androgynous concert goers- and saying- that! That! is my aesthetic. We want to look like those men who look like women who look like men and Alex Kapranis doesn't care either way! Going to concerts in concert halls wearing fedoras and button up shirts and tight jean and boots and feeling alive in the shadowy gthonic world of the theater.
i just loved readding this ;-;
Damn, straggots stole another gay song
Touch some grass
Back in them early 2000's days whenever this song came on at the club all my friends (male, female, gay and straight) all ran back into the club so we could dance to it. My name is Michael, and they all dubbed it my theme song. I didn't care who I was dancing with or what their sexual preference was. We were friends and we all loved each other. That's all that matters. Enjoy the song for being a great fucking song. Get over your personal hang-ups.
One of the best driving songs ever... for me anyway
My favourite song from the album and a great video too
The more I watch the music video, the more I realize Alex looks like a young Hannibal Lecter from the Hannibal TV series.
I don't even know what I like more: the song or the comments.
I came back to relive 2004. ❤🎉
a bisexual king
vega capella 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Shalom
My friend Michael created ecstasy... I love him.
Gay undertone, and gay overtone, and gay in-between-tone. It's wonderful.
listened to these since I was 8 years old and still listening, they are literally that great
¡Once años de esta joyita! Eleven years since Michael was released! ♥♥♥
One of my favourite songs
Fantastic voice !!!!!
Gran Turismo 4 !!!
hell yeaah
So many memories 😍
Still one of the best songs ever.
Can't let the gang know i fw with this 🤞
Let the gang know you fw this
they not real gang smh 🤦🏽
Bought the album in summer '04,and still have it.Great one,2004 had the best music and movies ever!
This Fire and Jacqueline were also great.
BEST SONG!!
This was my favorite song in about grade 6. Wow that seems forever ago. weird. Still love it. They are genius.
I have no idea how this song is still untouched by homophobes
Because it was made by straight rockstars and not Troye Sivan or something
@@bearr3096 uh the singer is bisexual
Because it's a bop. You can't hate something if it bops.
Beautiful album
Awesome! It gave me goosebumps!
this turned me gay even tho i was already gay like WHAT
gay squared
Gay^2
This is about Vsauce, isn't it?
You're goddamn right
it is... or is it?
You made me laugh out loud at the veterinarian office, how dare you
Damnit, now that's the picture that will show up in my head when I hear this
Love that band I saw them in live wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
They are great, come back to Mexico City
great pop band I remember from high school days
La mejor por siempre y para siempre. En pleno 2018 y parece que apenas ayer la escuché por primera vez 😍😍😍😍🖤🖤🖤
Your last in the race in Gran Turismo 4
this song comes on.
You overtake everyone and win the race.

I was playing a rally PSP game and this banger just played
This gives me multiple eargasms. No doubt about it.
