The song was notable for its homoerotic lyrics such as "stubble on my sticky lips" and "beautiful boys on a beautiful dancefloor". The singer, Alex Kapranos, stated in an interview that the song was written about two friends of his — "It was one night when me and the band were out with friends from Glasgow, and we went to this warehouse dance party thing called Disco X. It was a very debauched night and these two friends got it together in a very sexy way." Lyrics: 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 wanna see, so come and dance with me Michael So close now, so close now, so come and dance with me, so 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 only one I'd ever want only one I'd ever want Beautiful boys on a beautiful dancefloor 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 so come and dance with me Michael So strong now, its strong now so come and dance with me Michael I'm all that you see, you wanna see so come and dance with me Michael So close now, its close now, so come and dance with me, so 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 hips 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 dancefloor Michael, you're dancing like a beautiful dance whore Michael, waiting on a silver platter now ... and nothing matters now Michael, you're the only one I'd ever want only one I'd ever want only one I'd ever want (twice) Beautiful boys on a beautiful dancefloor Michael, you're dancing like a beautiful dance whore Michael, waiting on a silver platter now, nothing matters now, nothing Matters now but you YEAH...

Reception Franz Ferdinand received universal critical acclaim. The NME said that the band was the latest in the line of art school rock bands featuring The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Who, Duran Duran, Roxy Music, the Sex Pistols, Wire and Blur. It rated the album as 9 out of 10 and said: "This album is the latest and most intoxicating example of the wonderful pushing its way up between the ugly slabs of Pop Idol, nu metal and Britons aping American bands. What these blossoming bands have in common is the absolute conviction that rock 'n' roll is more than a career option." The BBC's review of the album said: "At only 38 minutes long Franz Ferdinand may not be a particularly long album, but it is a masterpiece of funky, punky, suave cool from the first track to the last." The All Music Guide rated the album as four out of five stars and said: "Franz Ferdinand ends up being rewarding in different ways than the band's previous work was, but it's apparent that they're still one of the more exciting groups to come out of the garage-rock / post-punk revival." The album received an extremely positive 87 rating on MetaCritic[1] putting it among the top 100 albums rated by the site. The album is featured in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die. Lyrics: I only watched her walk, but she saw it I only heard her talk, but she saw it I only touched her lips, but she saw it I only kissed her lips, but she saw it Gonna have to tell her tonight (x4) She only blinked her eyes, but I saw it She only swung her hair, but I saw it She only shook her hips, but I saw it She only licked her lips, but I saw it Gonna have to tell her tonight (x4) Hey, have to tell her, you tell her tonight, yeah I'll have to tell her, you tell her tonight, yeah I'll have to tell her, you tell her tonight, yeah I'll have to tell her, you tell her tonight I only watched her walk, but she saw it I only heard her talk, but she saw it I only touched her hips, but she saw it I only kissed her lips, but she saw it Gonna have to tell her tonight (x4) Hey, I'll have to tell her, you tell her tonight, yeah You have to tell her, you tell her tonight, yeah You have to tell her, you tell her tonight, oh yeah On Set: Alex Kapranos -- lead guitar, lead vocals Nick McCarthy -- rhythm guitar, vocals, keyboards Bob Hardy -- bass guitar Paul Thomson -- drums, percussion, backing vocals Andy Knowles (touring only) -- drums, keyboards, guitar
