A lot has been made of Franz Ferdinand's new single being a bit gay. Oh there's nothing like a bit of sexual ambiguity to get tongues wagging. Maybe he's singing about Princess Michael of Kent. Why is she called Michael anyhow? Anyway its a decent enough tune but definite third single territory and no 'Take Me Out' no matter what Brian might try and tell you. There's a decent B side to this on the CD and a German (?) version of 'Tell Her Tonight' on the other CD there's a couple of decent-ish non album tracks (note:the track 'Missing You' is not the John Waite classic of the same name). The 7" has a remix of 'Michael'. One other point - my mum doesn't like them. She's tried but she thinks its his voice she doesn't like. She does think that they seems like nice enough lads and wishes them every success.

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.
