About This Track
“Michael” is a song by Franz Ferdinand and was the fourth single released from their debut self-titled album. 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 to the UK magazine Boyz 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.”[1] The song was released as a single in the UK on August 16, 2004.

But I didin't wanted to say all lyrics are double meaning,there's also some kinda obvious sentences.

Nice way to refer to a sexual encounter with Michael (I'm not saying its a fact but only giving my opinion about this song).Lyrics are with double meaning.What's more they replace "Come and dance with me" by "Come all over me" at the concerts to make it a little bit more obvious.And at the end of the song: "oh yeah!" (orgasm) xD I love songs like this!!! (as I always say : sorry for my fucking english)
