It turned out he really couldn't, but they switched things around, and a band was born.Here’s a thought to consider: all band names are terrible. On the edge of a fight, Alex asks Nick : 'Can you play the drums?' (as Paul as the one who originally played the guitar). Nick drunkenly stole Alex's bottle of vodka at a drunken party in (where else?) Glasgow. Violent Glaswegian: Subverted by how the band started.Strange, seeing as it was Nick who grew up in Bavaria. Translated Cover Version: Their German cover of ' Tell Her Tonight,' featuring Paul.The collage technique is probably also a Shout-Out to Terry Gilliam's animations for Monty Python.Dada is a movement primarily associated with taking place during World War I, and the lyrics can be interpreted as being about the real Franz Ferdinand (although not as explicitly as 'All For You, Sophia'). The deliberate use of collage techniques is reminiscent of Dada 'art'.Surreal Music Video: what the hell happened again in Take Me Out?.Shout-Out: In the lyrics booklet, the line 'come and dance with me' in 'Michael' is preceeded by a crossed-out ' come all over me.'.

Shown Their Work: Sure, they may have been named for a horse rather than the assassinated archduke, but 'All For You Sophia' shows they aren't ignorant of the latter.

The Roaring Twenties: Their first album runneth over with the references to the '20s-especially in the videos, which are obviously influenced by Dada and Vkhutemas/Soviet Constructivism.

It goes with everything they've done, too, from the Soviet Constructivist look of their first album to whatever you call they're doing now. Alternately, look at the video for 'This Fire'. It was actually their second video their first was 'Darts of Pleasure', which was a more typical music video.

Sequel Displacement: 'Take Me Out' was the video that put them on the map, no doubt to the memorable avant garde style.

Retraux: The band loves all kinds of tasteful blast-from-the-past fashions, to say nothing of all the vintage equipment they use.

(In other words, the last Christian died on the Cross, and Christ is so unlike the Christians).

Religion Rant Song: 'The Fallen.' As Alex would have it, Jesus Was Way Cool, and were he alive today, would be hanging with the poor and downtrodden, and not the self-declared Christians drinking champagne and riding in limousines.

Recycled Lyrics: Taken to its logical extreme 'No You Girls' and 'Katherine Kiss Me' are the same song, on the same album, with a different melody.

Real Life Relative: The strange woman in the video to their cover of LCD Soundsystem's 'All My Friends' is Anna McCarthy, Nick's sister.

Captain Obvious: This extract from This Fire: 'Now there is a fire in me, a fire that burns'.

Not Christian Rock: Nobody would ever accuse Franz Ferdinand of being a Christian band, but given 'Auf Achse,' 'The Fallen,' and a few other songs, it's pretty obvious that if nothing else, Alex's year of Theology at the University of Glasgow gave him a firm grip on Christian imagery (and a distinct vision of Christ, to boot).

Mind Screw: The album version of 'Lucid Dreams.'.

Just what are they doing in 'The Dark of the Matinee'?.

'If I could laugh.we'd be laughing lovers.' 'I'm Your Villain' adds some lovely Foe Yay to the mix.And This Boy takes on a whole new meaning when you know it was originally sung by a woman.Not to mention rumors that when Alex Kapranos and Nick McCarthy first met, the fight they got into ended with them snogging.And the line 'your famous friend, well I blew him before you' from Do You Want To.Further adding to Michael's Ho Yay is that occasionally, in live shows, the line 'so come and dance with me Michael' is changed to 'so come all over me Michael' and the line 'stubble on my sticky lips' to 'stubble on my sticky hips'.Ho Yay: I have only one thing to say: Michael.And then the German version of ' Tell Her Tonight'.Gratuitous German: the ending of Darts of Pleasure.Four-Temperament Ensemble: As further defined:.white, white, white and half-white (with the other half being white). Note that they don't really play this up, certain. Bob is English, Nick was raised in Germany, and Alex is half-Greek. Paul is the only one that's purely Scottish. Ending Theme: Surprisingly, Do You Want To is the ending theme to Paradise Kiss.Deliberately Monochrome: The videos for ' L.Concept Album: Tonight, the tale of a long, hard-partying night of drunken debauchery (most likely in Glasgow).The Backwards R: In, at minimum, the video for 'This Fire'.Wells'), particularly as depicted in the video. Franz Ferdinand provides examples of the following tropes:
