"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.

This is where I'll be
So heavenly
So come and dance with me Michael

So s***, I'm s***
So come and dance with me Michael

I'm all that you see, you want to 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, it's strong now
So come and dance with me Michael

I'm all that you'll see, you want to see
So come and dance with me Michael

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

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

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 dancefloor
Michael you're dancing like a beautiful dance-whore
Michael waiting on a silver platter now
Nothing matters now
Nothing matters now
Nothing matters now
