SIMON BOOKISH REMIX (Available below)

This version is a remix by Leo Chadburn, stage name (at the time) Simon Bookish. It was released on the B-Side to the Michael EP vinyl record, and has yet to be published on the Soundcloud, Bandcamp, Apple Music, Spotify, Youtube or any other platform by either Franz Ferdinand or Simon Bookish. Currently it is only available to listen to through either the record itself or via Youtube uploads.

Extra info: This remix features extra vocals done by Chadburn, including some additional lyrics; "Hailing from Leicester / Clad in polyester / Adopted a pseudonym / Things were never the same again". These additional lyrics were written by Chadburn as well. (Source for these lyrics: I emailed Leo Chadburn a while ago asking about them because I could hear something being sung but couldn't tell what. Those were the lyrics he gave :-D) (For privacy purposes and the like, I won't be providing a screenshot of the email, so... just trust me bro.)

PS. You should give Simon Bookish/Leo Chadburn's other music a listen. It's really good.

DUET VERSION (Available below)

This version is the original song but with female co-vocals, done by a friend of the band named Catrina (assuming the description of the above Youtube video is correct). It may have been the first version of the song made, before a decision was made to remove the female vocals, but I can't remember for sure if that's the case or where I heard that, so take that part with a grain of salt. I'm unsure where this version was released as I have only encountered it on Youtube so far, so please let me know if you know more about this version!

THIS PAGE IS INCOMPLETE! There are other variations I'll be adding soon. This page will be updated over time if I find more variations as well, so please PLEASE do let me know if you know of any variations of the song that AREN'T mentioned here.
