Franz Ferdinand's singer says the band's forthcoming single is not about a gay relationship, but rather about a debauched party the band once went to.
Michael includes references to 'beautiful boys on a beautiful dancefloor' and 'stubble on my sticky lips', but Alex Kapranos says it's all about a warehouse party they once went to in Glasgow.
XFM says he told gay lifestyle magazine Boyz that the Michael in question was proud of the name check.
But he refused to name the other man involved, because his girlfriend was 'jealous'.
He said: "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."
Asked whether he had been tempted to join in, Kapranos just replied: "Everyone looked wonderful that night."
