Released on September 8th 2003, "Darts of Pleasure" is the debut single by the
Glasgow indie-rock band, Franz Ferdinand, from their homonym first album.
It made its way to #44 UK Singles chart, and was widely acclaimed by the critics.
A catchy song with obscure and seductive lyrics and a very simple rhythmic line.
