Franz Ferdinand — no strangers to the gay bar, they — have become the latest band to fall under the spell of Britney Spears‘ relentless hit single:

The All-American Rejects…
Ladyhawke…
Fall Out Boy (sort of)…

the mysterious Marrina…
and, umm, this guy:

Asked why Franz Ferdinand chose to cover “Womanizer,” singer Alex Kapranos said it was because it’s the best song out in the last few months. Maybe so, but I’m at the point of begging for someone to take on “Poker Face!”
