Darts Of Pleasure
"Darts of Pleasure" is the debut single by the post-punk revival band Franz Ferdinand, released in the United Kingdom on 8 September 2003 and in North America on 18 November 2003, both through Domino Records.
Alex Kapranos explained to Q magazine that "the song is about seduction and the "Darts Of Pleasure" that hit you are actually words."
The song ends with several lyrics in German, most famously the line "Ich heiße Super Fantastisch!" ("My name is Super-Fantastic!", whereas "Super-Fantastic" is the name, not an adjective. Although variations in the German language occur, creating the true meaning to be "I am called Super-Fantastic!").
Famous quotes containing the words darts and/or pleasure:
“risk is full: every living thing in
siege: the demand is life, to keep life: the small
white blacklegged egret, how beautiful, quietly stalks and spears
the shallows, darts to shore
to stab—”
—Archie Randolph Ammons (b. 1926)
“It is a pleasure to stand upon the shore, and to see ships tossed upon the sea: a pleasure to stand in the window of a castle, and to see a battle and the adventures thereof below: but no pleasure is comparable to standing upon the vantage ground of truth ... and to see the errors, and wanderings, and mists, and tempests, in the vale below.”
—Francis Bacon (1561–1626)
