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:
“As many as the shells that are on the shore, so many are
the pains of love; the darts that wound are steeped in
much poison.”
—Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)
“Each say following another, either hastening or putting off our death—what pleasure does it bring? I count that man worthless who is cheered by empty hopes. No, a noble man must either live or die well.”
—Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)
