Those loquacious Scottish rockers Franz Ferdinand have apparently said they'd like to have a go at getting that near-Holy Grail that is the Christmas number one slot, despite the peril inherent in going up against Cliff Richard during any given festive period.
"It would be great to get the Christmas number one," said frontman Alex Kapranos, "I suppose we could even write something special for Christmas. I think Santa Loves Franz Ferdinand sounds pretty good."
Bassist Bob Hardy added: "We could follow it up with The Easter Bunny And Franz."
