The media have jumped on the perceived irony of Collaborations Don't Work, but is it really ironic or simply a refutation of the perception that this IS a collaboration? You've said something to the effect of FFS being a unique band independent of both Sparks and Franz Ferdinand, so is it really a "collaboration" at all? The fact the song may not be ironic is so ironic my head hurts.
Also, as my username suggests, I'm a Serge Gainsbourg fan. Franz Ferdinand have covered him in - ahem - collaboration with Jane Birkin, and Ron and Russell knew him somewhat. Any stories about the man himself that you're willing to share?

The album arrived this morning and I'm loving it!
