A band from Scotland that started World War One by singing "take me out." Gavrilo Princip thought this was a request to be killed so he shot them.
"Franz Ferdinand were shot and killed today by a member of the Black Hand Gang following a concert in Sarajevo."

Franz Liszt (or Liszt Ferenc) was a hungarian composer and could very well be called one of the greatest to ever lived. He was a virtuoso and is known to be one of the most skilled with a lot of pieces (many taken from other composers just improved, even admitted by the original once). His own pieces are great as well. Opinion based but he had almost every style from romance.
A: "I want to play this piece from him"
B: "well... Rondo Fantastique 'El Contrabandista' is too hard... actually don't play any pieces from Franz Liszt, you will fail and regret!"
A: "As if"
-All fingers broken and brought to a hospital-
A: "Give me 'Für Elise'."

A band representing the national trend of taking a good, out-there, little-known band and blowing them up to the point that they are no longer good and out-there. This can be especially frustrating for those that purchased their CD before anyone else even knew who they were. Other examples of this include Coldplay and the movie Napolean Dynamite.
"I want to watch Napolean Dynamite again!"
"No dude, it got completly Franz Ferdinanded. Let's watch Pulp Fiction instead"

charismatic liar; second only to L. Ron Hubbard as founder of lame religions; will take your money; wears too much cologne; stuffs his fat self into versace suits, which he buys with his patrons' money; pretty much a life-ruiner.
Person 1: Who's the guy who is endorsing Scientology?
Person 2: I don't know, but for sure he's a Pastor Franz.
Person 1: Fo' sho'.

Austro-Hungarian Monarch. Shot. Dead. WW1. So they say.

Pish and mystifyingly popular Scottish Band that are this month's 'band du jour' among Britain's alt-art "yeah I'm so trendy and with it" cognoscenti. Alternative enough to be acceptable to the educated middle classes and students, but sufficiently lacking in originality to have mass appeal among brain-dead assholes who like whatever happens to be trendy. Destined for fleeting success followed by half-hearted follow-ups of marginal artistic credibilty and only fringe appeal. Popular among people who punctuate sentences randomly with the word "like".

I went to a totally like underground Franz Ferdinand concert and only like really clever people who get it were there because it wasn't advertised except on the internet like and in a coded advert in The List that you had to be a totally clever like fan to understand. And I was there so I said the guy, I was like "I'm like your biggest fan and I knew you all before you were like really popular" and he was like "oh really well why don't you come in for like free then" and I was like "yeah" and I got in like totally free. It was so cool just like being so much like everyone else but in a totally like original and alternative way yeah.
