** "Michael" was re-recorded as a duet between Alex Kapranos and Catriona Shaw of Queen of Japan, with the concept accordingly changed to a man and woman both competing for Michael's attention. The intention was to release it as a single, but the band decided that this version diluted the content of the song, so the album version was released as a single, and the duet version was relegated to a free download on the band's official website.
