Great song, can't believe so many years have past since it's release. One of the best dual guitar rythms, the weaving & interplay between the two guitarists, accompanied with the bass thump & bass drum stomp is beyond cool.

First time I heard this song, I was driving and it came on the radio. I was really confused cos knowing a little bit about music I couldn't understand how I'd not heard it before. This was because I'd automatically assumed that it was an old song. Just too good to be a new song even back then.

It's great to hear from the band. Love the tempo change in their hit song, was very refreshing. Just shows how easy it is to start a band if you are lucky enough to find decent people with half a brain and a little patience. I hope that things will get back to normal and we can go to the big festivals again soon... Fucking Scamdemic is killing music with no remorse...

All I want is for these guys to explicitly say that the title was a joke about Franz Ferdinand’s assassination. I think it was intentional, but they’ve never explicit said so. I just need them to say it.
@adamg.manning60882 жыл бұрын
They did once explicitly say it was written from the point of view of the Arch Duke’s wife, as she didn’t want to go on with out her husband. She wanted to be the next to be shot. “I’m just a cross-hair, I’m just a shot away from you . I know I won’t be leaving here With you. . Take me out [too]”

@@Mr.M1STER You're conflating artists that have one-hit with artists that have multiple hits but one that was more successful than the others. Yes, Take Me Out charted the highest and is the best known, but all the others that @Camberwell86 mentioned charted too and the band still has a consistent fan-base. One-hit wonder is a term reserved for bands that have one charting mainstream hit and no others that even come close. Like Don't Worry Be Happy. We can't be basing one-hit wonder status on whether or not you reckon other people have heard of a group's songs
