17 years ago, on the first day of Architecture school, the professor welcomed us with this song on full blast in the lecture theatre and I immediately knew I was in good company. I dropped out of Arch school and went to work in order to feed my young family; but the burning desire to design and to create is like a shimmering coal fire that keeps getting hotter as time goes on. Pink Floyd's High Hopes, New Order's Elegia, Poets of the Fall's Carnival of Rust, and this song ... kept me going through my darkest days. They fed the soul, and kept the fire burning. If you're going through depression please remember it's temporary; take that first step; there's always a fire in you.

[@BrutusBongo]

literally what the song is about

[@JLukeHypernova]

don't even try it they beat you to it

[@tamparocks]

Franz Ferdinand took inspiration for their name from a racehorse called "The Archduke Ferdinand." After seeing the horse race on TV they began to discuss Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, whose assassination triggered World War I. They decided it would be a good band name because of its sound and the implications of the Archduke's death. The song compares lovers to snipers aiming at each other. The lyrics begin, "So if you're lonely, you know I'm here waiting for you. I'm just a cross hair, I'm just a shot away from you." Alex Kapranos told NME it's about how you'd, "rather be shot than continue the tension." Copy & Paste from (songfacts)

You say, "You don't know" I say "Take me out" I say, "You don't show" Don't move, time is slow I say "Take me out I say, "You don't know" You say, "You don't know" I say "Take me out" If I move, this could die If eyes move, this could die I want you To take me out I know, I won't be leaving here (with you) Oh, I know I won't be leaving here I know, I won't be leaving here (with you) I know, I won't be leaving here With you I say, "Don't you know?" You say, "You don't know" I say "Take me out" If I wane, this could die If I wait, this could die I want you To take me out If I move, this could die Eyes move, this can die Come on Take me out I know, I won't be leaving here (with you) Oh, I know I won't be leaving here I know, I won't be leaving here (with you) I know, I won't be leaving here With you

Frozono max franz Ferdinand was the man whose assassination by Gavrilo Princip in 1914 Bosnia Herzegovina started the First World War. It’s ironic because he - Franz Ferdinand - was in fact “taken out” so the band - Franz Ferdinand - making a song called “Take Me Out” is almost like a nod towards his assassination.

When I'm going through the comment sections of songs on KZbin, I see people talking about the music obviously, but nobody ever talks about the music video it seems. The music video can really add to the song and I think this is a great example. I think this is one of the best music videos; just the aesthetic and visuals are so creative and cool.

[@JohnSmith-1066]

Agreed. Seems to be a mix of late Victorian and early Soviet aesthetics.
