It's not ironic. This song is meant to be from Archduke Franz's Ferdinand's perspective - pleading Gavrilo Princip to take him out because he doesn't want to live without his wife Sophia (who'd already been shot and killed)
Saw the Bonnaroo lineup. A lot of bands like this including them. So funny to see everyone complain about Miley not being here and they just have no idea. Franz in concert was so sick
@@shaebryant1916 that's why they call it post-punk. It's not punk. Also you need to go back and listen to their first album. Lastly David and Goliath were apparently in the same fight class as they were matched together (in the myth).
I seriously embarrassed my daughter who was a teenager at the time, when this track started playing in a record shop and we were at the top of an escalator (moving staircase?) on our way out. I can shout more-or-less in tune and so I did, as we slowly, slowly descended to the ground floor and more and more heads turned our way. Sometimes being a parent can be highly rewarding!
GUITAR HERO ALERT! Nearly every time Brad recognizes a song and can't remember where he's heard it, it turns out that it's a song that was featured on a Guitar Hero or Rock Band game at one point. "Take Me Out" is another one. This was in the second difficulty tier in the very first Guitar Hero (and reappeared later on the Guitar Hero: Smash Hits compilation). I think this might have been on the track list for the Guitar Hero arcade game, too. Anyway, I don't know if that's where you heard this before, but there's a solid chance.
I believe that I distinctly remember hearing this song in one of the Pro Evolution Soccer games. It was one of the songs that came up when the main menu came out.
This was the perfect song for you guys to get your teeth into! Perhaps you should explore other UK indie bands of the era as well. Bloc Party would be another good one! 😊
I always thought this song was about the assassination of Franz Ferdinand from his own perspective. He gets shot with his wife, but she dies first. His last words were begging for her to live. "If you leave here (die)... "I'm just a shot away from you" (they're both dying from gunshots) "I know I won't be leaving here with you."..."Take me out" (he's alone and dying and ready to go).
@@highpath4776 No mate, that would be the T In The Park in 2004 one, as the OP said. T In The Park was a Scottish music festival. Reading is an English one. They're probably both on YT.
The singer had been watching Enemy at the Gates (a sniper movie) - and he had the idea of the two snipers in that movie, their mental battle, trying to take each out - had parallels with two people making eyes at each other across the room at a night club or something.
This was a fun era for indie/dance rock. Lots of fun bands just doing their own thing. I met the lead singer before one if their concerts. He's so tall! Haha
One of Scotland's finest indie-rock exports. They have a few other hits over here, though I have a soft spot for the lesser-known "The Dark of the Matinée". I hope this can be a lead-in to you exploring other mid-2000s British indie (Snow Patrol, Razorlight, Keane, Athlete...), or more Scottish pop/rock acts in general (Travis, Deacon Blue, Altered Images, Aztec Camera...)
The Dark Of... Is great. Happy Birthday by Altered Images also, though very well known. Other Scottish great songs I would recommend are Donimo by The Cocteau Twins and The Hardest Walk by The Jesus + Mary Chain.
Please, no Razorlight! FF were overhyped, but never known a band shown up as charlatans as much as Razorlight. FF propbably weren't helped by the fact that Arctic Monkeys appeared on the scene soon after they did, and well, it was game over. Same went for the Kaiser Chiefs.
I've always loved the long intro - you think that's the way the song will go, then it all changes. Pity you didn't watch the video - the steampunk of it all adds to the feel. :-)
I listen to heavy music, metal/death metal, hardcore, punk, ect. And this opening riff is one of the hardest (coolest) riffs I’ve ever heard. Then transitioning into the classic riff we all love. Super sick.
This song just makes me feel like a child again in a way nothing else does, the pure nostalgia that hits me every time I hear the opening is unexplainable
This song was in Madden 2005, which might be where Brad heard it. I worked for EA Tiburon at the time, and I did the actual work to make the song play in the game.
It was Guitar Hero. Have you thought about doing a live show with Guitar Hero and Rock Band songs as the theme? I love the simple 7 note riff played during, "I say you don't know" verse. The main riff is awesome too. Great truffle analogy!
I like the Guitar Hero/Rock Band theme idea! There were several songs that I was turned on to thanks to playing it with my daughter and nieces. There's a great mix in that theme, because I also turned the kids on to some of "my" music! Obviously songs used for the games are impactful, so people will usually have a strong reaction one way or the other. 😊
Once the members came together, they settled on the name Franz Ferdinand for their band. The name was originally inspired by a racehorse called Archduke Ferdinand.[3] After seeing the horse win the Northumberland Plate in 2001, the band began to discuss Archduke Franz Ferdinand and thought it would be a good band name because of the alliteration of the name and the implications of the Archduke's death; his assassination was a significant factor in the lead-up to World War I.[4] In an interview, Hardy recollected that "mainly we just liked the way it sounded. We liked the alliteration."
If you're going to post a comment of the meaning of songs and the history of bands then do Brad and Lex a favour and don't copy and paste off Wikipages :/ make from your heart and memories ;)
I'm not heavy into rock, but I love this song. The first time I heard of this song was on Madden NFL 2005 and I play this song A Lot in the game. This song was popular in the mid-2000s, I also remember hearing this song on a PlayStation commercial at the time.
indie rock and post-punk revival. Listening to Franz Ferdinand lead me to things like Soft Boys, Gang of Four and The Jam, and them more and more post-punk and jangle rock. It was a good journey
Alright! If we going Franz Ferdinand, there is a heap to check out! Walk Away, What She Came For, Love Illumination, Stand On the Horizon. Very exciting.
2000’s were a strange time for rock. There’s a few good bands and songs in there. Always liked this one for the transition from the intro into the main song.
Franz Ferdinand has some great fun songs - from their second album (You Could Have It So Much Better), 'Walk Away' is one of my fave songs with one of the best music videos. From their newer album, the title track Always Ascending is a fantastic build and shows well how they've evolved. Also second the recommendations from others re: 'No You Girls' and 'Do You Want To' and 'Come on Home' - they all have that unique FF quality. :D
Great group and song. Brad heard it from sporting events and TV lol. I think that the song was shorter than normal? Other good songs from them are "Do You Want To" And "Jacqueline". Time for some more post-punk, indie rock, dance-punk music. Bloc Party, Interpol, The Killers, The Strokes. and Arcade Fire! Maybe some Yeah Yeah Yeahs?
I caught these guys live in Omaha in the mid to late 2000's with green day. They were pretty good but they had just a small set. This was one of the songs they played. Still it was a great concert.
I enjoy the two of you. Cracks me up to see how you react to so many songs that I grew up listening too. Probably just old. Anyway, decided to subscribe because I watch the channel quite a bit. Always interested to see what you're listening to next. Keep up the good work. I appreciate your content.
Do more indie/alternative rock bands! They are fun interesting groups with creativity. Brad. You heard it on radio, tv, video games and stores 😆. Yes. Kinda funky makes you move to the beat. I think that the song was cut a little short on that video though. "Darts of Pleasure" is another good one from them. Cool videos from them too. Joy Division, Siouxee and the Banshees, Gang of Four and U2 influenced a lot of good '90s and '00s post punk, dance-punk rock groups like The Killers, The Strokes, Muse, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Interpol, Bloc Party, Arcade Fire, Franz Ferdinand, Metric, etc. 🎸 Check out these bands too! Also check out Silversun Pickups. Shoegazy alternative rock band. Very.much like Smashing Pumpkins.
Such an under rated gem.💎 Really takes me back listening to it. Among many other things, I remember this song being used in the ad for the PSP when it launched. At least the ad in North America.
I think I fell in love with them after listening to their entire "you could have it so much better" album, sooo good every song on there to me is so great
The song compares a case of two people in a bar eyeing each other up but being afraid to make the first move to a couple of snipers with each other in their sights who are also afraid to move and therefore give themselves away. Cool.
FF is good. But The Fratellis are great! "Chelsea Dagger" is the best song to start with - in tons of movies and commercials, and the official song of the Chicago Blackhawks.
i was probably in middle school when this song came out, i remember every morning i would get ready for school by turning on MTV2 (they actually played music videos believe it or not) and 9 times out of 10 this song would get played
The song is actually about a sniper in the Balkan war,cross hair as in gun sight and take me out as in ,,well take me out .big love to you guys i love your honesty and spontainious reactions.
If y'all enjoy new sounds please try Dead Can Dance. They're different than every other band you've ever listened to it. Ubiquitous Mr Lovegrove is a good place to start.
Thanks for this reaction! This whole album is quite good. If you guys have a chance I would recommend giving it a go. "Jacqueline" and "This Fire" are straight bangers.
I used to think this song was just about picking up a girl at a club. It is about 2 snipers looking at each other through the cross hairs of their telescopic rifle. Great riff.
A lot of the bands you have mentioned you kind of recognized and not sure where is either in video games or most likely commercials. I know I’ve heard this in a commercial personally but can’t remember what it was on sense I don’t normally pay attention to commercials, just notice the song they use.
This song dropped when I was living a wild, party life in London, UK. Plenty of parties, girls, ladies and fun times. Anyway - you mentioned it sounding "different" than other rock you listen to...and this is because it's technically part of a British rock subculture called "grunge" (if memory serves) **I didn't Google it though, just typing from mid-00's memory 😅
Check out their song “Outsiders” live on “Later with Jools Holland”, the song ended their 1st album and I always taught it was just ok….this live version is fantastic, you also catch a glimpse of Cee Lo Green dancing in the background
Anybody that grew up playing madden during the 2000s (back in the golden years) knows this one. Man Madden used to have many good soundtracks. Introduced me to many good hip hop and rock songs
Oooh Franz Ferdinand, great choice, how about some Maximo Park then? Apply Some Pressure, Going Missing, I Want You To Stay, Graffiti… those are some bangers. Anyways, you guys are my fav reactors!
I love the irony of Franz Ferdinand's biggest hit being titled "Take Me Out"
I see what you did there, history buff :)
You should listen to their song, All For You Sophia by them if you want some more history haha
@@sass1511 I never thought of that before. Very clever!
And then we had the first world war.
It's not ironic. This song is meant to be from Archduke Franz's Ferdinand's perspective - pleading Gavrilo Princip to take him out because he doesn't want to live without his wife Sophia (who'd already been shot and killed)
This song has a very infectious grove. Franz Ferdinand is an underappreciated band.
yes, quite underappreciated in the big picture. As is British Sea Power ‼️
Really? Underappreciated?
Festival headlining Franz Ferdinand? Underappreciated? Ok
I can’t explain the feeling this song gives me
Saw the Bonnaroo lineup. A lot of bands like this including them. So funny to see everyone complain about Miley not being here and they just have no idea. Franz in concert was so sick
Truly one of the best songs of all time.
This song just takes back to my school days in the early 2000s.
Great 2000s post-punk band along with The Strokes, Arctic Monkeys, and Interpol.
Bands like the strokes, A.M, Kaiser Chiefs and Franz Ferdinand got me back into music again.
Arctic monkeys and punk is like David and Goliath. Polar opposite
@@shaebryant1916 that's why they call it post-punk. It's not punk. Also you need to go back and listen to their first album. Lastly David and Goliath were apparently in the same fight class as they were matched together (in the myth).
Modest mouse too. Damn those heroin addicts can write!
I seriously embarrassed my daughter who was a teenager at the time, when this track started playing in a record shop and we were at the top of an escalator (moving staircase?) on our way out. I can shout more-or-less in tune and so I did, as we slowly, slowly descended to the ground floor and more and more heads turned our way. Sometimes being a parent can be highly rewarding!
That's awesome 🤣
Haha ! Good job !
GUITAR HERO ALERT!
Nearly every time Brad recognizes a song and can't remember where he's heard it, it turns out that it's a song that was featured on a Guitar Hero or Rock Band game at one point. "Take Me Out" is another one. This was in the second difficulty tier in the very first Guitar Hero (and reappeared later on the Guitar Hero: Smash Hits compilation). I think this might have been on the track list for the Guitar Hero arcade game, too.

This was the perfect song for you guys to get your teeth into! Perhaps you should explore other UK indie bands of the era as well. Bloc Party would be another good one! 😊
Kaiser Chiefs as well.
Bloc party for sure!
They need to do Bloc Party. They defined angsty post punk revival.
The killers, strokes and modest mouse are similar acts
I was going to suggest Bloc Party too. Like Eating Glass would be a good one to do.
I loved this song when it came out. I love how it starts out like one song and turns into a completely different song.
Infuriating when raido stations start this at main guitar lead in
Yea the switch is cool
I always thought this song was about the assassination of Franz Ferdinand from his own perspective. He gets shot with his wife, but she dies first. His last words were begging for her to live. "If you leave here (die)... "I'm just a shot away from you" (they're both dying from gunshots) "I know I won't be leaving here with you."..."Take me out" (he's alone and dying and ready to go).
Oh man, you need to see them do this at T in the Park in 2004. Perfect example of why British crowds are the absolute best for atmosphere.
Is that the Reading One on YT
I was there, let's just say the crowd got into it!
ruclips.net/video/kZyzjeNTB_Y/видео.html

I had to go and look up how tall he is - 5'11? lol Still SUPER jealous!
@Stephanie Petersen haha I was a teenager at the time so maybe he seemed even taller hahaha
One of the hardest tempo switches.
What a great time for british rock it was with bands like FF, Kaiser Chiefs, Editors and many more.
Wow I forgot about the Kaiser Chiefs!
It was actually a shite time....just a few bands. the hangover from the 90s.
Omg yessss Kaiser Chiefs!!
The editors were amazing
I know you probably just meant UK rock but FF are Scottish, not British.
This reminds me of going out drinking with mates on a Friday or Saturday evening. When at University, indie was huge.
One of Scotland's finest indie-rock exports. They have a few other hits over here, though I have a soft spot for the lesser-known "The Dark of the Matinée".

The dark of the matinee is awesome, love the song “Michael” too. That whole album is quality
Dark of the Matinee is the best song on this album!
Well said sir.I see that you know things. 👌

I’ve gone from finding this song annoying to really really liking it. Every time I hear it, I like it more and more.
I'm in the still annoying mode with this song.
@@chestrockwell8328 sounds like you gotta listen to it more
I've always loved the long intro - you think that's the way the song will go, then it all changes. Pity you didn't watch the video - the steampunk of it all adds to the feel. :-)

The assassination of Franz Ferdinand started World War 1. My favorite song from them is 40'. This song always remined me of Float On by Modest Mouse.
They were such a staple of my early 30s in the pacific NW. Dramamine is still one of my favorite songs ever.
Tho I do love that British comedian’s take on the cause of ww1 being Ferdinand’s assassination… “nobody is that popular.”
I think this song was on one of the Guitar Heroes or Rock Band. I love this track. Very cool rhythm.
indie rock and post-punk revival. Listening to Franz Ferdinand lead me to things like Soft Boys, Gang of Four and The Jam, and them more and more post-punk and jangle rock. It was a good journey
*Weird. They lead me to The Strokes, Modest Mouse, Interpol, and Yeah Yeah Yeahs.*
I had the same dawning recognition, Brad. Great, raw, old school, it goes how we play it now song..
spoiler: Lex smiles, Brad scrunches his face all confused, they both pause and say "Okayyyyy", then play rest of the song
dont forget saying its "so different" despite being pretty similar to most of the other songs they listen to
When I first saw the music video for their song "Do you wanna", I was like "yep, this is gonna be of my fav bands".
Alright! If we going Franz Ferdinand, there is a heap to check out! Walk Away, What She Came For, Love Illumination, Stand On the Horizon. Very exciting.
Yes! And outsiders, dark of the matinée and ulysses.
Ah one of my favourite albums 🏴🏴
Do You Want To is another great song by Franz Ferdinand. Well worth a listen
OH! I had almost completely forgotten about this great song. Love the tempo changes!
2000’s were a strange time for rock. There’s a few good bands and songs in there. Always liked this one for the transition from the intro into the main song.
So many great songs from Franz Ferdinand! One of my favourites lyrically is The Universe Expanded.
Franz has two of my all time favorite songs and this is one of them. Be sure to check out No You Girls.
GOTTA HEAR "Come on Home" criminally underrated song. I love Franz Ferdinand

Love this! One of best rockers on the radio in past 10 years
this song is like the holy grail for this kind of music
This was in one of the soundtracks for the EA MLB game in the early 00's.
Passes sirl😂😂😂😂
It was in a Madden game too. I want to say 04 or 05.
And NHL 05
Greatest song from a great band !! 🔥🔥
Do more indie/alternative rock bands! They are fun interesting groups with creativity. Brad. You heard it on radio, tv, video games and stores 😆. Yes. Kinda funky makes you move to the beat.

One of the coolest songs ever recorded!
"Take Me Out" was like the Bee Gees "stayin alive " of the 2000's
I first heard this song when we bought our kids the first guitar hero game back in 2006 or so
I used to play this on the original Guitar Hero on the PS2😂🤘🏻🔥🎧
That beat drop...for a pop rock song is sick
I think I fell in love with them after listening to their entire "you could have it so much better" album, sooo good every song on there to me is so great
This album is perfect from start to finish!
Takes me back to 04. Good ol days!
The song compares a case of two people in a bar eyeing each other up but being afraid to make the first move to a couple of snipers with each other in their sights who are also afraid to move and therefore give themselves away. Cool.
FF is good. But The Fratellis are great! "Chelsea Dagger" is the best song to start with - in tons of movies and commercials, and the official song of the Chicago Blackhawks.
The are so underrated love the video for flathead !
The Fratellis are dope, definitely my favorite band from this whole early 2000's UK scene that them, FF, and Arctic Monkeys all came out of.
@@chriswhinery925 don’t forget the Kaiser chiefs
Love this song! So catchy and groovy!

I love Franz Ferdinand. One of my favorite ones from them is Ulysses.
The song is actually about a sniper in the Balkan war,cross hair as in gun sight and take me out as in ,,well take me out .big love to you guys i love your honesty and spontainious reactions.
This was played in every Van's store constantly for like 2 years when it came out
If Brad played any sports video games around 2010's this song was in most of em 😂
If y'all enjoy new sounds please try Dead Can Dance. They're different than every other band you've ever listened to it. Ubiquitous Mr Lovegrove is a good place to start.
Or anything from that album.
@@TairaKirkland your not wrong.
Love these guys.
Nice to see someone reacting to them.
👍
I love this song
"Walk Away" from them is awesome as well
Great reaction Brad & Lex to Franz Ferdinand - I can't wait until you discover The Libertines!!
Try “I Predict a Riot” by Kaiser Chiefs, or maybe “A Certain Romance” or “Mardy Bum” by Arctic Monkeys.
this song when it came out always reminded me of modest mouse in the style they play
"I feel like that's our dog's theme song."
Thanks for this reaction! This whole album is quite good. If you guys have a chance I would recommend giving it a go. "Jacqueline" and "This Fire" are straight bangers.
found this song on nhl 2005 as a young kid. definitely sent me down a rabbit hole in the future 😂
Heard a cover band playing this after I ran up South Congress during Austin Marathon 2013. Pumped me up then. Indelible memory.
Always Ascending is another one of their funky bangers.
I'll just allow myself to believe you did this song cuz I suggested it! Lol
It was in Madden 05
This is another song that was on both Guitar Hero and Rock Band 2 along with a bunch of other video games.
I love this song so much, and this band! I danced my feet sore at my girlfriend's house, watching anime, staying up late!
This is as good as it gets for Franz Ferdinand
I used to think this song was just about picking up a girl at a club. It is about 2 snipers looking at each other through the cross hairs of their telescopic rifle. Great riff.

Franz Ferdinand....lets GO!!!!
One of my all time favorites. The beat of this song is pretty much unmatched for me. Love it
this was in one of the earliest Sony PSP hand held ads on TV in North America 2005
