Franz Ferdinand - Take Me Out (Video) 

108 years later and still going hard

It's amazing how even after 1914 this song is so popular

This song has one of best rhythm transitions ever made in the rock genre.

Today the song turns 20 years old! This is simply fantastic!

I had no idea Archduke Franz Ferdinand made such bops, RIP, the serbians got to you too soon!

That rhythm transition into the main riff is badass

This song was just truly ahead of it's time. What a classic.

This feels so nostalgic, almost. 1910's vibes

the last time someone took out Franz Ferdinand it started world war 1

The guitar is just fucking perfect in this song. I want this played at my assassi- I mean funeral.

I miss this era of music

It’s brutal when you find an amazing song and realize only the intro is good

This song never dies

This song/video is possibly the most 2004 thing I've ever seen

2024 people? You here guys?

I've just listened to this song for the first time, 19 years after it was released, and it's amazing! I can't stop listening to it! WOW !!!

That riff dropped harder than 1920's german economy Edit: i love how this comment is still alive, y'all got good music taste

“All dreams have a meaning” My dreams:

[Intro] 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 And if you leave here, you leave me broken, shattered I lie I'm just a cross-hair, I'm just a shot, then we can die Oh, oh, oh I know I won't be leaving here with you [Instrumental Break] [Verse 1] I say, don't you know? 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 [Verse 2] Well, 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 [Chorus] I know I won't be leaving here (With you) 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] I know I won't be leaving here (With you) 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

THE TRANSITION IS THE BEST ONE EVER MADE

I can't believe this band is so popular, they named an Archduke after them.

People out here saying that the opening to the song is better than the rest of song as a whole. In my opinion, the song wouldn't be half as memorable if it was just the opening. The song's main riff is just so infectious...

This absolute gem randomly popped into my head and it gave me the biggest smile man good memories

We need more bands like this today.

This sounds so fresh, any way we can have a garage rock revival in the 2020s?

when the riff slows down and the song moves to the next section around the 1-minute mark, I always get goosebumps!

Damn. This song is 110 years old this year. Crazy

That transition is true perfect; I can’t resist cranking the volume up when this song plays.

only 1910's kids will remember

My mom just passed away today and this was one of her favorite songs

The opening had a very great tune going, and then they completely drop it for an even greater tune/beat. 10/10

if Archduke Franz Ferdinand could pull these sick beats, Austria-Hungary would still be around kicking ass

We actually played this at my work and I was mouthing every word and one of my managers looked at me and was shocked 🤣

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.

This looks like someone just discovered an editing app for the first time and used all the features they could- it's great.

Rock music was on life support during this time period. Only a handful of bands kept it alive. Franz Ferdinand was one of them.

💜2024 And this gem continues to shine 💖💎🔥

05/17/24 and I'm here. I'm a legend.

2004 one of the best years of my life, franz ferdinand, strokes, white stripes, gorilllaz, etc etc

Can't believe this was only #2 in the top 100 during 1914

Ingenious tempo change, brilliant song. Well done.

the way this incarnation of Franz Ferdinand burst into the scene as a complete artistic package, audio-visual, was incredible. especially the first couple records, and the way they presented themselves in that era had so much intention and drive. I'm mentioning this because most bands these days, roughly 20 years later, don't even come close. this revival moment had a joyful ire about critiquing the looming digital sensory overload age (this is pre iphone), via constant allusions to analog visual aesthetics yet in a way that poked fun back on itself which is perhaps what made them loveable rather than just pretentious. early Franz Ferdinand was a rare mystical artistic accident that celebrated humor and playfulness somehow mixed with a gothic sensibility and darkness, delivered with a heart warming sincerity. they were facetious enough to call the venue they played at the Chateau, while wearing eyeliner and singing about being served on a platter.. miss this time now looking back, but in a way I'm happy that they evolved and kept their journey going, songs like this though remain in the time capsule that is youtube as relics of a weirdly hopeful but unhinged time that was the post 9-11 aughts..

the transition in this is like when everyone thinks the main character is dead and then he just emerges from a fiery building and beats the crap out of everyone

This song was my anthem in 2004. That opening guitar riff was the ticket! Perfection!

Playing this on the drum is an absolute experience

Saw them in Dublin last night, they were absolutely fantastic! They put on a great show, delighted I went. Got to pretend I was 18 again!

0:47 - 0:55 If there's such a thing as a plot twist in music, this is it.

Car comercials: Shows car and everything it has Food comercials: Shows food and how delicious it is Perfume comercials:

artists who died 110 years ago make such good music

Still an absolute banger - loved this ever since I was 7 years old, I'm 25 now lol...

I'm so happy I found this song after more than a hundred years

why the fuck does the archduke of Austria have a vevo

Nostalgia at its finest

This song takes me back to high school

Classic Went to play Guitar hero 1 on ps2 and sure as hell it had this song on there

I haven't heard this song since elementary school. Honestly I forgot it existed. This was such a sudden blast of memories and nostalgia

You know I'm here waiting for you

How in the hell does TikTok ruin a song? In my opinion it just helps spread it to an audience that might not have heard it otherwise. This song is great and I’m actually glad it’s getting more people to find out about it.

0:47 on of the greatest transitions in rock history

Franz Ferdinand: "Take me out." Gavrilo Princip: "Bet."

Thank you guitar hero for introducing a me to so much music 😊

Just saw them yesterday in a festival. They are awesome live, didn't really know them before but they definitely left an incredible impression. If you got the opportunity, grab a ticket to see them live it's worth it !

This song: *exists* Anyone who has taken a world history class: *inhales*

Nobody: My dog every five minutes:

This was their biggest hit, and it was their debut single! It was so popular, it was featured on the Now That's What I Call Music! Vol. 17 compilation album. I swear, that was probably the first time that anyone's been introduced to this band. I believe Franz Ferdinand also had another single on the Now That's What I Call Music! Vol. 20, which was released one year later. Therefore, they had not one, but two songs featured on the NOW compilation albums. Switchfoot and Relient K also had two of their singles featured on the NOW compilations at that time.

110 years going strong 💪

Grandchild to grandfather: Grandpa, are you gonna watch today's football match? Grandfather: who is playing? Grandchild: Autria and Hungary Grandfather: against who?

*this smells like the 2000's*

I couldn’t think of the name for this song all day but all of a sudden remembered it while on the toilet!

Cara essa música e simplesmente perfeita em todos os aspectos

Lyrics So if you're lonely You know I'm here waiting for you I'm just a crosshair I'm just a shot away from you And if you leave here You leave me broken, shattered, I lie I'm just a crosshair I'm just a shot, then we can die 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 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- 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 can die If I wane, this can die I want you to take me out If I move, this could die If eyes move, this could die Come on, take me out I know I won't be leaving here I know I won't be leaving here I know I won't be leaving here I know I won't be leaving here with you

I say "You don't know" You say "I don't know" I say "We don't know" You say "What the fuck?" I say..................."Take me out"

I like especially how in the transition the guitarist hits the strings so hard and with such abandon that the tonic power chord takes on a major quality despite this song being very much in minor all the way through. It may have been a mistake, or maybe it's just distorted overtones, but I love the fact that nobody went "oh but this is wrong" and they just kept it in - so genuine, so raw :)

Мне эту группу посоветовал мой препод по географии (шикарный чел). Ни секунды не жалею что последовал его совету

The riff to this song has been etched into my brain for years without me knowing the song or artist. Glad I finally found it so I can slap this into my playlists

I don't think a music video could be any more early 2000's than this

It's the first time i hear this song and i freakin' love it Thanks RU-vid for recommending this

Remember when you're kid, and every experience feels fresh and new? I saw this music video as a kid on MTV, and it was TRIPPING as shit

It looks like this song is going to be played a lot in 2020...

Who ever the video editor is should at least get a shout out lol

109 years and it’s still 🔥

*A message to the future generations:* _Don't let this song die._

Franz ferdinand needs a rival band called Gavrilo Princip

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 And if you leave here You leave me broken, shattered I lie I'm just a cross-hair I'm just a shot, then we can die Ah-ah-ah 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" 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

I love the structure of this song is just a long intro and then nothing but chorus. It really spun me out the first time I heard it.

I ended up listening to this song casually on youtube and loving it, and then after seeing so many comments, I can understand how amazing this song is for its popularity for years.

Can we just take a moment to appreciate how fucking smooth that beginning transition is?

Good to know half of the comments took a high school history course.

Franz Ferdinand Is Amazing At Emulating That Classic Rock Vibe

Imagine in 15 years, kids are gonna be listening to this, and are gonna be saying "I was born in the wrong decade" .

I'd have to be paralyzed not to stomp along with this song. God help me if it ever comes on when I'm driving.

Using this song for my Music Appreciation class here in Sept. of 2023. ✌ Rock on.

Many steps above average, a jam with some artistic video too.

Man, the first time I listened to this song and I heard that transition... I still get chills...

I remember vividly being 15 years old when this came out. Me and my parents were on vacation and I had them stop at a store so I could buy it because I loved this song so much. I ended up loving the entire album and listening to it on my Walkman (LOL) the entire vacation. Ahhh memories. Still one of my all time favorite albums!

What a riff! It holds up to any hard rock band!

this song is so aweome

Franz Ferdinand said "Do you want to take me out?" and the Black Hand took him up on the offer.

The change in a tempo that melts into the guitar riff..i mean goddammit how bloody great is that?!!

this song gives me mad nostalgia
