"Take Me Out" by Franz Ferdinand

If you played EA Sports video games in 2005—or if you simply tuned into the radio—you couldn't escape Franz Ferdinand’s “Take Me Out,” a disco-inspired rock song with an unusual structure and an even stranger music video. Critics showered praise on this stylish band's hook-laden dance music, and although the song only reached #66 on the Hot 100, it has become an inescapable classic that remains relevant even today. At the request of our Patreon supporters, we’re diving deeper into the band this week to understand what all the hype was about. If you like the show, be sure to rate, review, and subscribe.
