UCL2 - WEEK 8
​
​"TAKE ME OUT"

This week you will explore your final song of the season, Franz Ferdinands, "TAKE ME OUT, released in 2004 as the second single from their debut album, Franz Ferdinand which became the band’s biggest hit, propelling them to international fame.

The song starts fast-paced, but then suddenly slows down after the intro, creating a striking contrast. This unexpected tempo change makes the song feel like two different tracks merged into one.
