The song Take Me Out by the band

That's debatable, but it's no big deal. --Madchester 04:23, 2005 Mar 28 (UTC)

Take Me Out now redirects to Take Me Out (disambiguation). Cleduc 08:20, 6 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Good move. --69.12.143.197 21:13, 4 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It is very odd that the riff in thsi song is compared to Ringo Starr and Led Zepellin, but not GANG OF FOUR. Listen to the song "Not For Great Men," off of Gang of Four's 1979 album "Entertainment" and compare the two.

This Wikipedia article does not contain any comparison to Ringo or Zeppelin, perhaps it did in the past and that information should be restored?

In the book "Sounds Like Teen Spirt" author Tony English says Franz Ferdinand’s “Take Me Out” sounds like Ringo Starr’s “Back Off Boogaloo”[1] -- 193.178.96.170 (talk) 14:45, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently very old versions of the article included a poorly sourced claim purporting that Pete Doherty had accused Franz Ferdinand of plagiarism. I have found a reliable source, the original source of that claim it would seem, a journalist from The Independent (back in 2005 when it was a still an actual printed newspaper) was at the Ivors and Doherty commented that it is "exactly the same riff"[2] -- 193.178.96.170 (talk) 15:05, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

{ Some critics have also noted similarities with the riff of "Trampled Under Foot" by Led Zeppelin. } Do we have a source, or is this just conjecture? - I've moved it out pending some source.

The interesting thing is that it is possible for them to arrive at the riff quite separately - kind of like two people proving the same mathematical problem independently in similar ways, or concurrently discovering some new chemical process. Therefore, would suggest that unless there are sources for saying 'This sounds like that', we don't refer to them. Ultimately, that's original research, no?

There's a guitar part in the song that's based upon the first part of Das Modell by Kraftwerk. At least, I think so. Anyone else agree?

I don't think it's based upon it, but I hear the similarity there. — mæstro ^t/c, 16:54, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Off memory, the song is not the theme of Sports Tonight, but rather Any Given Sunday. However, Sports Tonight used clips from many songs, including sometimes this one. Should this be changed or added? DRS1992 07:54, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A surprising new genre, especially for the Rolling Stones. Would just a song by the Rolling Stones suffice, or maybe disco influenced? 09:19, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

It's been well documented and it's obvious to casual listeners and musicologists that the album Emotional Rescue has some influence from disco, but "disco punk?" That's a leap, as well as other claims made by this article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rapturerocks (talk • contribs) 04:27, 23 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
