Song: Take Me Out
Band: Franz Ferdinand
Source: Wierd-Al's Polkarama!
Trivia: The tune in the first minute of the song is different from the rest. All the tempo changes were recorded in one shot.
Interpretation:
The person singing the song here is trying to pick up a person at a bar \ somewhere.
Saying that if the other person is lonely and looking for company he\she is up for it.
However he\she wants the other person to make the first move, he\she is scared that the other person may shoot him\her down. There is also a slight hint in few lines where the singer is scared of the butterfly effect "If I move this could die\If my eyes move this could die" Or that he\she is afraid that if they made the first move, they would mess up the possible connection. So he\she wants the other person to take the shot.
Skeleton waiting at the bar.
Music Video: The music video is amazing, it looks like an amateur video artist put all the unfinished possible animations into the video.
The video depicts a different meaning
It shows many scenes from a factory where animatronics are made, a lil experimentation is in progress. They have not yet made any complete being, but are very cautious that whatever they are creating is very delicate. The lyrics "You say - I dont know, I say- you dont know, I say- take me out " when mixed with these scenes tries to tell us that they are tired of trying the unknown or reached the peak of their efforts and it is not heading anywhere.
