It was released as 7" vinyl, a CD single, and a DVD single with the music video and a short interview with the band. The single reached number three in the UK Singles Chart. In the U.S., it reached number three on Modern Rock Tracks chart and number 66 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100. It was a number-seven hit on the Canadian Singles Chart, and also reached #1 on the UK Indie Chart. In November 2004, the single was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America.〔(RIAA Gold & Platinum Searchable Database - Franz Ferdinand Singles ), Retrieved 2009-07-20〕 The song was voted the best single of 2004 by the Village Voice Pazz & Jop poll, and number one on Australian youth radio network Triple J's Hottest 100 of the same year.〔(Triple J hottest 100 2004 ), Retrieved 2009-07-22〕 In July 2009, it was voted number 100 in Triple J's Hottest 100 of all time. ==Music video== The music video for the song was directed by Jonas Odell. It includes the band in the midst of a Dadaist and somewhat Pythonesque (surreal Terry Gilliam style) animation involving quirky vintage figures and machinery. The video is a blend of the live action band superimposed into a 3D environment with animated 2D elements. Franz Ferdinand frontman Alex Kapranos named Dada, the films of Busby Berkeley, and Soviet propaganda as influences, and praised Odell's direction. Kapranos commented: Basically it's a pop video and it should entertain you, but not just once – there're certain things you stare at in life that is just fascinating to look at like a fish tank or an open fire, they're actually quite simple things but there's something fascinating about them. And I think pop videos should be like that too. There should be something there that just makes you want to come back and look at it. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Take Me Out (song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
