Song of the Day 3/11: Franz Ferdinand, “Take Me Out”

It seems the Trump administration isn’t alone in pissing off musicians by using their music without asking for permission. The ironically named Israeli Defense Forces set social media video of their unprovoked attack on Iran to “Take Me Out,” the 2003 breakthrough hit for the Scottish band Franz Ferdinand.

Frontman Alex Kapranos expressed their displeasure. “These warmongering murderers are using our music without our consent. This makes us both nauseous and furious. Kind of typical, though, isn’t it? To strut up and take what isn’t theirs with a vile arrogance…”

Well, yeah, now that you mention it.
