One of the themes of the film is this stand-off between two snipers,” Kapranos revealed. “The night before I’d watched a film called Enemy At The Gates, and it’s set during the Second World War around the siege of Stalingrad. In his mind, he drew up a comparison between the similarities of warfare with the perils of dating - inadvertently leading to the creation of ‘Take Me Out’. One scene particularly captured the singer’s imagination. However, the initial inspiration for singer Alex Kapranos to write the number is impossible to decipher in the final product.Īppearing on the Song Exploder podcast, Kapranos revealed that the seed for the track was planted when he was watching Enemy At The Gates, based on William Craig’s 1973 book about the Battle of Stalingrad. On the surface, it’s a song about meeting a person of desire at a bar before putting forward a persuasive proposal. The record’s lead track ‘Take Me Out’ became one of the definitive anthems of the era, and if you cut it open, it bleeds early-’00s indie. It made the band critical darlings, winning the Mercury Prize and becoming Grammy-nominated.
