New Music: Cover of Franz Ferdinand’s “Take Me Out” by Scissor Sisters
Found this song a few days ago while music hunting on the internet, although this song isn’t exactly new (apparently it is the b-side track for Scissor Sister’s 2004 single, “Mary”). These glam dance rockers made the popular 2004 Franz Ferdinand single as their own, restyling it with a lounge-y feel that a 1980’s Elton John would have approved. I am a fan of Franz Ferdinand’s original version of the song, but this one makes for an enjoyable listen too, what with a twangy country guitar plucking replacing the electric guitar at the song’s signature riff. Below is the link to the mp3 of the live recording of the Scissor Sister’s lounge sessions in London’s BBC Radio One back in 2004.
