Franz Ferdinand's Alex Kapranos Accuses Pharrell of Stealing "Take Me Out" Riff for Paloma Faith Song

Franz Ferdinand's Alex Kapranos Accuses Pharrell of Stealing "Take Me Out" Riff for Paloma Faith Song


Franz Ferdinand's Alex Kapranos has directed a tweet at Pharrell today implying that Paloma Faith's new single "Can't Rely on You" (written by, produced by, and featuring Pharrell) lifts a riff directly from Franz Ferdinand's "Take Me Out".


"Hey @Pharrell - I love your tunes," he writes. "If you want to borrow a riff, just ask..." In response to a fan who tweeted, "maybe you could buy him a new hat once he's paid up?," Kapranos tweeted, "Let's hope it's a hit, then. Again."


Pharrell hasn't responded. Representatives for Paloma Faith have not responded to a request for comment.


The song certainly doesn't sound dissimilar to "Take Me Out"...
