-Archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated.
The first song I heard from FF was, of course, Take Me Out. At the time though I was in World History and the lead question was who knew the reason that started WWI, which most of us of course said Germany. Which in a way is true, but that's when we learned more about it.
At the time though I thought the song was named Franz Ferdinand because of his assassination and also because I couldn't see any reason why someone would name themselves after a dead guy.
