Take a Look Around

About Take a Look Around

"Take a Look Around" is a song by the American rap rock band Limp Bizkit. It is the lead single and tenth track on their third album Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water and was released in July 2000. The song received a Grammy nomination for Best Hard Rock Performance in 2001 but lost to Rage Against the Machine's "Guerrilla Radio". Previously in 2000 RATM lost to Bizkit in MTV Video Music Awards, which caused an incident featuring RATM bassist Tim Commerford climbing on the set. The main riff of the song is derived from the original Mission: Impossible theme composed by Lalo Schifrin and appears on the soundtrack to the 2000 film Mission: Impossible 2. An instrumental version of "Take a Look Around" was released as a promo and later included as a B-side on some versions of the "Rollin'" single. The song became a European hit in mid-2000, reaching number one in Iceland and Portugal, number two in Finland and Spain, and number three in Italy and the United Kingdom. In addition to reaching the top 10 in several other European countries, it became a top-thirty hit in Australia and New Zealand. more »
