'''Taken For A Ride''' is a song by [[Andrew Horowitz]]. | |||
==History== | |||
Taken For A Ride was one of many "new" songs from 2005, first appearing on [[The Pingry EP]]. This version features likely [[Rob Cantor]] and [[Joe Hawley]] on lead vocals instead of Andrew and is a simple acoustic recording. | |||
Taken For A Ride would then make its way onto Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum in 2005, with Andrew and Joe on co-lead vocals and much more complex instrumentation. This recording makes use of a vocoder on Andrew's voice. Additionally, it transitions from [[Welcome To Tally Hall (Song)|Welcome to Tally Hall]] on M.M.M.M. | |||
In 2007, it would be partially re-recorded for the album's re-release by [[Atlantic Records]]. This version makes use of a clearer vocoder and some moments of silence were extended by a bit. | |||

* The chorus has the same melody as the instrumental part after [[Just Apathy]]'s last verse. | |||
* In the music video, Andrew's tie blends in with the green-screen which is why it appears as black instead of the usual green. | |||
