"Take a Look Around" is the third single by rapcore/nu metal band Limp Bizkit from their third album Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water. The song was released as two singles, "Take a Look Around: Part 1" and "Take a Look Around: Part 2." Both are differed in color and tracks (Part 1 is silver and Part 2 is gold). The song was also featured on the soundtrack of the movie Mission: Impossible II. It was chosen as the theme song for the movie over Metallica's 'I Disappear', which appears alongside it on the film's soundtrack.
The melody of the song is derived from the original Mission: Impossible theme, with the most prominent difference aside from the instrumentation being the change of time signature from 5/4 to 4/4.
The single made #3 in the UK-Single-Charts in 2000.

[edit] Music video
The video for the song features the band working undercover at a diner in order to retrieve a disc from a group of secret agents. But just as they are about to succeed, they are ordered to abort the mission, as the secret agents turn out to be decoys. The boys are soon kicked out of the diner, and the phone that Fred Durst uses at the beginning blows up right at the end. There are also scenes of the band performing in front of the diner.
