I can't believe I haven't added this tune before now. The rhythm and beat is spot on. Yes it's repetitive, but that seems to make it even better. I have made a number of sound systems cut out because I've had this up too loud. Daft Punk are as close as we get to a modern day Kraftwerk. This video is entertaining too, and must have taken a lot of choreography, in fact I did wonder by the jerky movement if they danced to the music at a slower speed, then it was sped up?? Whatever they've done it works for me!

I hereby pronounce this video to be: genius.
ReplyDeleteQuote from wikipedia article on the video:
"...This is meant to be a visual representation of the song; each element in the video represents a different instrument. According to Gondry's notes, the androids represent the singing robot voice; the physicality and small-minded rapidity of the athletes symbolizes the ascending/descending bass guitar; the femininity of the disco girls represents the high-pitched keyboard; the "itchy" skeletons serve for the guitars; the mummies represent the drum machine."
