Virtually everything Daft Punk did was inspired by disco music.
What was the first mainstream Disco song?
Donna Summer’s Love to Love You Baby, in which she repeats, “I love to love you baby” about a million times.
This doesn’t seem right. Barry White wrote Love’s Theme around 1965, and released it in 1973. It also reached number 1 on Billboard, so I guess that counts as (US) mainstream.
my name is giovanni Giorgio, but everybody calls me… Giorgio.
Holy shit is that a JoJo reference???
But I do actually like “Giorgio by Moroder”. It seems silly but it’s served me an inspiring monologue to try new things and find something I to be passionate about. And so I bought a few pairs of headphones and schiit amp/dac to see if music making was what I could be good at. It is not. But I found I loved listening to music on nice headphones, and got a pair of Grados to go with the dac/amp
Sorry I know you don’t care just wanted to praise the song lol
Don’t worry mate, I am a music gear nerd as well ;) I am really into guitar stuff, effects pedals and amps. My latest acquisition is Astral Destiny by EarthQuaker Devices

You should try to build your own clone…
One More Time…
One more time has way more than three words
Celebrate and dance so free yaah

It really is a great song, while the lyrics are repetitive, listen to everything else

Is there anyone on the internet who doesn’t know Daft Punk or at least this specific song 🤔
I guess I was using the information contained in the meme to formulate my response. Also, plenty people probably haven’t seen the video
It was all over MTV and vh1 in 1997
And a lot of folks on the internet weren’t alive yet.
That sucks. They missed out.
Not a single one. I just set my grandmother up on the internet and wouldn’t let her on the laptop until she’d listened to this full album.
You’re right, those people deserve to learn something special too.
Here’s my personal favorite mix that they’ve done. Not a lot of people who know them have heard it, but it’s absolutely stellar.
Pretty god, but I found this unreleased track to be truly groundbreaking https://youtu.be/pKQp61e94VE
That’s very nice. Gripping from the start. Do you know which songs are in the mix?
Is this what you are asking for?
Yes sorry, I overlooked the dropdown button
No worries. Nice to have a question answered without being told you should just go find it yourself. Sure you could have found it yourself but spelling i also clicked the link didn’t take much to help out.
So as i dont think it’s needed, no sorry accepted lol
Edit: spelling. Is autocorrect/predictive suggestions getting worse?

Yes.
I 100% expected that to be a Rickroll 😄
I miss the days when preview/thumbnails hasn’t ruined a great thing
absolutely fantastic and thanks for sharing!
Unless you’re part of an uncontacted tribe or something you definitely know Daft Punk. How about this one.
I’ve told the story before, but I worked a MarketPro Computer Show & Sale a million years ago and was stationed next to a booth selling mostly speakers and stereo equipment where the booth owner had brought his 10-ish year old son with him. This son preceded to play “Around the World,” full-blast, through an enormous stack of display speakers, instantly filling the entire convention hall. Then he put the song on repeat. All day. No exaggeration, he did not play a single other song for the entirety of the 10 hour shift, just “Around the world, around the world… around the world, around the world… around the world, around the world” endlessly.
That kid is a legend of trolling.
circling the globe
Around the world
around the world
Arrrround the world
Around the world
Arrouund the world
Around the world
Around the world
Around the world
(if we do this 137 more times, we’ll have sang the whole song, i counted)
Around the world
Robot Rock about to end that 3 word novel’s whole career
Yeah but the guitars in that song are fucken deadly
Daft Punk weren’t really very good songwriters, but they made up for it by being fantastic producers.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
They’ve also got a song where the word “It” accounts for practically 50% of the lyrics.

“We should make a song that hits people at the emotional level, but I don’t know what words to use”
“Emotion you say?”
And yet it’s a million times better than songs like “Gucci Gang”
GUCCI GANG 🗣️🗣️GUCCI GANG 🗣️🗣️GUCCI GANG 🗣️🗣️ 🔥🔥🔥
Green Eggs and Ham is longer and only has 50 unique words.
I mean, if you are listening to Daft Punk for lyricism, you’re doing it wrong.
Technologic objects to your statement
Zip, unzip it.
“Around the world” aren’t the lyrics, they’re just another instrument. You wouldn’t say that the drum beat is repetitive, for example.
Yes I would. Daft Punk’s songs are boring AF, except for their work on TRON Legacy. And their movie scoring was only good because of the movie’s editors. The soundtrack on Spotify is boring too.
They’re boring by today’s standards. Back then, they were slightly above average.
There was plenty of good music in 1997, it just wasn’t pop.
Hm that might be the reason. Is there any tracks I should check out around that time?
I saw them live. Music was good but there was very little dancing in the crowd.
They’re no The Prodigy.
But drum is repetitive. That’s its function.
Just like it’s the function of that sample.
And here I thought it was referring to “Robot Rock”. Though I suppose that’s only two words.
