“Around the world” aren’t the lyrics, they’re just another instrument. You wouldn’t say that the drum beat is repetitive, for example.
And it went Gold

And here I thought it was referring to “Robot Rock”. Though I suppose that’s only two words.
MindTraveller@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
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.
Pilferjinx@lemmy.world 11 months ago
They’re boring by today’s standards. Back then, they were slightly above average.

But drum is repetitive. That’s its function.

Just like it’s the function of that sample.

my name is giovanni Giorgio, but everybody calls me… Giorgio.
Exusia@lemmy.world 11 months ago
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

Buy it, use it, break it, fix it, trash it, change it, mail, upgrade it, charge it, point it, zoom it, press it, snap it, work it, quick erase it, write it, cut it, paste it, save it, load it, check it, quick rewrite it, plug it, play it, burn it, rip it, rip it. Technologic.

I never had my chance to fully memorize those lyrics.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 11 months ago
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.
Brickardo@feddit.nl 11 months ago
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.
habanhero@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
I mean, if you are listening to Daft Punk for lyricism, you’re doing it wrong.

I’d 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.

Daft Punk weren’t really very good songwriters, but they made up for it by being fantastic producers.

Is there anyone on the internet who doesn’t know Daft Punk or at least this specific song 🤔
OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
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.
ggppjj@lemmy.world 11 months ago
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.

Unless you’re part of an uncontacted tribe or something you definitely know Daft Punk. How about this one.
