Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger

About this song

One of Daft Punk's most popular singles, the song is built like an assembly line, with disconnected words and lines gradually coming together into full phrases and sentences. The single cover draws on the anime Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem, which uses the song to score the blue alien band passing through a machine that makes them look human. The song was sampled in Kanye West's "Stronger" and inspired the viral video "Daft Hands" and the performance "Daft Bodies".
