Two Girls, Daft Drunk

Trying to pull off this feat while under the influence of alcohol is a tough task. It takes precision, coordination, rhythm, and most all, balance - which is something these goofballs ain't got at the moment. Given the lack of skill on display here, I bet our dancers posted this Girls Done Daft vid on the net before sobering up. At least, I hope that's the case.

The Old Meets the New: Daft Charleston

Whoever said "out with the old, in with the new" didn't foresee the coming (and staying) of the dance floor disaster we call Soulja Boy. If you compare the moves we bust on the dance floor nowadays with those of the past, you'd understand why someone did everyone a favor and put the Charleston at play to Daft Punk. Let's infuse our new with a little old, shall we? This is awesome.

Daft Kanye

Not too long ago, the Daft-Punk trend hit the net and everyone got wrapped up in a finger-flipping spell-a-thon. When two girls put their entire bodies into the mix, we thought the trend reached full potential. Not so! If Kanye has anything to say about it, those fingers gotta move "harder, better, faster, stronger" . . . (Thanks, College Humor!)

Daft Bodies

And the phenomenon continues. These two chicks wanted to play into the Daft-Punk trend, but do it "harder, better, faster, stronger." So they took the hand show and turned it into a full body spell-a-thon. Sorry, ladies, this crazy, dancing girl has you beat. Big time.

Robots, Mummies and Monsters--Oh, My!

You guys seemed to really like the music that the wild dancing girl was dancing to: Daft Punk. So I found a really cool video for their song "Around The World." These dancers--Busby Berkeley style--form patterns while the camera films their kaleidescopic movements overhead. I wanna dance like those mummies! Love them!

Flashback: Styx "Domo Arigato, Mr. Roboto"

GiggleSugar — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 13:50:35 -0700

Poised somewhere between the tongue-in-cheek '70s Kraftwerk robots and Daft Punk's nudge-nudge wink-wink robots of the new century is the masterwork "Domo Arigato, Mr. Roboto" by the awesome band Styx. Without a trace of irony or humor (that's OK, that's my job!) the lead singer goes on and on about how robots represent the worst of dehumanizing technology. That's an original critique! (And, ummm, why do the robots look Asian?) Anyway, I shouldn't mistake this song for something that's supposed to provoke too much thought. It's just cheesy rock 'n' roll at its best. Kilroy was here!

Flashback: Kraftwerk's "The Robots"

The German band Kraftwerk--from their look to their sound to their sense of humor--has had a huge role in what modern music looks and sounds like. Devo, Daft Punk, Air? Ambient, Techno, Electroclash? Impossible without Kraftwerk. Remember that they were formed in 1970, when the 60's "Flower Power" ethos was still in full bloom, and it's hard to imagine where a band that fetishizes robots, pocket calculators and the Autobahn could have come from. Duh. Germany, of course. This video rocks. Never have robots been so sexy...
