Around the World

by Daft Punk

Around the World cover art

An exercise in extreme minimalism, the track is legendary for featuring exactly one lyrical phrase repeated one hundred and forty-four times over an infectious groove. The production is incredibly tight, built entirely around five distinct layers—including a prominent bassline, vocoder, and synthesizer hook—that enter and exit the mix systematically. The accompanying music video, directed by Michel Gondry, visually represented each instrument with corresponding choreographed dancers.
