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.
Robot Rock about to end that 3 word novel’s whole career
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 🤔
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.
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
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, drag it, drop it, zip unzip it. Technologic.
“Around the world” aren’t the lyrics, they’re just another instrument. You wouldn’t say that the drum beat is repetitive, for example.
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.
Television Rules the Nation
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.
circling the globe
And yet it’s a million times better than songs like “Gucci Gang”
One More Time…
One more time has way more than three words
