Music Video of the Day: Lose Yourself to Dance by Daft Punk feat. Pharrell Williams and Nile Rodgers (2013, dir by Thomas Bangalter, Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo, Warren Fu, Paul Hahn, Cédric Hervet)

Today is the 43rd birthday of Thomas Bangalter, who is rumored to be one of the robots better known as Daft Punk. For that reason, I selected Daft Punk’s Lose Yourself To Dance as today’s music video of the day!

One of my fondest memories of 2014 was watching the Grammy Awards that year. The only reason that I watched was so I could see Daft Punk win every award they were nominated for. Every time they were mentioned, the camers would cut to the robots sitting in the audience. Every time they won, Pharrell Williams would end up on stage, saying, “The Robots would like to thank…”

I hope you enjoy this video as much as I enjoyed that awards ceremony!

Hi, everyone! Lisa here with today’s music video of the day!

July 14th is Bastille Day in France so it only seems appropriate to share a video from my two favorite French musical artistes, Daft Punk. That’s right — the robots are French!

Instant Crush was the fourth single to be released off of Daft Punk’s Grammy-winning fourth album, Random Access Memories. It’s a collaboration between the robots and Julian Casablancas. The video was directed by veteran music video director Warren Fu and it brings tears to my eyes every time.

Enjoy!
