The opening skit in "Revolution 909" is said to be a reflection on the French government and its stance against rave parties. When asked on the motivations of the stance, Bangalter said:
“ I don't think it's the music they're after, it's the parties... I don't know. They pretend it's drugs, but I don't think it's the only thing. There's drugs everywhere, but they probably wouldn't have a problem if the same thing was going on at a rock concert, because that's what they understand. They don't understand this music which is really violent and repetitive, which is house; they consider it dumb and stupid. "
The song was the subject of an over 20 year-long sample hunt, as the song had an unknown sample. Speculation said that the background "yo, yo!" noises were from Kris Kross' "Jump", which was false. The sample remained unknown until 2022 when a YouTube user named ClassicSpirit found the real sample for Revolution 909: Fun Factory's Celebration (Mousse T's Back To The Old School". It took 25 years to find the sample, and ClassicSpirit found the sample by reverse-engineering the drum break, then the bassline, then scouring through all songs that used this bassline, which initially came from Cheryl Linn's "Got To Be Real".

Daft Punk Lyrics

I repeat stop the music and go home
"Revolution 909" is one of the classic electronic dance tracks by Daft Punk. The song is about rebelling against the constant and sometimes intrusive noise of electronic dance music in order to go back to the simplicity of silence. The lyrics instruct the audience to "stop the music and go home" in order to disconnect from the noise and take a break from the constant stimulation of modern life.
The opening verse of "Revolution 909" shows Daft Punk's awareness and concern for the well-being of their fans, who are at their mercy to some extent during performances. The repetition of the lyrics is intentional and indicative of a call to action. They demand that the music stops, and the audience disconnects, forging new identities and ideas of who they truly are under the guise of electronic dance music.

I love how most EDM/electronic artists have sexy girls dancing in their videos with lots of flashing lights and then you got Daft Punk with what could be a segment on a cooking show

They don't have sexy girls dancing in their videos with lots of flashing lights but they have the Robot Rock clip
Edit: Oh shit, forgot the disco girls from the Around the World clip. The director of the clip himself said "They are very sexy"

I remember following this video recipe. I was 13. My mom was like "'the hell are you doing?". "Propper pasta, mother". I trusted these people with anything since day 1.

Was it good?

@@keeveekoomoo2083 If it was done right then it must've been good. It's a simple recipe that I make every once in a while. Add garlic with a little tomato paste and it will taste even better.

Hahaha me too! I was probably around 13 as well. That was 20 years ago.
