I love how the audience go "woo" when the Crescendolls part comes on. I honestly didn't expect many people to sing to it since its a pretty underrated song. But I love it and it's definitely one of the best Daft Punk songs.

Ikr, so cool!

+59flower underrated == not many people have my exact taste in music

@59flower

+AugustoDRA I'm not saying people have to have my exact taste in music. That's not what I meant at all. What I meant was that this song isn't really the most popular Daft Punk songs even though its unique, catchy, and vibrant. I feel it doesn't get enough recognition is all.
