Hahah so true the gods watch you so you can't watch them :)

[Daft is my Life]

I was like: wait, wut, a dog??

I already heard the song, first discovered some songs, then the clips :p

[Hiroko]

At first I was like


THAT IS A BIG DOG


Then I was like


The music is the only thing keeping him going. D;

[digitallove94]

I was seriously confused, the music sounded great, at first the dog made no sense to me and then after watching it a few times it all came together. Great music video!

[AnonymsDogMan]

I only saw it about a year ago when I finally found a copy of D.A.F.T. I didn't particularly like the video clip. I think that there is some point to it that I am missing, and it irritates me a little because it distracts from the song.
I liked Fresh's video clip more simply because of the technical aspects of the single shot the whole way through.

[theworldisdaft]

On the Internet, this joke is OVERPLAYED!!!!!!!!
but for srs, i got into homework after discovery, so a dog with a boombox was nothing compared to smurf aliens that played house music.

[AnonymsDogMan]

I just don't get the point of the video clip, just seems random and irrelevant.

[technodude5]

And oversized dog.

yes, what does he represent?

[Xenomorph171]

All I know was I was thinking "what the hell is this?" But only ten seconds in, it became one my my favorites of their songs and still is.

[something awesome]

yes, what does he represent?

an oversized dog.

[theworldisdaft]

ANYWAY BACK ON TOPIC

[Randall Copter]

OMG the first time I watched Da funk I was like ****ting myself with exsightment.

[AnonymsDogMan]

When I first watched it was confused and didn't really think it was that great. I just didn't see the point. :\

[Hiroko]

At first I was like, "What's with the dog."

Then I was like, "He can't live without 'da funk.' Right on."

[SkipMonkey]

well let's think what you would think if you saw an actual dog just walking around a big city. you'd think, what is that dog doing here, he shouldnt be here.

sort of like how charlie the dog-boy just moved into the city, he doesn't feel like he belongs, he's out of place compared to everyone around him, and thus they just treat him like a dog.

that's my take at least

[Daft_girl7]

I thought it was neat but somewhat odd at first lol. I like all of their videos because you sometimes don't know what to expect.

.....great

[Mr. Hoosteen]

for those who dont know TB said the Da Funk video had no meaning

[dftclem]

The first time I saw it I said to myself "that's a huge dog" but after watching it a few time I understood that the dog didn't meant anything.
:wow:

[Bouncebag]

for those who dont know TB said the Da Funk video had no meaning

Here is what he said (in an interview) "There's no story. It is just a man-dog walking with a ghetto-blaster in New York. The rest is not meant to say anything. People are trying to explain it: Is it about human tolerance? Integration? Urbanism? There's really no message. There will be a sequel someday."
- Thomas Bangalter (97/98)

I first saw it when I first got into daft punk, it was the third music video of daft punk's i saw, first being Around the World and second being Burnin'.
