"Technologic"
Song

"Technologic" is a song by French duo Daft Punk from the album Human After All. It was released as a single on June 14, 2005. The chanted song lyrics relate to technological statements. The music video for "Technologic" was directed by Daft Punk.

The song was featured in an iPod advertisement shown in the summer of 2005. It was also featured in an ad for the Motorola E398 mobile-phone, aired in early 2005 in Brazil.

Structure

The song features an electronically pitch-raised voice chanting imperative statements related to technological pursuits. For example, "Plug it, play it, burn it, rip it, drag and drop it, zip-unzip it" are spoken in rhythm to a percussive beat.

A portion of the vocals were altered and used in the Busta Rhymes single "Touch It", produced by Swizz Beatz. In a remix of "Touch It" the lines from "Technologic" were sung by rap artist Missy Elliott.

Robot from the music video

The music video for "Technologic" is the third directed by Daft Punk, following "Fresh" and "Robot Rock". The video features the duo on a pyramid-themed stage playing the guitars shown in the single cover. It also shows a robot character that appears to chant the lyrics of the song. The lyrics flash as individual words of text on a television monitor set on the stage.

The pyramid design used in the video is similar to the scheme used in Daft Punk's recent live performances. The flashing lyrical text is integrated with the live version of "Technologic" on a large LED display utilized for their shows.

The music video is included in the CD/DVD edition of the album Musique Vol. 1 1993-2005.
