How did I not know that PAUL freakin' Muppet Show / Smokey & The Bandit / "We've Only Just Begun" / "An Old Fashioned Love Song" / "RAINBOW CONNECTION" WILLIAMS wrote songs for this?! Man, I'm out of the loop but sooooooo damn excited for this.

So ready for this. I'm tired of the standard "EDM" bullshit out there that's sucking the soul out of good dance music.
I've probably watched this video 10 times since this morning. At first not into the Pharrell, but it's growing on me.

Sorry we haven't all rushed to post in your thread bro but it will be ok
Ha! Sorry man. I'll be more sensitive to peoples' sensitivities next time.
As far as Daft Punk goes... Man, I hope they do a collaborator profile with Paul Williams. I've loved that dude ever since Smokey & The Bandit and I really enjoyed the recent documentary on him.
Yes! It's fake. I was duped too. (Shared it off his FB page, I don't do the Tweeterz.) Still though, I've been listening to the fake version non-stop all afternoon.
(On a side note, King Moist also Tumblr'ed'ed Jai Paul's passport pic. Oh P*trick...)
#uhoh
the single that plays at the beginning of those interview videos has his touch ALL over it. in a good way.
Nile's right behind the 2 JBs in my personal pantheon
between rodgers and moroder in a collaborative effort with daft punk, this has instant classic written all over it. the rest of the names are just gravy.
Not to mention the fact that there were already two other threads about this release:
http://www.soulstrut.com/index.php/forums/viewthread/75711/
http://www.soulstrut.com/index.php/forums/viewthread/73037/
So you too started a new thread when there was an existing one? At least I'm not alone.
Even those got very little attention though. Oh well... Back to Facebook I go!
I'm sayin' though! LL's race-relations song, Jay-Z sparking White House press conferences...these are just two of the things I thought I would either hear about first here or at least see 5-pagers on. Nope.
pretty good for a faked re-edit.
sayin. I'm usually extremely turned off by this kind of internet hype, but this is sounding like it will be great for the whip and the dance floor this summer. Excited to hear the whole package.
Haha. Just the fact that the actual lyric is not *something-something GET FUNKY" improves the outlook for this album tremendously in my book.
I feel you. To be honest, I cut 'n paste some of my words to use both here and on FB when it makes sense to do so. I agree it's kinda silly to have multiple conversations going on but there are still some OGs 'round these parts that I'm not friends with on FB. (Of course, it doesn't help that I have an internet addiction.) As far as the newbies go, well...I've learned and/or been turned onto some stuff from them too so I don't mind hearing what they've got to say.
Anyways, back to the lesson at hand...
BTW have you guys heard this mashup of their 1st commercia w/ JT's Suit and Tie?

Yes, and to go with what I just posted above, here's exactly what I had to say about that on FB yesterday:
"You know what's crazy about this? Daft Punk released that short snippet on SNL. Before they even released the longer snippet with Pharrell, people had made their own remixes using the short snippet that was being played in clubs! (Well, speaking for myself, of course. I rocked the hell out of that Hood Internet "Suit & Tie" remix.)"
I wonder if that was anticipated at all? I mean, it could've potentially backfired on 'em, right? What if a remix was so good that it overshadowed the original before the original even had a chance to shine?? Or if a remix with that loop got so much play that people just tired of that main loop?
