    I believe it's about all the people who influenced/inspired Daft Punk. It would make sense given the title.

    I've slowed the track down and pitchshifted it up to make sure but Sonds like Mike Devon to me too Tom Allen is Todd Edwards en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Todd_Edwards Steevio is CVO "Chicago's Very Own" Glenn Crocker discogs.com/artist/CVO Dave Clarke is in the house not Dave Carter... also the reason why the tune suddenly plays backwards when they mention Dave Clarke en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DaveClarke%28techno_DJ%29 is he has been known to play things backwards

    I can't believe how incredibly wrong this list is (On pretty much all other lyric sites too). This is my favorite lyric site though, so let's get it right on here. =)

    This song is actually a sort of a tribute/remake of "Ghetto Shout Out" by Parris Mitchell(He's named in the song). See: youtube.com/watch A large number of these are Chicago Djs, all of them are major influences to Daft Punk. There are only three of these people that I either didn't change or couldn't find information on.

    Mark Dana in the house (Sounds like Mike Devon to me, but I can't be sure) Tom Allen's in the house (Sounds like Todd Arab to me, but I can't be sure) ***Dave Carter (I'm pretty certain this is Def club, which would translate to David morales [en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Morales])

    Can anyone figure out the last 3 for sure? I'm also not 100% sure on Brian Wilson, but I don't know which other Brian wilson they would be talking about.

    I'm assuming all this song is is randomely naming off people who are "in da house".

    This song makes me laugh, mostly because of the vocals.

    I notice some of them as predominantly Funk Artists

    It's not "Pat Melva in the house".

    It's actually "Van Helden's in the house."

    This is basically a shout-out to DP's influences.

    Man, nothing get's past you all... Funk artists - yeah, DP really owes alot to funk, as do all electronic musicians. Like alot of their tracks, this is really stupid and simple, but still alot of fun to listen to.
    Recipe: Take a vocal track, throw one up an octave and one down, each in one speaker, a simple beat and bass synth over it and voila! It is kinda punk really - hence their name. It probably took them 10 minutes to do.

    And yes, very funky. I love those fat, swelling synths...

    but what is the female vocal sample saying? "Teeach?"

    I don't think she's saying anything.

    Funk artists... yes... because as we all know, Dr. Dre is a funk artist.

    iGod, was that sarcasm?

    I hope not, ever heard of something called G-Funk? Yeah, that was Dr. Dre.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
