I was watching the video diaries by the various artists who worked on the recent Random Access Memories album with Daft Punk and one part really got me. It was in the Nile Rodgers interview, and if you don't know, Nile is responsible for one of the most influential and recognizable guitar styles in music, specifically that of disco and dance music. Chances are you've heard his handiwork in various different places.

Anyway, he was asked by the interviewer if he could play his guitar part from this song I'm showing you right now, and as he was playing and listening to the song with his headphones, he got this big smile on his face and afterwards remarked that he forgot how cool the groove was.

That's what this song is and that's why I love it. There's just this infectious groove that anchors the track, and the way that the guitar melody travels and keeps it all going is just fantastic. It's honestly one of my favorite guitar riffs now. I really enjoy Pharell's voice here and I think the fact that he really sticks to a strict melody helps the groove remain the main focus. Daft Punk aren't slouches either, as they provide a really awesome vocoder section, with my favorite part at around 3:02 where you just hear "EVERYBODY ON THE FLO-OOOOOR" over and over again.

I'd be listening to this while I was out and about and I would just start strutting without thinking about it. No wonder I keep getting weird looks when I'm heading to work or walking the dog!

Hell, I wouldn't mind dancing like the people in the video if it wasn't for some weird looks I'd get, haha.

But seriously, this song was just made for moving, and if don't find yourself at least bobbing your head then you have no soul.
