Draft Punk

Remember this iPod ad?



The song was unique, so I looked for the band.
Too bad I mis-read their name as 'Draft Punk'.

Oops.

Didn't re-find - Daft Punk - again for ages.

Not til I saw their distinctly different video,
'Something About Us'. (below)

note: The light show is on their helmets !



Like those people that mis-hear song lyrics, I just added an extra letter to the actual band name. But it made me feel better to find out (via Google) that I wasn't the only one - still over 20,000 hits if you search for 'Draft Punk' - ha!

But I just can't figure out why these two French guys would not only sing in English, but they also, after a bad review where an English critic called their music, "a bunch of daft punk", name their band that. In English.

Just a bit odd.

As odd as their whole LED-helmets thing.

How about here (below) instead, since
these folks really seem to be enjoying lunch:



'Don't sing a song, man !' ... ha!
