I once worked a 12 hour shift at a MarketPro computer show booth where, I shit you not, the booth next to us was selling computer speakers and the guy running it let his child play Around The World on repeat all day.

No other songs

No break

No reprieve

Just almost 12 straight hours of Around The World.

I loved that song, but to this day I can't tolerate hearing it without triggering something akin to PTSD

Based kid

[-] Vespair@lemm.ee 19 points 9 months ago

No argument here. As annoying I found it, kid was still an absolute legend

I just happen to have the perfect video for you

[-] Vespair@lemm.ee 6 points 8 months ago

Oh my friend, if you think that version has not been sent to me many many times since this story happened, you are sorely mistaken.

144 times on the album version, 80 on the radio edit.

[-] Wilzax@lemmy.world 75 points 9 months ago

Me in 2024 when a robotic voice says "Around the world" any even number of times

[-] EdibleFriend@lemmy.world 67 points 9 months ago

Yeah but that shit rocked yo

[-] TheAlbatross@lemmy.blahaj.zone 54 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Shit STILL rocks. When you're at the peak of your roll and the DJ whose been fairly on point all night throws it back with some of the best mergers of Electronica and Disco to land on vinyl?? Oh! Magic. Do you think they'll play Stardust???

[-] state_electrician@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 9 months ago

Music sounds better with you

[-] Taniwha420@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Oooh baby, it feels right.

[-] TheAlbatross@lemmy.blahaj.zone 36 points 9 months ago

That shit still slaps when it comes on at the club

[-] thefluffiest@feddit.nl 28 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Brilliant song indeed, but where’s the praise for Michel Gondry’s iconic videoclip?

[-] LesserAbe@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago

Good song, good video! Good live version too

[-] ULS@lemmy.ml 27 points 9 months ago

Around the world around the whiirrlled.

[-] PrimeErective@startrek.website 8 points 9 months ago

Visualize whirled peas

[-] Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works 25 points 9 months ago

Anyone who hasn't heard the live version of this from Alive 2007, go bless your ears and heart with it right now. Absolutely one of the greatest live albums ever made.

[-] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 21 points 9 months ago

Wasnt even robotic, just a synth on top of human voice.

[-] bstix@feddit.dk 22 points 9 months ago

They used a talkbox, so technically it's the voice modulating the synth carrier.

[-] TheOakTree@beehaw.org 8 points 9 months ago

Well technically, it's not a voice modulating the synth but rather the shape of your mouth. It's not your voice if you aren't producing your own sound, I'd argue.

[-] bstix@feddit.dk 3 points 9 months ago

Sure, it's not a voice, just the shape of a voice, so to speak.

Anyway my point was that its not a synth on top of a voice, which would indicate an addition of sounds. It works more like a subtractive filter, which again actually works by multiplication. It's physical though, so no math is actually done to carry it out and there's no resolution on the effect, since it was done on analogue equipment.

[-] TheOakTree@beehaw.org 2 points 9 months ago

I know, I just wanted to "technically" your "technically" to be silly :P

[-] DessertStorms@kbin.social 13 points 9 months ago

Thanks, now I have it stuck in my head (though it's not a bad track, so I'll take it lol)

It also led to the most brutally sarcastic lyrics page on all of Genius

[-] THE_MASTERMIND@feddit.ch 3 points 9 months ago

Thanks i hate it

[-] citrusface@lemmy.world 14 points 9 months ago

That's sad. Daft Punk slaps. But to each their own.

[-] THE_MASTERMIND@feddit.ch 2 points 9 months ago

I like some of it not this one though

[-] citrusface@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

All good man, you are allowed to like what you like, no judgement here.

As someone into lyrics and complex songs, that song bored me to tears. The repetitiveness is a right turn off for me. Even a monkey can be learned to copy and paste, but the real musical talent is in transitioning into new melodies.

It is the same as with the "Push me, and then just touch me" song.

I can't listen to either of them without getting irritated to how little effort was put in them.
