The Ballad Of Daft Punk

Prince - The Ballad Of Dorothy Parker

Yet another Prince track? Hell why not, the guy deserves it. Besides, this track's kinda funny to hear, as it seems Daft Punk took some heavy inspiration from it for Short Circuit, a track from their Discovery album. Maybe a tribute of sorts?

Exhibit A: They did a tribute thing on the album before with the Supertramp-like breakdown in Digital Love. Very smooth. Let's hope the One More Time vocal wasn't a Cher tribute though.

Exhibit B: Those drums at the start of Human After All remind of Prince as well. And this Prince track starts with a little drum roll at the start, like Short Circuit does.

Exhibit C: I remember them being very enthousiastic in an interview with a Dutch music mag when the reporter asked if they were influenced by Prince for Discovery.

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I rest my case. Now forget about all this b.s. and just enjoy this wonderful track! :)

Next week: sounds of trains speeding up that inspired Prime Time Of Your Life's grand finale.
