Daft Punk Quiz: Guess the Song & Test Your Trivia

Two records play at once in a Daft Punk quiz: the hook up front and the older disco cut sampled underneath. Guess the Daft Punk song from the robot-house of 'Around the World' and 'One More Time' to the live disco of 'Get Lucky', then test your trivia on what they sampled and who sampled them back, since 'Harder Better Faster Stronger' became the spine of Kanye West's 'Stronger'. Tell 1997's Homework from 2013's Random Access Memories and find out how well you know the duo behind the helmets.

Daft Punk Trivia: The Samples Underneath

The disco records under the hooks, the helmets that hid two faces, and the Grammy night that crowned Random Access Memories.

Daft Punk stayed masked in public for nearly two decades; the robot personas took over around the 2001 'Discovery' era and were rarely dropped after.
'Harder Better Faster Stronger' (2001) became the backbone of Kanye West's 2007 hit 'Stronger', which looped its processed vocal into the hook.
'One More Time' (2000) is built on a sample of Eddie Johns' 1979 disco record 'More Spell on You', pitched and filtered past easy recognition.
Their 2013 album 'Random Access Memories' largely abandoned samples for live musicians, including Chic's Nile Rodgers on 'Get Lucky'.
Daft Punk scored the 2010 film 'Tron: Legacy' by pairing a full orchestra with their own electronic production rather than house loops, a favourite curveball in a Daft Punk quiz.

How Well Do You Know Daft Punk's Samples?

The house singles are easy points; the filtered-disco loops underneath are where the lead changes hands.

The robot-house singles (where casual fans score)

'Around the World', 'One More Time', 'Da Funk' and 'Harder Better Faster Stronger' are the ones most players can name from the opening loop. These four singles are where casual fans rack up quick points before the trickier rounds arrive.

The samples hiding underneath (where superfans pull ahead)

Much of the early catalogue is built on filtered disco. 'One More Time' rides Eddie Johns' 1979 'More Spell on You', 'Digital Love' lifts a George Duke hook, and 'Robot Rock' loops Breakwater's 'Release the Beast'. Name the source under the loop and you pull ahead.

When hip-hop sampled them back (the reverse trap)

The loop runs both ways. Kanye West's 'Stronger' is built on 'Harder Better Faster Stronger', and Busta Rhymes' 'Touch It' loops 'Technologic'. A Daft Punk round often hides inside a hip-hop hit, so the trap is spotting the duo where you least expect them.

The Random Access Memories pivot (where the year fools you)

In 2013 the duo leaned on live players far more than samples, though they never dropped sampling entirely ('Contact' still flips a found recording). Nile Rodgers laid down guitar on 'Get Lucky' and 'Lose Yourself to Dance', 'Instant Crush' handed the mic to Julian Casablancas of The Strokes, and Giorgio Moroder narrates his own story on 'Giorgio by Moroder'. The whole record chases the feel of 1979, so a guess-the-year round on Random Access Memories points at the wrong decade on purpose.
