Daft Punk

One of the reasons I like Michel Gondry so much is because he interprets music in ways that would never occur to me. An example of this his Daft Punk video for the track "Around the World", where he assigns each instrument a category of dancer and each category a specific choreography. The result is a music video that complements the music. I found a similar video today, its a single take video of some pretty intense pupeteering and I can't help wondering if the anthem "harder, faster, stronger, better" became the song of the roustabouts - "hour after hour work is never over".
