VIDEO: Daft Punk Can Spell O-B-A-M-A

A new song called "Aer Obama" by Daft Punk vs Freeland in honor of the USA's president-elect Barack Obama hit teh internets today. In the video the French house duo, normally only seen in robotic form, are played by teddy bear shaped robots with a myriad of tiny toys. The song consists of three lyrics: "O. B. A. M. A." "Say it." and "You are correct." - all samples of a Speak & Spell. The sound is classic Daft Punk, electric guitars and an electronic beat that you probably have to be euro trash to really get. But it's the ridiculously simple political statement that makes the song worth a listen, and the trippy video worth watching: Via Towleroad.
