Daft Punk is an electronic music band based in Paris, France. Much of their music has been used at one point or another but four songs seem to have caught on with the YTMND audience.

Songs used in fads

These songs have appeared in the YTMND Soundtrack compiled by fyrestorm.

"Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger"

This accompanies the Work It fad. The song's "Work It" nickname was made popular by a flash video featuring the video game character Kunio.

A minor fad involving synchronizing speech to the titular song.
