Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Robot Rock. By Songfacts®.

Daft Punk were very much committed to their android personas, always wearing their costumes in public. In this song they play that part, laying down heavy riffs with the line "rock, robot rock," repeated over and over in a synthesized voice.

Much of the track, including the guitar and keyboard, is built from samples of "Release The Beast," a 1980 song by a Philadelphia funk band called Breakwater.

Thomas Bangalter of Daft Punk told Q magazine (December 2007), the song is "a tribute to the power of heavy rock chords. In a way I think we were exploring if you can take the essence of rock - that power - and mix it with dance. But to take a riff and loop it is to explore the core of rock."
