Pharrell Williams has created and collaborated on some catchy, danceable tunes. Quirky musical duo Pomplamoose take vocals from both Pharrell’s “Happy” and Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky” with a bit of “Lose Yourself to Dance” thrown in for good measure. The result — Happy Get Lucky — is a bubbly tune with an accompanying video that is equally playful, and done in one continuous take. Check it out below.

We rub a Mexican monkey.
Daft Punk’s lead single from their album Random Access Memories has received a lot of love from the Internet. The Daft Train got rolling, the late king of pop made an appearance on the track, and there was an incident with some chickens.
“Get Lucky” just got some 8-bit loving in this wonderful chiptune cover by YouTube user, Floating Point.
If you like it, you can download the MP3 from here.

Like vanilla ice cream and crunchy peanut butter, some things just go together. In this mashup, indie musician Jack Conte from Pomplamoose takes Daft Punk’s “Derezzed” from the Tron: Legacy soundtrack and combines it with elements from Hans Zimmer’s “Inception” soundtrack. It’s a VideoSong so you’ll see what you hear, and hear what you see. Check it out below.
BONUS: After the jump Conte covers the Super Mario Bros. theme song and then joins Nataly Dawn to take on Angry Birds.
If you’re like me and suffer the Sunday blues, then this mashup might bring a little smile to your face. Two dancers, Al Minns and Leon James, demonstrate a popular 1920s dance, the Charleston, to the tune of Daft Punk’s hit “Around the world”. Check it out.
See the original clip after the jump.
Every day at work I suffer fools, or is it atrophy? The words escape me for the moment. That’s because I’ve got tropical lounge beats knocking around in my head. The Chile-based Uwe Schmidt, or Señor Coconut, marries merengue and mambo rhythms with dead serious electronic music. I suppose you could call it electrolatino music.
Check out his cover of Daft Punk’s Around the World.
The single is taken off the album Around the World with Señor Coconut.

That other guy Tim over at Stalking Venus alerted me to a YouTube video of pro hooker doing cool tricks with smoke and things. Wanting to relive my time at Thailand’s Patpong market, I rushed over to “investigate”. What I found was not a pro hooker, but hookah pro Sumire Wakita blowing smoke rings. Somehow not the show I expected, but equally cool, I guess.
