"Da Funk" and its accompanying video directed by Spike Jonze are considered classics of 1990s house music.〔 A reversed clip of "Da Funk" was also released on ''Homework'' as "Funk Ad", which is the final track on the album. ==Background== "Da Funk" was initially released as a 12 inch single in 1995 under the Soma Quality Recordings label, with the B-side "Rollin' & Scratchin'". The pressing was limited to 2,000 copies and was "virtually ignored" according to a ''Muzik'' magazine feature at the time. The single received a boost in popularity when The Chemical Brothers incorporated it into their live shows. Subsequently the British duo's song "Life Is Sweet" was remixed by Daft Punk for a single release in August 1995.〔Bush, C. (1997), Frog Rock, ''Muzik'', IPC Magazines Ltd, London, Issue No.21 February 1997.〕 Daft Punk eventually signed with Virgin Records in late 1996 after a bidding war amongst several labels. "Da Funk" was re-released by Virgin with the B-side〔James, Martin. ''French Connections: From Discotheque to Discovery''. London, United Kingdom: Sanctuary Publishing Ltd., 2003. pg 273. (ISBN 1-8607-4449-4)〕 "Musique", a track that later appeared in the album ''Musique Vol. 1 1993–2005''. The duo's debut album ''Homework'' features "Da Funk" as well as a reversed excerpt titled "Funk Ad". Daft Punk expressed that they wanted to make the album balanced by distributing tracks evenly across each of the four vinyl sides.〔Warner, Jennifer. ("Interview with Daft Punk" ). p. 3. ''DMA''. About.com. Retrieved on 30 March 2007.〕 "Da Funk" went on to sell 30,000 copies in 1997. The prominent French club magazine ''Coda'' named it the number one single with 33 percent of the vote.〔 In September 2010 Pitchfork Media included the song at number 18 on their ''Top 200 Tracks of the 90s''.〔(Pitchfork Top 200 Tracks of the 90s )〕 In 2011, the song was featured in the video game ''Top Spin 4''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Da Funk」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
