But sometimes we forget that there were two other official singles from that album, remembered mostly by Daft Punk's hardcore fanbase, though not by the masses, one of which was "Revolution 909", released over a year after Homework in February 1998. The album is mostly known for its two popular singles: "Around the World", with its unmistakable vocal hook and simple but highly effective bassline and "Da Funk", with its absolutely growlingly-good bass hooks. Their debut album, Homework, was a breath of fresh air to the electronic music community, even if I didn't think it was a solid 10/10 album in my own review.

As she is preparing tomato sauce, subtitles accurately instruct the viewer on the recipe for making the sauce for spaghetti.

This triggers a flashback beginning with a tomato seed being planted, then sprouting, then harvested and then packaged.

The music video for this track shows a rave taking place in an alley. They don't understand this music which is really violent and repetitive, which is house they consider it dumb and stupid. There's drugs everywhere, but they probably wouldn't have a problem if the same thing was going on at a rock concert, because that's what they understand. They pretend it's drugs, but I don't think it's the only thing. I don't think it's the music they're after, it's the parties. When asked on the motivations of the stance, Bangalter said: The opening skit in "Revolution 909" is said to be a reflection on the French government and its stance against rave parties.
