This music video has a girl walking through New York to get to the studio of that the band is at. It is done like stop-motion animation with there being different black and white pictures of the girl at different times of the journey. Then there is pictures of the band in there studio performing or standing around a glitter ball. The photos were taken by KINo and the video made as well. The song was released on 1^st February 2010 with 1000 vinyl copies as well. The song reached 120 in the UK charts in December 2010. The song was not released on the radio. When recoding the song they didn’t have a fourth member of the group so the piano and synthesizer is a backing track. There is also a remix version of the song that is only evaluable on the Japanese album. They way that this shows of the band is by having them performing and it fits the song by having someone trying to find their way through the city.

Then they start having the adults around them start to shout and then at the end of the song they start to shout and let it all out. It was directed by Ryan Smith and film in Los Angeles.

Daft punk - The prime time of your life

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QwRlt1XyOg0

This music video start off with a skull opening and closing its mouth that then is revealed to be in the reflection of an eye from a girl. It shows her in her room hiding behind her pillow while watching TV. On the TV all of the people are skeletons that seem to be living apart from Daft Punk that appear on it.  She then gets up and goes towards her dresser and looks at the photos that is on it. She then picks one of them up and looks at it. She then has a flashback with her on the beach (all of the people in the photos are skeletons). Then you see a picture of her with two friends playing with a skipping rope (she looks over weight in them).  She then goes in to the bathroom and looks in the mirror and then finds a razor blade in a drawer and cut the skin off her hand. Seeing that there is no blood see cut the skin of her face and then the top half of her body. You see the reflection of her in the mirror and then see falls to the ground and her parents come in the room and they are not skeletons and you see them run to her on the floor. You then see the pictures (everyone is normal in them) and then her running to her friends plating with them as a skeleton. The video was directed by Tony Gardner. It was remixed with two of their other songs Brainwasher and Rolling and scratching. It also was released on DVD when the CD was out. It did not have a chart rating at all. The way that this fits the sound is by saying that you don't need to change and that you are at the prime time right now.They way that they show the band is not very well as they are only in the video very shortly but it goes to they wired side.
