Madison Avenue - Don't Call Me Baby
"French-style" because Madison Avenue is actually Australian, but I reckon it just owes so much to Daft Punk and the like. The vid isn't just glitter dance and posture; about halfway thru the DJ is showing off the creative process on his blobby iMac with an old copy of ProTools or something. The remaining shots show him slightly confused about why he's on camera.
According to Wikipedia, "The song features a bass line sample from Ma Quale Idea by Italo Disco artist Pino D'Angiò which in turn is based on Ain't No Stoppin' Us Now by McFadden & Whitehead." I dug them up, and it's pretty clear.
Pino D'Angiò - Ma Quale Idea
Never heard this Italian guy before, but it's cheesy chanty fun! One to add to my Italo-Disco guilty pleasures box. The aussies basically sped this up a a bit and put a new vocal on top. And they left the popcorny "boo!" synthdrums in as a lol.
McFadden & Whitehead - Ain't No Stoppin' Us Now
Ain't No Stoppin' Us Now is a proper classic you'll get on any essential dad-age disco mix. And while researching this, Wikipedia confirmed my suspicion that this was also sampled by the GTA2 soundtrack.
Davidson - All I Wanna Do
Pop eats itself, eh?
