"Short Circuit" is the twelfth track from Daft Punk's second studio album, Discovery. It is probably one of the earliest tracks created for Discovery, as a beta version of the song was played before performances of "Da Funk" at some Daftendirektour appearances. It can be heard at the very beginning of the 45-minute recording of "Alive 1997", the only official release of the Daftendirektour.

Music video[]

Like all songs from the album Discovery, the music video for "Short Circuit" is a scene from the film Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem, which features no dialogue, but rather songs from Discovery throughout the whole film.

Samples used[]

  • "The Ballad of Dorothy Parker" by Prince (not directly sampled; redone by Daft Punk)

Sampled in[]

  • "Starstruck" by M-Flo featuring Ai, Emi Hinouchi and Rum
  • "Short Circuit" was used in the video game DJ Hero mixed with Boogie Down Productions' "Jack Of Spades" and also the "Daft Punk Megamix 2" (Robot Rock, Da Funk, Short Circuit)
