Now people are going to think I have a Kanye West ringtone. I pulled out a short snippet of the Daft Punk song “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger”, because it sounds good on the dinky phone speaker, and I work too much. Almost the exact same sample is used in the background of a new West song, apparently. I make a point of not having popular music ringtones!
“Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger” from Discovery by Daft Punk
I think it’s hilarious that the Kanye song is a sample of a song based on a sample (cf. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discovery_(Daft_Punk_album) )
Kanye sampled the vocal portion, mostly, which I think was added by Daft Punk; Daft Punk took the baseline from Coke Bottle Baby (after listening online), but added their usual robosynth vocals.
