Music video screenshot

Wouldn't it be better to include a useful screenshot of the music video, like a screenshot of the scene where they are both on top of the pile of underwear? Jvaspad (talk) 18:15, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Georgeykiwi: I agree that the article would be better with such a screenshot.--Laun chba ller 10:14, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Have switched the image to this, thanks for the suggestion! George (talk) 12:05, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I'll bite. Where would you expect that link to go?--Laun chba ller 11:00, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If I didn't know what the song was, I would have no clue. My best guess (haha) would be an article about a publicity stunt or charity program by the artists. DYK hooks shouldn't require special knowledge (WP:DYKINT) — PerfectSoundWhatever (t; c) 03:59, 13 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Daft Punk writing credit.

Since the song is chorus is a direct interpretation of the main loop from Technologic by Daft Punk, I was wondering if potentially the duo would get a writing credit as with other artists who have been sampled/interpolated Finka08 (talk) 22:20, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
