Daft Punk – ‘Robot Rock’
“Rock, robot rock,” the words go (repeat). Despite its self-described genre as “rock for robots,” the song is the most repetitious type of dancing tune possible. The rock aspect is represented by a distorted guitar chord and robotically monotone vocals that seem more like percussion. Little electronic fairy dust and false textures dance around the riff, creating an addictive groove that is difficult to shake. Your feet, on the other hand, may make an attempt.

Franz Ferdinand – ‘Do You Want To’
Franz Ferdinand showed their irresistibility and appealing dance-rock sensibility with their debut. The same vibe is carried over to their second album, 2005’s You Could Have It So Much Better, in the single track “Do You Want To,” which is catchy and persistent in the most cloistering way possible. The beat is more like a stomp, and the simple chorus repetition is occasionally substituted by brain-tickling “Doot-Doos” that won’t leave your head anytime soon. Here’s a band that can’t seem to write a forgettable song.
