"One More Time" was the first taste of Discovery, Daft Punk's second album, landing on Virgin in November 2000, and it sounds like a party that refuses to end. Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo built it on a looped sample of Eddie Johns' "More Spell on You", then ran Romanthony's vocal through Auto-Tune until it gleamed like chrome. This is French house with its heart on its sleeve and its fists in the air.
Its video was later folded into Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem, a feature-length anime from 2003. The honors piled up: the Village Voice's Pazz & Jop critics' poll counted it among the year's best songs, Pitchfork put it among the decade's greatest, Rolling Stone added it to its 500 Greatest Songs of All Time, and Mixmag readers voted it the greatest dance record ever made.
