Daft Punk have a new wind beneath their wings after a musician released a cheek-clenching masterpiece: a note-for-note “fart cover” of the duo’s iconic track “Around the World.”
The flatulent rendition comes from Bohemian Fart Orchestra, whose slogan promises to “make the world a better place one fart at a time.” The anonymous producer has meticulously replaced every chord and synthesizer tone with precisely pitched farts, recreating the melody of Daft Punk’s classic in a rework the legendary robots might find both horrifying and hilarious.
And somehow, it works. Like an unfortunate case of pinkeye, the cover is surprisingly infectious and recognizable, maintaining the rhythmic quality of the original while adding layers of absurdist humor.
Bohemian Fart Orchestra even went as far as creating an animated video featuring a cheeky protagonist, an anthropomorphized butt with cartoonishly large cheeks who travels to various countries around the world. The globetrotting rump visits recognizable cityscapes and cultural landmarks from Berlin to Bangkok and even the North Pole.
Whether you find the cover brilliant or juvenile, there’s no denying it’s a fresh take on an electronic classic. You can watch the video below.
