Talk:Da Funk

Verify source

I had to remove this statement:

The track bears a heavy influence of G-Funk and said to be made after Bangalter & Homem-Christo had listened to west coast rap and g-funk for weeks time

The source in question is not English and seems to be self-published which violates WP:RELIABLE. A ISBN search doesn't provide further information about the statement made and I would love if information could be provided with a transcribe to English so I could allow the source to be added back in. ♫ Douglasr007 (talk) 01:12, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

30,000 copies in 1997. NONSENSE

THE single was a world hit It even reached the top 10 of the UK Charts. IT charted in germany after the success of AROUND THE WORLD and made it to # 65

and many more

it missed the US HOT 100 charts narrowly- It had healthy sales in the USA. But the HOT 100 CHARTS are based on Sales and Airplay. therefore AIRPLAY of the song was nearly zero

it reached #30 on the SINGLE SALES

therefore the INFORMATION 30,000 copies sold in 1997 is not reliable

Where it sold that sum ?

in the USA ?

IN THE UK

in france ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.15.237.46 (talk) 17:40, 29 September 2016 (UTC)

Year of release

I'm not comprehending the removal of sourced comments about the single's release.

Da Funk was initially released by Soma Records in 1995. The duo signed with Virgin in 1996. The single was released again - look at the EP which has both Soma and Virgin logos on it - in 1996. These statements are sourced. You don't go by the "most cited" date especially with record labels because it could be anything noted as exceptions in the notability guidelines for music-related articles. You're going to get the 1997 date from any streaming site or seller because they are obtaining that from the respective label.

Regardless of the most cited, this history is important to note because it's when the duo got signed to a major label. The transition from the different labels and also maintaining exclusive rights to the music is essential to note. The timeline needs to be there. It's more critical in the Homework article also. – The Grid (talk) 00:37, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

1995 is the first date and should be listed first. The next, most famous release, comes second. Binksternet (talk) 02:03, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

Independent coverage

Are there any sources that cover this independently, as opposed to database entries, coverage of the whole album, or ranked song lists? Thebiguglyalien (talk) 12:51, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

Infobox and lead

• While having the genres listed is good, the ones with the refs in the infobox should be written out with acid house in the body rather than invoking refs
• Lengths do not appear to match the body
• Mention only in the opening sentence that it is from their debut studio album, Homework (1997) and make the single release the second sentence
• ""Da Funk" received little attention" → "the song received little attention"
• The classics sentence should be the end of the lead instead and remove the ref
• "and its accompanying music video" → "and its music video" with the wikilink
• "A reversed clip of "Da Funk"" → "A reversed clip of the song"
• "American G-funk records: the bass was" → "American G-funk records: the bassline was" with the wikilinks
• Wikilink gangsta rap
• Pipe electro to Electro (music)
• "Bangalter also stated that the song's melody is meant to be" → "member Thomas Bangalter also set the song's melody to be" with the wikilink
• I would suggest for the acclaim and rankings, split into one sentence talking about what reviews praised about the song then another saying about rankings and listing some examples
• Commercial performance should be mentioned here in the lead since the song charted in many countries later on

Background

• Pipe 12-inch single to Twelve-inch single
• The anthology appearance and "Funk Ad" do not appear to be sourced
• "sold 30,000 copies." → "sold 30,000 copies up to the end of 1995." to be specific

Composition

• "of gangsta rap. They tried to" → "of gangsta rap, trying to" as these sentences are too short on their own
• Invoke the ref at the end of any sentences using direct quotes
• "it to hip hop."" → "it to hip hop"." per MOS:QUOTE
• Pipe electro to Electro (music)
• "aesthetic they were trying" → "aesthetic that Daft Punk were trying" as this is a new para
• The riff sentence does not appear to be sourced
• Try to add more info around the actual elements of the comp; for example you can take the G-funk groove, lead line and distortion pedal from Mixdown Magazine

Critical reception

• Re-word the Music Week review to something like "the song is a refreshing release for anyone who has been" before the quote starts to avoid overquoting
• "the French duo."" → "the French duo"." per MOS:QUOTE
• [16] should be invoked at the first sentence of the review too
• Put some of the NME review into your own words per WP:QUOTEFARM
• "declared it as" → "declared the song as"
• Put some of the ShortList review into your own words too per previous

Commercial performance

• Please create this section since the charts table has a lot of listings

Music video

• Img looks good!
• Wikilink music video
• I understand the synopsis does not need sources, however you need to add a source regarding the director
• Pipe anthropomorphic to anthropomorphism
• Remove overly obvious wikilink on New York City
• "a pair of children. He is" → "a pair of children, then he is"
• "His boombox annoys a bookseller on the sidewalk from whom Charles" → "Charles' boombox annoys a bookseller on the sidewalk from whom he"
• Add a dash before Tony Maxwell on the quote box to signify this is what he said himself and wikilink too
• "Thomas Bangalter has stated that" → "Bangalter has stated that"

Impact and legacy

• "the number one single" can you elaborate please – what year(s) or genre was this list for?
• Maybe it would do good to add some of the quotes from at least a few of the rankings?
• Pitchfork Media → Pitchfork and pipe to Pitchfork (website)
• "In 2011, it was featured" → "In 2011, the song was featured" but this is not sourced
• "Same year," → "In the same year,"
• Remove wikilink on NME
• "listed it in their" → "listed the track in their"
• "Same year," → "In the same year,"

Track listing

• Good

Charts

• Good

Certifications

• Good

Release history

• Centre the ref column

References

• Copyvio score looks too high at 47.6%; please cut down the quote box from Vice to sort this out
• NPR Music → NPR on ref 1
• Remove the author from ref 2
• Pipe IPC Magazines Ltd to TI Media on ref 6
• What exactly makes Resident Advisor a reliable source on ref 5?
• theguardian.com → The Guardian with the wikilink on ref 7
• Pipe About.com to Dotdash Meredith and the date 2014-07-10 should be formatted consistently with the other refs on ref 9
• Cite BBC News as publisher with the wikilink on ref 10
• Pipe Vice to Vice (magazine) on ref 20
• Ref 21 is usurped and the archive will not load
• Add a work/publisher to ref 22
• Wikilink SNEP to itself on ref 48
• Wikilink Radio & Records on ref 54

Final comments and verdict

•  On hold until all of the issues are fixed; I look forward to your response! --K. Peake 20:15, 16 October 2024 (UTC)
