"'''Technologic'''" is a song by [[France|French]] duo [[Daft Punk]] from the album ''[[Human After All]]''. It was released as a single on [[June 14]], [[2005]]. The [[music video]] for "Technologic" was directed by Daft Punk.
The song was featured in an [[iPod]] advertisement shown in the summer of 2005. It was also featured in an ad for the [[Motorola]] E398 mobile-phone, aired in early 2005 in [[Brazil]]. Additionally, the song was featured in an episode of ''[[The O.C.]]''.
==Structure==
The song features an electronically pitch-raised voice chanting imperative statements related to technological pursuits. For example, "Plug it, play it, burn it, rip it, drag and drop it, zip-unzip it" are spoken in rhythm to a percussive beat.
A portion of the vocals were altered and used in the [[Busta Rhymes]] single "[[Touch It]]", produced by [[Swizz Beatz]]. In a remix of "Touch It" the lines ''touch it, bring it, pay it, watch it/turn it, leave it, stop, format it'' were sung by rap artist [[Missy Elliott]]. Additionally, the music video for "Touch It" shows a group of young cheerleaders doing a routine while chanting the same line.
Elements of both "Technologic" and "Touch It" are featured in Daft Punk's live album ''[[Alive 2007]]''. The repeated line "[[fuck]] it" was also integrated in the ''Alive 2007'' tour.

The [[music video]] for "Technologic" is the third directed by Daft Punk, following "[[Da Funk#"Fresh" video|Fresh]]" and "[[Robot Rock (song)|Robot Rock]]". The video features the duo on a pyramid-themed stage playing the guitars shown in the single cover. It also shows a robot character that appears to chant the lyrics of the song. The lyrics flash as individual words of text on a television monitor set on the stage. The music video is included in the [[Compact Disc|CD]]/[[DVD-Video|DVD]] edition of the album ''[[Musique Vol. 1 1993-2005]]''.
The pyramid design used in the video is similar to the scheme used in Daft Punk's recent live performances. The flashing lyrical text is integrated with the live version of "Technologic" on a large [[Light-emitting diode|LED]] display utilized for their shows.
