We are going to continue with it anyway because we think a couple of important entries are missing from the timeline there, and somehow IT REALLY MATTERS NOW…

The original:

Music video

The animated music video for “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger” was produced by Daft Punk and directed by Kazuhisa Takenouchi, a veteran director for Toei Animation, under the supervision of Leiji Matsumoto. It features the four characters shown on the single cover in a vast electronic facility. The victims are transformed by various machines to resemble humans. The video was first released as an individual episode in promotion for the single release. It later appeared as a scene in the feature film Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem.

A music video for the live version of “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger” was directed by Olivier Gondry. It contains footage shot by the audience on 250 cameras at Daft Punk’s Brooklyn performance in KeySpan Park. The video was inspired by the Beastie Boys concert film Awesome; I Fuckin’ Shot That!.[1] The video had its world premiere online on 26 October 2007, at Webcastr.[9]

“Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger” is featured in a popular YouTube video titled “Daft Hands”,[10] which later appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.[11] The video is ranked among the top viewed YouTube videos in the “All Time” category.[10] “Daft Hands” was referenced in Weezer‘s “Pork and Beans” music video along with the variant “Daft Bodies” and multiple other Internet viral videos.

I think the rest are covered in the aforementioned timeline.  Be sure to call me names if I am wrong.
