[edit] 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.
