Daft Punk commemorate Barack Obama's inauguration

To commemorate Barack Obama's inauguration as the 44th President of the United States today (January 20), Daft Punk have released a new video for their song 'Aer Obama'.

The tune is Freeland's remix of the French duo's hit 'Aerodynamic', and features a singalong shout-out to Obama spelled out on a Speak & Spell device.

The video features stop-motion animation and a video montage of Obama images, as well his likeness as a little plastic doll.
