Just dance, the lip synching looks so dumb.

Wow, very cool. I wonder how they sped up the video. My guess is she danced on a slowdowned version which was then sped up again.

Nothing special. I see someone do this every year when I go christmas tree shopping.

That's exactly what they do... play a slowed down version for her to dance to, then speed the footage up by the same percentage to match her moves to the real song. Pretty sure she's doing moves from the "Around the World" video. It was pretty cool until she started lip synching.

she was probably lip synching to stay in time with the music - normally when you try to dance to a slowed-down version of a song, you need a way to remember what place you're at - some people can do it all in their heads after one or two times, but others just lip-synch to make it easier.

So when the lights go out... is that her getting out of range of the driveway's motion-sensing light?

What makes this most enjoyable is how happy she is losing herself in it. Its been a while since I have seen people have fun on the camera, and it actually came off sincere.

Pretty cool for an amateur.

@budzos, it doesn't really look like the Around the World choreography. I think she's just making it up.

Daft Punk's newest project (Electroma) isn't even music... they're doing a film and using other artist's music.

@Farhad: well said mate.

And her giant tuque thing is oddly compelling.

I never thought i will do this horrible thing one day bu FAAAAAAAAKEEEE!!!!

we can easily see is frame by frame animation.

Nobody can dance in a so robotic way, even a techno dancer.

is either fake or a ''robot mime'' performance disquise in dance performance

NB: is a animation student and techno fan opinion

indeed does a young lady appear to be on something, though that could be prejudices brought on by the silly hat.

I just want to say: I've watched her dance about eight times now and I'm stil not tired of it. She's amazing, inventive and joyful. Would that we were all so gifted and motivated to do something so effing thrilling. To all those who are doing her down for whatever dull personal reasons: let's see YOU do it.

This is totally obviously recorded at slow speed and sped up... but honestly, I at least really don't care. Looks fun.

Had to modify tags to make it appear on a search for "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger".

This video is still awesome after the 20th time of watching it. I think this has real staying power.
