My Name Is Giovanni Giorgio

About

My Name Is Giovanni Giorgio refers to a series of remixes made from the spoken-word introduction to the song "Giorgio By Moroder" by Daft Punk. The introduction is spoken by Italian electronic musician Giorgio Moroder, who talks about getting started in music. He ends his monologue with "My name is Giovanni Giorgio, but everyone calls me Giorgio" before the main beat of the song begins. In remixes, Moroder says the line and various characters dance once the beat comes in.
