''Homework'' is the debut album of French {{electronic|Music}} duo Music/DaftPunk, released on January 20, 1997.

The album's tracks weren't initially produced to end up on a body of work; according to band member Thomas Bangalter, they were compiled from projects intended to be separate singles created over a five-month span, after which he and fellow member Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo realized that these songs could make a decent album when put together.

* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: The music video of "Da Funk" features either a man walking around in a dog mask or a man with the head of a dog. Nobody who meets him finds this bizarre.

The success of the album, primarily through the strength of its singles (most famously "Da Funk" and "Around the World") [[GenrePopularizer brought worldwide attention]] to French house.

* IncrediblyLongNote: The opening guitar section in "Fresh" ends with a really long note that is held out for a time long enough to allow the song's beat to fade in.

* FunWithAcronyms: A DVD of the music videos for ''Homework'' was released with the title ''D.A.F.T.: A Story About Dogs, Androids, Firemen and Tomatoes''. Aside from spelling "Daft," this references elements of the videos themselves -- Charles, the anthropomorphic dog main character in "Da Funk" and "Fresh," the robots in "Around the World," the firefighters in "Burnin'," and the tomatoes in "Revolution 909."

* OneWordTitle: "Phoenix," "Fresh," "Teachers," "Burnin' " and "Alive."
* RearrangeTheSong: The album's finale, "Funk Ad," is merely a clip from "Da Funk" in reverse.

* StockSoundEffects: The crashing waves in the background of "Fresh."

* ListSong: "Teachers", which is essentially a list of shout-outs to all the musicians and DJs who inspired the band (their "teachers", if you will).

* ListSong: "Teachers", which is essentially a series of shout-outs to the artists who inspired the band (their "teachers", if you will).

* {{Dogfaces}}: The man in the music videos for "Da Funk" and "Fresh," although judging by [[https://i.pinimg.com/736x/be/0e/bf/be0ebff5b1e1d1dd9c2cef92b46967cd--punk-dog-dog-mask.jpg this]] it's more than just his head.

** In "Da Funk" a [[{{Dogfaces}} man walks around in a dog mask]] at night, but nobody who encounters him finds this strange. At one point he even meets a girl he knows from years before and from their happy reunion it seems that he apparently always looked that way. When she invites him to her house and is about to get on the bus it turns out he is not allowed to bring him ghettoblaster with him. This causes the dog man to turn back.

* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: The music video of "Da Funk" features a man walking around in a dog mask. Nobody who meets him finds this bizarre.

** "Around the World" repeats its title '''[[UpToEleven over 140 times]]'''.

* EpicRocking: A lot of the songs on this album are on the longer side; in fact, half of the songs are over five minutes long, with the longest being just over seven-and-a-half minutes ("Rock'n Roll" at 7:32)

** Most of the songs are defined by a certain element that is repeated. In "Burnin'" and "Rock'n Roll", it's a sliding sound. In "Rollin' and Scratchin'", it's a hard and heavy distorted sound.

* LimitedLyricsSong: "Around The World", only has one line.

* RearrangeTheSong: The album's finale, "Funk Ad", is merely a clip from "Da Funk" in reverse.

** From "Revolution 909": "'''STOP THE MUSIC AND GO HOME! I REPEAT, STOP THE MUSIC AND GO HOME!'''"

** "Around The World" features quartets of skeletons, mummies, men with tiny heads, men in space suits and women in bathing suits walking in circles. [[spoiler:Each one represents a different part of the music - the tiny-headed men are the bassline, while the space-suited men are the vocals, for example - and they only move when their part of the music is audible.]]

* TitleOnlyChorus: "Around the World", which is actually a title-only ''song''. The only words are "around the world/around the world" over and over again.

''Homework'' is a 1997 album that happens to be the debut work of Music/DaftPunk, a seminal duo that has been credited for [[TropeCodifier popularizing]] house music, let alone French house. The album wasn't initially made as an album; according to band member Thomas Bangalter, the album was compiled from songs created over a five-month span after the realization was made that these songs could combine to make a decent album. The album's Chicago-esque house sound got it many an accolade, being a commercial and critical success, and its [[GenreDeconstruction deconstruction]] of house music got the genre on a fast road to [[GenreRelaunch becoming hot on the scene once more]].
