Infobox and lead

• While having the genres listed is good, the ones with the refs in the infobox should be written out with acid house in the body rather than invoking refs
• Lengths do not appear to match the body
• Mention only in the opening sentence that it is from their debut studio album, Homework (1997) and make the single release the second sentence
• ""Da Funk" received little attention" → "the song received little attention"
• The classics sentence should be the end of the lead instead and remove the ref
• "and its accompanying music video" → "and its music video" with the wikilink
• "A reversed clip of "Da Funk"" → "A reversed clip of the song"
• "American G-funk records: the bass was" → "American G-funk records: the bassline was" with the wikilinks
• Wikilink gangsta rap
• Pipe electro to Electro (music)
• "Bangalter also stated that the song's melody is meant to be" → "member Thomas Bangalter also set the song's melody to be" with the wikilink
• I would suggest for the acclaim and rankings, split into one sentence talking about what reviews praised about the song then another saying about rankings and listing some examples
• Commercial performance should be mentioned here in the lead since the song charted in many countries later on

Background

• Pipe 12-inch single to Twelve-inch single
• The anthology appearance and "Funk Ad" do not appear to be sourced
• "sold 30,000 copies." → "sold 30,000 copies up to the end of 1995." to be specific

Composition

• "of gangsta rap. They tried to" → "of gangsta rap, trying to" as these sentences are too short on their own
• Invoke the ref at the end of any sentences using direct quotes
• "it to hip hop."" → "it to hip hop"." per MOS:QUOTE
• Pipe electro to Electro (music)
• "aesthetic they were trying" → "aesthetic that Daft Punk were trying" as this is a new para
• The riff sentence does not appear to be sourced
• Try to add more info around the actual elements of the comp; for example you can take the G-funk groove, lead line and distortion pedal from Mixdown Magazine

Critical reception

• Re-word the Music Week review to something like "the song is a refreshing release for anyone who has been" before the quote starts to avoid overquoting
• "the French duo."" → "the French duo"." per MOS:QUOTE
• [16] should be invoked at the first sentence of the review too
• Put some of the NME review into your own words per WP:QUOTEFARM
• "declared it as" → "declared the song as"
• Put some of the ShortList review into your own words too per previous

Commercial performance

• Please create this section since the charts table has a lot of listings

Music video

• Img looks good!
• Wikilink music video
• I understand the synopsis does not need sources, however you need to add a source regarding the director
• Pipe anthropomorphic to anthropomorphism
• Remove overly obvious wikilink on New York City
• "a pair of children. He is" → "a pair of children, then he is"
• "His boombox annoys a bookseller on the sidewalk from whom Charles" → "Charles' boombox annoys a bookseller on the sidewalk from whom he"
• Add a dash before Tony Maxwell on the quote box to signify this is what he said himself and wikilink too
• "Thomas Bangalter has stated that" → "Bangalter has stated that"

Impact and legacy

• "the number one single" can you elaborate please – what year(s) or genre was this list for?
• Maybe it would do good to add some of the quotes from at least a few of the rankings?
• Pitchfork Media → Pitchfork and pipe to Pitchfork (website)
• "In 2011, it was featured" → "In 2011, the song was featured" but this is not sourced
• "Same year," → "In the same year,"
• Remove wikilink on NME
• "listed it in their" → "listed the track in their"
• "Same year," → "In the same year,"

Track listing

Charts

• Good

Certifications

Release history

References

• Copyvio score looks too high at 47.6%; please cut down the quote box from Vice to sort this out
• NPR Music → NPR on ref 1
• Remove the author from ref 2
• Pipe IPC Magazines Ltd to TI Media on ref 6
• What exactly makes Resident Advisor a reliable source on ref 5?
• theguardian.com → The Guardian with the wikilink on ref 7
• Pipe About.com to Dotdash Meredith and the date 2014-07-10 should be formatted consistently with the other refs on ref 9
• Cite BBC News as publisher with the wikilink on ref 10
• Pipe Vice to Vice (magazine) on ref 20
• Ref 21 is usurped and the archive will not load
• Add a work/publisher to ref 22
• Wikilink SNEP to itself on ref 48
• Wikilink Radio & Records on ref 54

Final comments and verdict
