You probably know that Daft Punk are two French guys who dress like robots and had a small role in 'Tron: Legacy.' But did you know that they were originally a trio with one of the guys in Phoenix? It's one of the 10 Things You Didn't Know About Daft Punk.

Central Press, Hulton Archive They were originally named after a Beach Boys song In the early '90s, before they formed Daft Punk, Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo led a band called Darlin', which was named after a 1967 Beach Boys song. They're fans.

William Vanderson, Hulton Archive, Getty Images They took their name from one of their early, bad reviews A review of Darlin' in Melody Maker referred to the group as "daft punky thrash." So Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo disbanded their old group and formed a new one.

LCD Soundsystem wrote two songs about them New York City band LCD Soundsystem referenced Daft Punk in their 2002 debut single, 'Losing My Edge.' Three years later, they released 'Daft Punk Is Playing at My House' on their first album.

Their robot costumes were mocked on ‘Flight of the Conchords’ In an episode of the hipster comedy 'Flight of the Conchords,' the New Zealand indie-folk duo made a video for a song featuring shoddy-looking robots. "It doesn't look like Daft Punk," they lament.

They have their own Coca-Cola line In 2011, Coca-Cola produced and distributed a limited-edition bottle, available only in France, designed by the duo and based on their robot costumes. The bottles were called Daft Coke.
