Around the World

So I decided that half the fun with Michel Gondry videos (and really music in general) is trying to figure out "just what is going on." So from now on I am going to post a video and ask you, the viewers, to tell me what is going on. It may be simple, it may be complex, but there will always be something in the video that you in some sort of way have to figure out. For example, in "Star Guitar," you had to determine that each passing object was going with a certain beat. This next one, "Around the World" by Daft Punk is both obvious and hard to articulate at the same time. I will give you a hint: there is a reason there are 5 different "types" of people/dancers. Any guess will do, but remember, the music and the video coincide in some way. The person that is the closest or most specific wins. Good luck. Oh and folks, I consider the internet a cheap cop out to finding the real answer so try not to use it.
