The synth riff that drives Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger is Edwin Birdsong's Cola Bottle Baby from 1979, sped up and chopped into the hook. Daft Punk didn't hide it: the sample is the song, which is why Birdsong shares the writing credit.

How to find it

Play Cola Bottle Baby and listen for the keyboard riff behind the refrain. Daft Punk's version is the same phrase sped up, with the vocoder laid over it.
