Aiming for a rare third term in government, the Liberals blasted none other than Daft Punk's One More Time through the speakers as its candidates stood together on stage.

What unfolded next has been described as the "worst and whitest moment in Australian political history".

Politicians began robotically clapping and awkwardly bobbing to the electro-classic.

Credit to some, there was the odd fist pump, and Deputy Premier Liza Harvey did her best to make the cringeworthy scene seem less rigid with a classic mum hip shimmy.

Transport minister Bill Marmion topped it off with an enthusiastic high-five to Simon O'Brien MLCbut that unfortunately was about as lively as it got.

Meanwhile Treasurer Mike Nahan fled from the front row of the party quicker than you could say "debt crisis", leaving Ms Harvey to lead the boogie solo.

Footage of the dancing caught the attention of many on social media.

"The WA Liberals clapping robotically to Daft Punk will give me nightmares for years," wrote one Twitter user.

"WA Libs dancing and clapping to Daft Punk is top shelf footage, especially when it goes into the breakdown and they confusedly keep clapping," wrote another.

"If all Perth nightclubs where like the WA LIBS dancing awkwardly to Daft Punk I would be totally picking up every single weekend#WAvotes," wrote another.

One can only imagine how wild the party will be if they actually win the election.

Elaine Benes, you've got some competition.

Daft Punk wasn't the only music played during the campaign launches, with the Liberals and WA Labor both choosing to play AC/DC as their entrance songs.

Mark McGowan walked out to 1975 hit T.N.T, while Premier Colin Barnett strutted into the Liberal launch to Thunderstruck.
