# Talk:Get Lucky (Daft Punk song)

Why is this song credited as Disco? It's more R&B/Funk-flavored than Disco. In Disco you generally have orchestral mixed bridges and heavy usage of synthesizers with a quicker tempo. The lyrical composition is also more uptempo. This song is more mid-tempo in relation to Funk with a chord progressing guitar arrangement line pervading throughout - which is a semblance of Funk and its celled onbeat/offbeat structure.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pentrazemine (talk • contribs) 23:20, 23 April 2013 (UTC) 

couldn't agree more. its quite clearly dubstep  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.105.185.139 (talk) 20:55, 28 April 2013 (UTC) 
[reply to above comment] That is the most ridiculous statement I've heard all day. Have you ever listened to Dubstep?
Someone doesn't get sarcasm

Should this section in the article exist? There's been a bit of back and forth in the edits between deleting and restoring, and I would just like to see what y'all done thunk 'bout it. Helicopter Llama 20:36, 10 May 2013 (UTC)

Part of it was in the "Background" section as I recall, but was spun off as a separate section. The info is tangentially related to the song, and I'm not sure what the criteria is for inclusion of such things in an article about the main version of the song. jhsounds (talk) 21:46, 10 May 2013 (UTC)

shouldn't we encourage analysis of song structure etc? JCJC777  — Preceding unsigned comment added by JCJC777 (talk • contribs) 14:51, 16 May 2013 (UTC) 

I agree that cited analysis should be included in the article. However, it would best be included in a more specific section, such as "Composition". My goal in merging the "minor chords" analysis into the "Reception" section was to avoid overlap with the existing "Background" and "Reception" sections, both of which contain compositional analysis. jhsounds (talk) 15:26, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

Anybody knows that this song onna have a music video??  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.169.149.85 (talk) 16:05, 21 May 2013 (UTC) 

Wikipedia talk pages are to discuss changes to the article, not a forum to discuss the article's subject in general. jhsounds (talk) 17:17, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
I think he means to add that to the page Puppet1949 (talk) 02:33, 5 February 2025 (UTC)
As it turned out, Daft Punk never released a full music video for "Get Lucky". They only released a trailer for Random Access Memories with a portion of the song performed in it. jhsounds (talk) 03:33, 5 February 2025 (UTC)

Is it relevent to include a section on the comparisons made by critics between Get Lucky and the Motown Sound, particularly the base line? And to the ensuing series of YouTube videos that where either pitch shifted [1] to sound as if it where sung by Michael Jackson, or mashed with performances by Michael Jackson or other Motown performers like The Supremes?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.65.14.233 (talk) 17:37, 30 May 2013 (UTC) 

Cited analysis of these comparisons from reputable sources may be appropriate for the article. It might make more sense to put such information in the "Reception" section, unless a large amount of prose warrants a separate section. jhsounds (talk) 20:18, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

I'm not sure how to go about this, but I'd like to know if this article qualifies for something better than "Start-class". I think that it's a little better than other "Start-class" song articles, but I'm not quite sure and would love to have someone more experienced than I evaluate this article. ~Helicopter Llama~ 16:37, 17 July 2013 (UTC)

This is somewhat shocking, but this is an emerging story and all, still, considerations of plagiarism should be kept in view if verifiable sources pick this up and thus offer us something we can publish in the article.

Reviewer: Tkbrett (talk · contribs) 10:20, 29 May 2021 (UTC)

Nile Rodgers, baby! I'll get through this one probably after the weekend. Watch this video about Rodgers in the meantime. Tkbrett (✉) 10:20, 29 May 2021 (UTC)


### Lead and infobox
You list this as the first Nile Rodgers single, but on the works section of his page it lists "Shady", Adam Lambert ft. Sam Sparro and Nile Rodgers (2012). Should that be indicated as coming before hand? This isn't meant to be a leading question, I don't know if that's how the song was actually credited, or if you would credit it as his single given he was a featured artist and not the main.
Added "Shady" to the infobox


### Background
Make sure you introduce or explain Chic and Rodgers. Someone who doesn't know about them will be confused why it matters the song was recorded in the same studio as Chic's first single.
Removed that info as it is not that important
"Rodgers told The Village Voice that American singer Pharrell Williams was interested in working with Daft Punk." This sentence's placement and wording is somewhat strange. It makes it sound like The Village Voice had something to do with connecting Williams and Daft Punk.
Removed The Village Voice part
I moved that sentence onto the start of the next paragraph, as it seems to work better there.


### Production
"Daft Punk re-recorded the bass part with Nathan East to fit Rodgers' performance" The wording makes it sound like three people were playing the bass. How about "Daft Punk had Nathan East re-record the bass part to fit Rodgers' performance." Or some variation.
Changed
"Chilly Gonzales also observed" -> observed is a word to watch
Reworded


### Music and lyrics
"Owen Pallet for Slate observed" -> observed again
Rewored
"He noted when the" -> Noted (or note) is also a word to watch
Changed


### Critical reception
""Get Lucky" received widespread acclaim from media outlets and music critics." This claim needs a citation.
""Get Lucky" has received many awards and nominations." So will this.
Removed both of those sentences.


### Credits and personnel
For what it's worth, WikiProject Albums mentions to not overlink common instruments, so I've removed the links to vocals, guitar, bass and drums.
Sounds good.


### References
copyvio score is 43.2% due to the Slate article. I think we just need to paraphrase these sentences just a little more: "Owen Pallet for Slate observed that the song can be heard in two different keys. He asserted most of the time it sounds as the though song is played in the minor mode of A Aeolian, which is a form of A minor, and appears as the third of the four chords on the line "We're up all night for good fun". The first chord of the progression is not played in A minor, rather D minor." The next value is 31%, so once the above is paraphrased we're good to go.
Reworded
Copyvio score is now 94.9% due to a Wikipedia Copycat. The next score is 35.9%, indicating a violation is unlikely.
After checking against freely available sources in several places, the article appears to be reliably referenced.


### Final comments and verdict
Cover image and audio sample are appropriately tagged as fair use and image of Williams is PD.
 On hold: A nicely written article. Once the above concerns are addressed then this should be a pass. Tkbrett (✉) 20:31, 1 June 2021 (UTC)
Tkbrett thanks so much for the review! I should have the GA review for Thinking of Linking ready by tomorrow afternoon. You know I'm shooting for the stars, aiming for the moon 💫 (talk) 21:59, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

The article sometimes uses serial commas for lists and sometimes it doesn't. I prefer serial commas myself, but it seems like there are more instances where it isn't used. Which would you prefer? —Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 03:06, 6 June 2021 (UTC)
He had joked that, "If you just want me to play tambourine, I'll do it." Is this important enough to remain in the article? The message wouldn't change if this sentence were completely excised. —Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 03:06, 6 June 2021 (UTC)
[...] the D minor is made each time [...] I've never heard of keys being "made". Would it be more appropriate to say [...] the song switches to D minor to [...]? —Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 03:06, 6 June 2021 (UTC)
British journalist Caitlin Moran speculates that the song's attractiveness [...] Wikilink removed. What's meant by "attractiveness"? It's not a quality I would ascribe to a song. Would "catchiness" work as an alternative? —Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 03:06, 6 June 2021 (UTC)
The song was leaked and broadcast on various radio stations days before it was released as a single. Already edited. Should a distinction between the song itself and its status as a single be made? The next sentence seems to conflate the two as the same thing. —Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 03:06, 6 June 2021 (UTC)
[...] Pazz & Jop annual critics' poll ranked "Get Lucky" at number one to find the best music of 2013. Wikilink removed, emphasis added. Is the emphasised part necessary? It sounds like an editorial remark, but is it supposed to be a paraphrase from the associated source:[...] seeking consensus from the minds of the men and women who live and breathe this stuff, about what the best musical works of the previous year were? —Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 03:06, 6 June 2021 (UTC)
[...] which made "Get Lucky" the country's best-selling single of the year thus far. Already edited. This statement is very likely stale by now. I think it should be changed to when the source reported it: December 2013. —Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 03:06, 6 June 2021 (UTC)
Looking forward to your responses! —Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 03:06, 6 June 2021 (UTC)

This article had an error that claimed the song had been performed on 'many television programmes'. Daft Punk famously don't perform live very often, and the only live performance of this song by Daft Punk on television was during the Grammys in which it was nominated.
I made this change and it was quickly reverted by @Shoot for the Stars without explanation. I am noting that:
- this error was made in a change in 2021
- I have reverted it back again to my edit, and that 
- if anyone wants to try and revert it back, they should acknowledge this comment and find evidence of 'many' television performances first. 2401:D002:9A03:7300:9940:C473:3088:24F6 (talk) 09:17, 23 February 2025 (UTC)

I am intrigued by the line of the song I quoted in the title. Does that mean "to have sex" or does it mean something else? Fandelasketchup (talk) 16:59, 19 August 2025 (UTC)
