"Get Lucky" was the lead single from Random Access Memories, the fourth and last Daft Punk album, and it landed on 19 April 2013 after snippets had already aired in ads during Saturday Night Live. The French duo of Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo surrounded themselves with players for this one: Nile Rodgers chopping out that springy guitar, Nathan East on bass, Omar Hakim on drums, and Pharrell Williams singing about the plain good fortune of clicking with somebody, with a wink of sexual chemistry.

It's disco and funk played straight, with a house pulse underneath, and critics fell hard for Williams's vocal and Rodgers's riffs. It handed Daft Punk their first US top 10, ruled the UK chart for four weeks and took Record of the Year at the Grammys.
