03/Daft Punk featuring Nile Rodgers & Pharrell Williams/Get Lucky
One day, four men of different backgrounds and musical proficiencies came together to make a song. And at the outset, they did not know how it would go or turn out, but eventually they knew it had to jam, and that it had to be funky. That it would draw from the best of their musical proclivities (disco, funk, and rhythm & blues, respectively), and that it would all come together beautifully. It has to be catchy and memorable, they said. A sing along for the ages, grabbing you from the outset like a Billie Jean or a Maneater. And it will stretch and breathe and repeat itself without wearing out its welcome, cause it moves you and turns you on. Yes, they did not know what would become of their collaborative effort at the outset, but once things got going it all came together, and the fellas nailed it. The gentlemen got lucky.
