Talk:Get Lucky (Daft Punk song)

This isn't Disco.
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

Live performances and cover versions
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)

Analysis section
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)

What about the music video?
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)

Motown and Michael Jackson comparisons?
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 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)

reevaluate
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)

Plagiarism?

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.

GOCE copyedit request

 * 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)
