Evolution of Get Lucky by PV NOVA: Video

I featured this wonderful take on Daft Punk's Get Lucky which reinterprets the song in the style of earlier decades in chronological order in June, but thought another mention of it might be deserved on account of the new video.

PV NOVA, the Paris-based producer behind the track asked people to send in videos interpreting the historic versions of the songs, and received 179 videos in the space of a month.

38 of these were incorporated into the final edit to illustrate a century's worth of Get Lucky.

Of course, I'm sure there will be fuller versions, covers and remixes of the 'historic' versions to emerge in due course.

PV NOVA's debut album Start Again is available to download. You can set your own price for the download album, either take it for free or donate through Paypal, which will help him with his future musical projects.

Evolution of Get Lucky: PV NOVA

With the endless online cover versions and remixes of Get Lucky emerging in the wake of the Daft punk release, some stand out more than others. Here's one

A cracking project by PV Nova, with apparent version of Get Lucky over the ages from 1920 to 2020 in chronological order.

There are some great takes of the song here, difficult to say which is a favourite, but I do like the 50s version.

I suppose the 70s version is not dissimilar to something that Chic might have done, given Nile Roger's involvement in the final project

Of course, the problem of a project like this is that we want to hear the full versions of each decade's version!

Still, PV NOVA is continuing the project, wanting appropriate video clips to illustrate the versions from the different decades, so there's certainly more to come.
