pop chart, despite Daft Punk never previously reaching the pop Top 40. The song was first publicized through two 15-second advertisements on "Saturday Night Live." The buzz surrounding "Get Lucky" caused it to debut inside the top 20 on the U.S. He reportedly said, "If you just want me to play tambourine, I'll do it." He also stated that Daft Punk were perfectionists in recording his vocals, requiring multiple takes and re-recording specific phrases. Pharrell Williams heard about the project at a party and offered to collaborate. It took approximately 18 months to complete the recording of "Get Lucky." Daft Punk presented Nile Rodgers with a demo of the song, and he then recorded a guitar part to fit the recording. At the Grammy Award ceremony, Daft Punk performed "Get Lucky" live with Nile Rodgers, Pharrell Williams, and Stevie Wonder. The song earned Grammy Awards for Record of the Year and Best Pop Duo or Group Performance. The song brought the sound of '70s disco back to the pop music mainstream. I figured if there was a problem, someone would tell me."Get Lucky" was written as a collaboration between Daft Punk, disco pioneer Nile Rodgers, and producer-singer Pharrell Williams. I don't know how that plays out with Marvel's legal department. I thought it would be cool to have the song coming on the radio signaling the oncoming "luck storm" that was about to happen, with the three different stories all coming together.ĭid you have to obtain any permission to incorporate the lyrics of the song into the story from Daft Punk or Columbia Records, or is that not a factor in the comic book writing medium? Yeah, I love Daft Punk, and have listened to that new album a million times by this point. How did the plan for utilizing "Get Lucky" in this issue come to be? Was this a song you were a fan of, or did it just fit so well with Longshot that you decided to throw it into the story? Now, being an avid comic book reader and a fan of dance music, I was immediately drawn to the way you weaved in Daft Punk's "Get Lucky" into this story about a character who's superpower has so much to do with luck. Immediately after, I read every single Longshot comic I could find, so I got to know who the guy was pretty quickly and thoroughly. He called me up and asked if I wanted to write it, and of course I said yes! I truthfully didn't know who Longshot was up until that phone call, but Jordan had a cool idea for what he wanted to see out of this series, so I wanted in. White's idea, and we'd worked together in the past on Deadpool. Was Longshot a character you'd been interested in writing? This week, the first issue of your latest Marvel work, Longshot Saves the Marvel Universe hit the stands. But I also find it really rewarding! Besides being fun to "play with those toys," it's a different muscle, and that keeps things interesting. You have to be creative on a pretty tight schedule. I'd say it's a bit more challenging writing comics for Marvel if just for the deadlines.
Is the transition from working on webcomics to creating for one of the comic book powerhouses difficult? Do you prefer one to the other? McNinja, although you did write Marvel's Deadpool: Fear Itself series. Most people knew you for being the man behind the web comic Dr. It's an innovative way to play the "real world" entertainment scene into this "comic book world," and we figured we'd talk to Hastings and get an idea on how this awesome use of the song of the summer came to be. The first issue of Longshot Saves the Marvel Universe pulled off an interesting feat: it properly incorporated the hook from Daft Punk's "Get Lucky" into the story. Fans of web comics might also know him as the man behind the awesome Dr. The writer for this series, Christopher Hastings, is not entirely new to this Marvel Universe he wrote the Deadpool: Fear Itself miniseries back in 2011. One of the characters in Marvel's X-Universe (although technically not a mutant) is Longshot, who has an intriguing power over luck, and his new mini-series, Longshot Saves the Marvel Universe, plays upon the idea of what happens when you push your luck, especially when it depends on your intentions. Do any of you dance music lovers read comic books? We imagine some of you grew up checking out Wolverine or the Amazing Spider-man, but are any of you still reveling in the world of comics? We (read: I) do, and have been a fan of many Marvel franchises over the years, especially the mutant world.
