The Who

"Be Lucky" (video)

Although The Who Hits 50! emphasizes classic hits from the Who's extensive catalogue, the anniversary compilation also comes with a brand new tune called "Be Lucky."

This is a boppy rock song in the vein of pop-oriented Who hits like "Substitute" and "I Can't Explain" (rather than their more ambitious rock opera material). That being said, the tune takes on a bluesy swagger during the verses, and there are references to AC/DC and Daft Punk.

The accompanying video is a blast from the past, as performance images from throughout the Who's career as overlaid with cartoonish lyrics. Watch it below [via Rolling Stone].
