My Lucky Day (song) - History

History

"My Lucky Day" was made available in the U.S. on amazon.com on December 1, 2008, accompanied by a long music video that showed Springsteen and the band arranging and recording the song. It was also made available as downloadable content for the game Guitar Hero World Tour on January 27, 2009, along with "Born to Run" as part of the Bruce Springsteen Pack, which can be imported into any GH game since World Tour, making it one of only two Springsteen songs ever to appear in the series. It peaked at #18 on the American Triple-A charts in early June.

Despite being a single the song wasn't played a lot during the Working on a Dream Tour making just five appearances during Springsteen's U.S. shows and a total of nineteen performances total on the world tour.

Famous quotes containing the word history:

    “Most events recorded in history are more remarkable than important, like eclipses of the sun and moon, by which all are attracted, but whose effects no one takes the trouble to calculate.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “We don’t know when our name came into being or how some distant ancestor acquired it. We don’t understand our name at all, we don’t know its history and yet we bear it with exalted fidelity, we merge with it, we like it, we are ridiculously proud of it as if we had thought it up ourselves in a moment of brilliant inspiration.”
    —Milan Kundera (b. 1929)

    “The history of American politics is littered with bodies of people who took so pure a position that they had no clout at all.”
    —Ben C. Bradlee (b. 1921)
