Following the success of “Get Lucky,” the first single off their new album Random Access Memories, Daft Punk has teamed with Durex for a line of condoms. Seriously. The Get Lucky (what else) brand showcases their logo alongside a photo of the French twosome with Pharrell Williams and Nile Rodgers. The endorsement does make some sense, considering the lyrics to the song: “She’s up all night ’til the sun / I’m up all night to get some,” Pharrell croons. “She’s up all night for good fun / I’m up all night to get lucky!” President Barack Obama would no doubt approve. No release date has been set for the condoms, but Durex apparently sent samples out to high profile DJs. Diplo posted a picture of the (empty) box on his Instagram, writing, “Thank god I had those daft punk condoms last night” In other Daft Punk news, Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalteris (the musicians behind the robot helmets) will also become action figures. Warning: If you’re most excited by this announceent, you may not even need the condoms at all! And in other, other Daft Punk news, if you haven’t listened to “Evolution of Get Lucky” by PV Nova, do so immediately. The brilliant remix transports the song to every decade from 1920s to the 2020s.
