"You Got Lucky" is the first single from Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers' album Long After Dark. The song peaked at #20 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #1 on the Billboard Top Tracks chart, where it stayed for three weeks at the end of 1982.
[edit] Music video
The official video for the single features Tom Petty and Mike Campbell arriving in a hovercar from the television series Logan's Run at a black tent in the desert. They find a radio/cassette player and turn it on, thus beginning the music, as the other band members arrive in a motorcycle and sidecar. Entering the tent, they turn on electricity for studio equipment and a bank of television sets. Mike plays a guitar solo, Howie Epstein hits a jackpot on a slot machine, and Tom overturns an Astro Invader video game before they all ride away. The look of this short film echoes the postapocalyptic film Mad Max 2, released in 1981.
A clip from the Galactica 1980 episode "Galactica Discovers Earth, Part I" plays on one of the televisions.[1]
