The musical collective Postmodern Jukebox has become famous around the world for remixing modern songs with styles from earlier times in the Twentieth Century, including ragtime, jazz, swing, doo wop, sock hop, and more.
Their most recent music video is inspired by the rhythm and blues music of the early 1960s that is depicted in the Broadway stage and film musical Hairspray. Jeffrey James sings "Lucky," a song most famously sung by Britney Spears for an album released in 2000. The lyrics tell the story of a girl who is a Hollywood star and, consequently, thought to be extraordinarily lucky to have such a happy life. But, as would turn out to be appropriate for Spears's own life, is actually lonely and sad.
