11 days to go! We’ve come up with a devilishly clever drinking game for you to play when our song comes out on the 13th.
Every time you hear the word “wunderbar”… drink.
Enjoy, kids!
Die Parkbank wurde zur Langweile.!

13 days to go! When it came to the final mix, the engineer told us it was getting a bit crowded,
so we left him to it and went down the pub..

15 days to go! If you thought Richard Burton's narration at the start of War of the Worlds was good, wait until you hear our bassist, Eddie Young, opening Wunderbar.

17 days to go! You lot really don't seem to like these updates when they're on a blue background.
What did blue ever do to you?

19 days to go! In hindsight, starting this countdown 65 days out may have been… overfitted to our ability to generate content.
Any questions? Anyone at the back?

21 days to go! This is the first Lucky Aces track to feature an opera singer, which took some convincing.

25 days to go! Of the 94 tracks that make up the song, several were labelled “weird shit”. This will become apparent when you listen.

27 days to go! Early reviewers were divided only in wording: one described the track as “fabulously weird,” another as “weirdly fabulous.”

29 days to go! No effort was made to keep anything secret, as there was no need. Every email, meeting, recording session, and even the file names referenced the song directly.

31 days to go! Featuring the largest Lucky Aces ensemble to date, the song was, fittingly, recorded in the smallest studio yet.

35 days to go! Eagle-eared listeners may detect the influence of Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring, fused with the pelvic pulse of James Horner’s score for Aliens.

37 days to go! The first notes were laid down in 2024, just before the recording session for Lunch with the Lucky Aces. Not that you can tell. Or that it means anything. It’s just technically true.

41 days to go. Discussions about the musicians from The Muppet Show dominated both the moments between takes and, rather surprisingly, the moments during them.

43 days to go! The artist rota was originally meant to include a harpist, but a mix-up over the word “harp” resulted in a harmonica player instead. In the end, neither performed.

This is the first Chance & The Lucky Aces track to be sung primarily in the German language.

This is the sixth track Chance has had to sing in the dark, without a music stand — coincidence, or perhaps a subtle message.

THIS WAS 1981: One pound (kids, ask your parents) of Quality Street cost £1.49. Giant Toblerones were 99p if you were posh.

This is the first Chance & The Lucky Aces song to include the lyric 'Nuclear,' but it certainly won’t be the last. No sir-eee.

“Ghost Town” on the radio. A cheerful little number about national decline.

53 Days to go until 'Wunderbar’: It stands as CATLA’s most sober recording to date. Only a single snifter of brandy was consumed in the studio, which is unprecedented.

THIS WAS 1981.
Tom Baker’s reign as the Doctor ended, taking the iconic scarf with him and—by some estimates—freeing up roughly half the show's budget.

It is the first CATLA song to feature more than one time signature: 4/4, 3/4, and whatever happened near the end.
