'Luckiest Man In The World' was released originally as a bonus track on Frenzy In The Hips, a CD compiling all five of the Trocs' previous songs. Until now, it's not been downloadable.
Lord Rutledge nailed it in his 'Frenzy' review: "If you already own the first two singles, the lure here is the fantastic 'Luckiest Man In The World' - which sounds like a song the Beach Boys might have recorded with Keith Richards and Mick Taylor sitting in on guitar."

He'll take two cards and hit an inside straight,
Win your money then he’ll steal your date,
He's the luckiest ma-a-a-an,
In the world,
Robber shot a bullet straight at his head,
Bullet took a U-turn, killed the robber instead,
He's the luckiest ma-a-a-an,
In the world,
Yeah, he's the luckiest ma-a-a-an,
In the world,
Bridge
He’s got a girl in every city and town,
Never been shot down,
Guitar break - Geoff
Chorus
They call it luck,
(He’s the luckiest man)
They call it luck
(He’s the luckiest man)
They call it luck,
(He’s the luckiest man)
The luckiest in the world…
Yeah, robber shot a bullet straight at his head,
Bullet took a U-turn, killed the robber instead,
He's the luckiest ma-a-a-an,
In the world,
Yeah, he's the luckiest ma-a-a-an,
In the world,
He’s got a girl in every city and town,
Never been shot down,
Guitar break - Brad
They call it luck
(He’s the luckiest man)
They call it luck
(He’s the luckiest man)
They call it luck
(He’s the luckiest man)
The luckiest in the world…

"Brand New Beat is an exciting album filled with retro power pop originals that get better and better with every spin. It’s fun, sexy and infused with sincere passion for the music." (AltRockChick) The New Trocaderos
Geoff Palmer filled my ears with the most glorious guitar riff I’d heard in centuries, riding the waves of an irresistible beat. Brad Marino's fuck-it-all lyrics shook me to the core. (AltRockChick) The New Trocaderos
