Much to my surprise, I found the original, I Should Be so Lucky.  It was Kylie Minogue’s number one hit in the UK and Australia back in 1988.  After watching the French and Saunders spoof of I Should Be so Lucky, I thought I had heard the song before but after so many years, now with my hair turning gray like Anderson Cooper, I just couldn’t remember where and when.

Minogue traveling to London with Mushroom Records executive Gary Ashley to work with Stock, Aitken & Waterman.  They knew little of Minogue and had forgotten that she was arriving; as a result, they wrote “I Should Be So Lucky” while she waited outside the studio…  originally appeared on Wikipedia

The first video was from Kylie’s concert – yes, she is back - in 2005 called Showgirl.  The second one is none other than the French and Saunders spoof with just the song only.
