LOVE Rick Astley... miss his music

Standrewsschool · 12/08/2020 21:48

My ds’s favourite tune was Europe’s ‘The Final Countdown’ for A while.

Getting back to op, LTBGrin

I'd rather Jack. Than Fleetwood Mac.

Tell you what that album he did last year Is great, he’s an amazing singer.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 12/08/2020 21:51

I quite like him. Although I thought his first song Never gonna give you up was a bit over rated. I much preferred his later song “Take me to your heart.” I thought it far more catchy and up beat.
Incidentally it’s 33 years around about now that “Never gonna give you up first entered the charts.

Love him

walchesterweasel · 12/08/2020 21:53

Mary Berry did a spot with him, he seemed a good sport and I began to think I might have been hasty in the past.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 12/08/2020 21:54

Oh I’ve got bloody tears in my eyes with nostalgia now. 1987 was a fabulous year for music. Also the days fell the same as well.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 12/08/2020 21:54

Fell the same as this year

Comefromaway · 12/08/2020 21:56

My teen loves Rick too. There is something called Rickrolling

Mrsmadevans · 12/08/2020 22:03

You are so wrong!

schnubbins · 12/08/2020 22:07

Love him..all my friends say that when they hear 'Never Going to Give You Up' being played that they think of me. that song reminds m of very very happy times .We need more Rick Astleys in the world.

MrsJBaptiste · 12/08/2020 22:11

And his cover of SHM's 'Don't you worry child' is fab! Love him 😃

AbbieFB · 12/08/2020 22:11

I love him! He is a fantastic singer and love performer.

StarTrekRedShirt · 12/08/2020 22:14

He’s fabulous live. I saw him support Take That and he was just brilliant.

My teen loves Bonnie Tyler.

CrazyAllAroundMe · 12/08/2020 22:25

Yabu. My teens loves him. I had an lp 1st time round so it made me happy. We saw him in Kew Gardens last year he's a great character. Really interactive. Amazing cover songs as well as his classics. I'm behind your DC Star

Zemindar, Valerie Fitzgerald, is very Far Pavilions-esque but fabulous in its own right, it's a real shame the author only wrote the one book

PhilSwagielka · 12/08/2020 22:33

Didn't Youtube take the original Rickroll video down?

BlackAmericanoNoSugar · 12/08/2020 22:41

You think you have problems OP, let me tell you about my DS. He mostly plays rap but also thinks I'm Still Standing by Elton John is fantastic music. Shock
