Do you remember this?

I was sitting up late on Friday night and came across our new Danish version of VH-1 and they were doing a Friday night party mix. Included was a lot of old classic songs.

I'm dedicating these next 5 days to some of the gems of the past. Are they forgotten?

I think not.


Rick Astleys Never Gonna Give You Up is fabulous. I had almost forgotten it, and as a pop up video it's even better!

  1. Luv Rick Astley! I actually thought he was black til I saw the music videos! We used to copy his dance moves and called them the Rick Astley at grade school dances!

    *Does the Rick Astley dance to the video.*

  2. Newton le Willows is very near to where I was born - so I've always liked little Nick.
    Mick Hucknell is another ginger bloke with a 'black' voice - but he's not pretty enough.

  5. Bingowings: Fantastic!

    I had to hide my liking of Rick Astley very well in order to survive school.

    KAZ: Rick Astley is a pretty boy isn't he?

    Tim: Wow that's scary.

    What is he nominated for? Did he do anything in the last 18 years?

  6. Rick Astley grew the biggest quiff in the UK - That's what his MTV award is for. It's so big now that he can't support it's weight and he has to be wheeled around on a cart!

  8. Yes, what IDV said, plus something about that whole internet viral thing where you clicked on a perfectly innocent link before being assaulted by Never Gonna Give You Up.

  10. I do love PopUp video.

    All I can think of when I see Rick Astley is the Family Guy/Back to the Future parody where his cousin "Marvin Astley" calls him to tell him about the generic sound he's just heard.

  11. MJ: you mean so thoughtfully reminded right?

    Dinah: popup videos are the best!

    I have never seen that episode. Must watch more Family Guy.
