The music video for the song has become the basis for the "Rickrolling" Internet meme, leading the song to also be referred to as "The Rickroll Song". In 2004, "Never Gonna Give You Up" was voted number 28 in 50 Most Awesomely Bad Songs. In 1990, Nick Lowe quoted from the song and called it "ghastly" in the lyrics to "All Men Are Liars", a song on his album Party of One. The song won Best British Single at the 1988 Brit Awards. It eventually topped the charts in 25 countries, including the United States and West Germany. The song was a worldwide number-one hit, initially in the singer's native United Kingdom in 1987, where it stayed at the top of the chart for five weeks and was the best-selling single of that year. The song was released as the first single from Astley's debut album, Whenever You Need Somebody (1987). It was written and produced by Stock Aitken Waterman. While I like a couple of Astley's song(s), he achieved nowhere near the success Bruno Mars has."Never Gonna Give You Up" is a song recorded by British singer and songwriter Rick Astley, released as a single on 27 July 1987. And he's certainly closer to Sting or Prince than he is Rick Astley. I'm not saying he's Sting or Prince caliber yet, but he could certainly get there if he keeps doing what he's doing. He was playing in shows with his family as young as 4 years old. He may not be able to play 25 instruments but he's obviously a talented musician. But while you or I might have a certain opinion about Bruno Mars, I think album sales is one of the ways we measure success.īruno Mars grew up playing music and singing with his family. Sting is a great musician, and so is Prince. I'm not taking anything away from him as he is (and probably always will be) the King of Pop. I think you hit the nail on the head here.
