]]> <![CDATA[Rick Astley Most Likeable Singer With Most Annoying Song]]> OT: I came out to my work friends by singing "Never Gonna Give You Up" at a drunken afterwork karaoke in 1999. Rick Astley was, and still is, my big gay crush. Love those gingers...

Appreciate the correction!

Man, I have got to stop these three martini breakfasts.

]]> <![CDATA[Rick Astley Most Likeable Singer With Most Annoying Song]]> @mmh: Yup - cassingles. When I moved last year I found a cassingle for "Behind the Wheel/Route 66" and I was totally stoked. Then I remembered that I no longer have a tape player.

]]> <![CDATA[Rick Astley Most Likeable Singer With Most Annoying Song]]> @SuperBien: He pulls the birds though. Could never figure that. Mick is like David Beckham, the moment he opens his mouth to talk, all sexual cred right out the window.

]]> <![CDATA[Rick Astley Most Likeable Singer With Most Annoying Song]]> @MartyPants: Heh! Yeah, Mick Hucknall's not really known for his personal style. His music's fairly good, but his clothing choices and hair? Not so much . . .

SuperBien

]]> <![CDATA[Rick Astley Most Likeable Singer With Most Annoying Song]]> OK, I had that on, what were the brief-lived cassette alternatives to 45s? Cassingles? I'm pretty sure I should be embarrassed, but now I'm confused. Maybe I was very, very cool. That is a damn catchy song.

mmh

]]> <![CDATA[Rick Astley Most Likeable Singer With Most Annoying Song]]> @MartyPants: Perhaps an inspiration for Marian's repertoire.

]]> <![CDATA[Rick Astley Most Likeable Singer With Most Annoying Song]]> i think rick astley is a pretty cool guy. eh kills top ten chrts and doesn't afraid of anything.

]]> <![CDATA[Rick Astley Most Likeable Singer With Most Annoying Song]]> @SuperBien: Phew! I was dismayed that the amazingly still-hottie Rick might have had a secret and heartbreaking unkempt-hair-and-male-muumuu phase.

What in heaven's name is that singer wearing? Lounge-lizard salwar kameez?

MartyPants

]]> <![CDATA[Rick Astley Most Likeable Singer With Most Annoying Song]]> @In Other News...: and then the Richard Marx / Kenny Loggins sing off is sure to follow.

and then...the end of the world

roodles

]]> <![CDATA[Rick Astley Most Likeable Singer With Most Annoying Song]]> @McCheeburger: That tune would make a lovely Bear Stearn's theme song, but it's by Simply Red -- not Rick. Also, Rick had cooler hair than Mick Hucknall . . . way cooler . . .

SuperBien

]]> <![CDATA[Rick Astley Most Likeable Singer With Most Annoying Song]]> Rick Astley, with his booming voice and Bob's Big Boy pompadour, was the best of late '80's yuppie, UK-bubblegum dance pop. I, too, am glad he is not strung-out or wacked screwy weird like so many of his contemporaries . . .

SuperBien

]]> <![CDATA[Rick Astley Most Likeable Singer With Most Annoying Song]]> I used to have a circa-1987 Rick Astley glossy promo photo hanging in my cube. I miss his smiling visage. Dude still looks cute, too!

@In Other News...: The very idea of that is enough to send me outside for a cigarette, and I don't even smoke.

]]> <![CDATA[Rick Astley Most Likeable Singer With Most Annoying Song]]> For you kids too young to know, Rick was the cat's meow back when MTV served up a diet of nothing but music videos and such.

Money's too tight (to mention) could be Bear Stearns theme song.

]]> <![CDATA[Rick Astley Most Likeable Singer With Most Annoying Song]]> Five words: Rick Astley / Michael McDonald Sing-Off. This must happen. Now.

In Other News...

]]> <![CDATA[Rick Astley Most Likeable Singer With Most Annoying Song]]> I was around for this the first time, and I will admit to knowing all the words... and the cheezy dancing in the video is just BEST. Hearing he finds the use of his song by Anonymous against $cientology to be "hilarious" is totally kickass.

I smell a comeback!! WANT!!!1!11

]]> <![CDATA[Rick Astley Most Likeable Singer With Most Annoying Song]]> Rick Astley was and is cool. He took the incongruous combination of his voice and visage and crafted a lighthearted act from which he seems not to have sustained any ill effects. Would that they (short term pop stars) could all be so lucky.
