Rough translation:

Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

One hit wonders that dropped off the ancient Billboard charts right away.

Groups went back to washing chariots and waiting on people at banquets.

Despite the admittedly catchy Rick Astley one also I can’t forget Barry White’s Never, Never Gonna Give Ya Up.

Astley

White
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IiHuEQ13x7E

On WKRP when Dr. Johnny Fever filled in for Venus Flytrap he as relieved his pal was going to return. “I didn’t know if I was going to be able to face the Barry White Marathon Weekend coming up.”

"Rough translation:...."

I wonder is there's a video for that.
