Rick Astley is cool in my book, in the funny way. He actually has a good voice, the song and the setup is very lame but then again this was cool in the 80s. The song actually has a good beat though.

Made in Spain says – reply to this

24

hi!!!
i don´t know that man "perez hilton" but today in a spanish programme (Spain in not Mexico) has put this blog. But i prefer our national professionals like Patiño o Mariñas, and our famous stars (Paquirrín, Belén Esteban, Pipi….)
So if you want to watch a good programe, you should watch "Sé lo que hicisteis…", maybe you can´t see it on tv, but in youtube you can. Kissess to Patricia and Ángel!!!
and… Miki Nadal está bueno!!!!jeje
adios

Every time I see that video, I think, "Holy crap, that looks just like the 80's. Ewwww."

Then I immediately think, "Damn, that guy with the cheesy clothes has an absolutely AMAZING voice."

Seriously, if he can get some better material (better than the Bananarama-crap he was given by Stock/Aitken/Waterman), he could rule the pop scene!

I'm beginning to feel old. I'm 27 and this video came out when I was really little. It was a HUGE hit and, amazingly, it wasn't dorky then. I want to go back to the 80s!

Don't fall for GMails customer theme either. It's also an April fools joke.
The GMail joke last year was you could print out your emails and they would be shipped to you in bulk.
