Kevin and Casey tackle the most successful prank in internet history: Never Gonna Give You Up. Is it just meme-core nonsense, or does Rick Astley actually kind of...slap? Kevin questions everything he thought he knew about white guys with deep voices, Casey wonders if they’ve been emotionally manipulated by a trench coat, and together they ask: is this song a joke, or are we the joke?See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.

"Never Gonna Give You Up"

With open-minds, Kevin and Casey start the podcast listening to one famously despised pop song - obviously, since we can’t play the track for legal reasons, this is a quick homework assignment for our listeners to stream on their own. Kevin and Casey will give their first impressions of hearing the song as well as some insight into what the time was like when it was originally released. Next, since they are both musicians, they’ll break down the good, the bad, and the ugly of the tune’s musical attributes and lyricism. They’ll compare this song to similar songs (that are loved!) and discuss why the world has decided this song is a famous turd.
