No. 14: The Internet Is Never Gonna Give Rick Astley Up

Oh, sure, the phenomenon of "rickrolling"—in which an unsuspecting Web browser is led to an online rip of Rick Astley's Stock/Aitken/Waterman-penned hit "Never Gonna Give You Up," for the sole purpose of bringing lulz—originated in 2007.

Boys & girls - Mandy Smith

Do you remember this nice video? "Boys And Girls" it's the title. Here are the credits, it wasn't a S.A.W. production, but it was recorded in PWL Studios 1 & 2.

Engineer - Jamie Bromfield
Mixed By - Mixmaster Pete Hammond
Producer, Keyboards, Drums - Daize Washbourn
Programmed by Ian Curnow

Don't Turn Your Back

This isn't a S.A.W. production, but it's really similar to their productions! It's written by Burni Adams, John O'Hara by Legend Music Group Ltd. (1988). I think they used A LINN as drums and a lot of keyboards like the typical S.A.W. style!

That same year, he broke up with Kylie Minogue, the woman he claimed in last year's autobiography, Between the Lines: My Story Uncut, was "the one – my first true love". Seeing pictures of Minogue on the arm of Michael Hutchence, he says, was "like salt rubbed into my wounds"....
