Worst 100 Things Rick Astley Is Never Gonna Do is currently on VFD and only we can save it. There is no one else out there who has the fucking Lionel Richie in them to smack this cat. We are slaves to this cirumstance; so let's not fight it! Embrace this stupid aimless destiny.

Anyway, there's some agreement that the first six lines are funny as they are lifted from the song.

100. Give you up.

99. Let you down.

98. Run around and desert you.

97. Make you cry.

96. Say goodbye.

95. Tell a lie and hurt you.

In here lies a ryhming strucure (wrong term). I propose we each take a set of six numbers to produce our own verse using this structure. ie:

• (3 syllables)
• (3 syllables)
• (7 syllables) Ryhme A
• (3 syllables) Ryhme B
• (3 syllables) Ryhme B
• (7 syllables) Ryhme A

I am well aware this is probably the worst idea ever - but people play badminton. mAttlobster. (hello) 17:06, April 5, 2011 (UTC)

Reserve numbers

• 100 - 95 Rick Astley
• 94 - 89 mAttlobster. (hello) 17:06, April 5, 2011 (UTC)
• 88 - 83 17:49, April 5, 2011 (UTC)

Alternative

Good luck, and thanks for the invitation, but again, I don't play badminton, nor do I know enough about Rick Astley to participate, nor did I read enough about him on Wikipedia to contribute. My approach is in Top ten things Rick Astley is Never Gonna Do, which would replace the current Worst 100; your comments are welcome. Your approach will produce a good article if your volunteers can pull it off; if not, mine is shrink-wrapped and ready. Spıke Ѧ 21:06 5-Apr-11

Case closed

This debate seems to have been overtaken by events (that is, by Poopsmiths), as the Forum got one third-party volunteer, zero new stanzas, and the original article has been huffed on VFD. I linked the replacement article from Rick Astley and substituted it in the Top 100 Awful Lists, no matter that it is no longer a list of 100 but of 10. Spıke Ѧ 22:44 8-Apr-11

On the negative side: one of the greatest ideas of our generation remains unrealised. On the positive side: at least there's a decent article purring on the rug of deletion. 'Candle in the Wind'? Princess Diana version? Yes please. mAttlobster. (hello) 22:53, April 8, 2011 (UTC)

Let us not forget the hideous remake of Hooked on a Feeling. Spıke Ѧ 22:56 8-Apr-11

Maybe it's just before its time? mAttlobster. (hello) 23:04, April 8, 2011 (UTC)
