And we're glad that he promised us all 6 00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:15,400 Speaker 2: those years ago he was never going to give us up, 7 00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:18,200 Speaker 2: because here he is, Rick Athley, good morning. 8 00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:19,000 Speaker 3: Hey morning, how are you doing? 9 00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:20,320 Speaker 4: You were my crush? 10 00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:20,560 Speaker 2: Men? 11 00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:23,000 Speaker 3: Hey, nice to hear it, Nice to hear it. 12 00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:26,040 Speaker 2: Did you ever imagine when you were singing those songs 13 00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:29,120 Speaker 2: all those years ago that here you'd be still performing, 14 00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:32,040 Speaker 2: still drawing in the crowds by the thousands. 15 00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:35,080 Speaker 3: No, is the answer to that. I mean, I even quit, 16 00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:37,120 Speaker 3: and when I quit, I kind of thought I wouldn't 17 00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:39,600 Speaker 3: be ever doing it again, to be honest. But I 18 00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,279 Speaker 3: think just the whole thing about playing live is very 19 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:44,400 Speaker 3: different to doing the promo thing and doing the records, 20 00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:46,559 Speaker 3: do you know what I mean? And I think the 21 00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:49,720 Speaker 3: I've had some so many amazing experiences in terms of 22 00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:51,839 Speaker 3: where I've been in the world because of music that 23 00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:54,240 Speaker 3: he just sort of draw drew me back, I think. 24 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,000 Speaker 3: But I mean, yeah, I'm fifty four these days, which 25 00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 3: is kind of nuts to think I'm still going on 26 00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,800 Speaker 3: a stage. But then again, Elton john Man, you know 27 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 3: he's still rocking, still loving. 28 00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:04,319 Speaker 1: It seventy too. 29 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 4: You sort of came back into the fur with the 30 00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:08,959 Speaker 4: whole thing of Rick Rolling. How did you feel about 31 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 4: that when it first came out. 32 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,600 Speaker 3: It's a bit nuts because it's sort of got nothing 33 00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:15,960 Speaker 3: to do with me, but kind of has got something 34 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,080 Speaker 3: to do. I mean, somebody whoever started that all those 35 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,680 Speaker 3: years ago, they could have chosen any cheesy video from 36 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 3: the eighties. They just happened to choose mine. So I've 37 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:26,760 Speaker 3: kind of viewed it in a positive way and said that, 38 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 3: you know, it's kind of given a whole new audience 39 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 3: the possibility of hearing that song, whether they like it 40 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 3: or not, is another matter. They know it, you know. 41 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 3: I was sat on a plane and next to an 42 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:38,960 Speaker 3: eighteen year old kid the other day and it's kind 43 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 3: of like and he knew it big time, you know 44 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:42,479 Speaker 3: what I mean. And you know what I mean. It's 45 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 3: a really weird thing sometimes that music just permeates into 46 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 3: people's lives that you just wouldn't believe it would. But 47 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 3: that's the Internet for you, and it's changed everything. 48 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 1: And are you lucky that it's yours? I mean, who 49 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 1: want that? 50 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 4: Yeah? 51 00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,560 Speaker 3: I've had various friends and different people kind of say, 52 00:01:58,040 --> 00:01:59,640 Speaker 3: if somebody did a study on that of what it 53 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 3: would have cost to promote a record from that time, now, 54 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 3: do you know what I mean, and try and do 55 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,560 Speaker 3: that on the internet, it would cost you hundreds of thousands, 56 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 3: if not millions of dollars, you know. So, yeah, it's 57 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:11,800 Speaker 3: been pretty amazing, I think really just to kind of 58 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 3: just just sort of ring a bell in people's memories 59 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 3: of that song. You know. 60 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,400 Speaker 1: Did you ever hear the rumor this is when you 61 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 1: was first starting when you were twenty one, that you 62 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 1: and Kylie Minogue were the same single. 63 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 3: They are the same person.
