Loved this album. This is the first time I've seen this video. Come on, guys, it's funny! What's wrong with that? BTW there's a huge shortage of Nick Lowe videos on YouTube, other than concerts and the album cover "videos".
When Nick wrote this song, he explained it by stating that it was a way of saying to the ladies : "Here, let me take some of the burden off your shoulders". A generous fellow he indeed be. And as for a past commenter who labeled Nick a "nobody for the rest of his life"...Well, Rick Astley had a few big hits (which is OK), but Nick has amassed an enormous song catalog over the last 40 years featuring many classics plus a dedicated fan base equal to Astley's. For a "nobody" that speaks volumes.
I just love how he rhymed "Rick Astley" with "ghastly"!!! A treasure and a really nice, down to earth guy - met him when he toured Oz in the 80s and my friends (Dynamic Hepnotics) played support.
Love the song, video and acting. But why is Nick, 40 and well established professionally, trashing Rick, a young upstart whose only crime was having the bad judgment to make the world's worst music video? He probably had no choice in the matter. Come on, Nick, give the kid a break!
I love this guy. He has a great attitude to music and life. Knocks out tunes that are fun, doesn't take it too seriously, laughs at himself and life. In the next life I wanna come back as him.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.
