There are songs we've gone our whole lives without hearing and the best song we've ever heard might still be out there. (lemmy.ml)

I just heard it again my radio on my way home. I still don’t know why it’s so suddenly popular again right now and it’s puzzling me.

Which version, though? :) That sounds like you mean the original?

Anyway, it has stood the test of time, and I think that’s about the only way to actually find the greatest songs.

I suppose it's one way to judge them :) But yes, that's why my favourite has not changed for over 30 years - I don't get tired of it. Much like this one.

PSI know, without autoplay it's not the same, but I didn't want to use a youtube-link - f*ck google ;)

Yes, the original keeps playing on radio stations near me for some reason.

(Even the piped link gave away the "WqXcQ" in the url)

I have NewPipe installed, so YouTube links automatically open in that instead.(YouTube must be disabled as default app).That's the best fix that I know for that issue.

Also, NewPipe works great because it keeps playing when the screen is off and so, so I highly recommend it if you have issues with Google.

well I was serious, I was basically saying "I never mind if someone rickrolls me, because I've been enjoying that song since I first heard it on Vinyl in the 80s" :) so it was a kind of "reverse rickroll" - in that I actually meant to link the song for being good :)
