<\/p>\nRICK Astley has re-recorded his biggest hit \u2014 but with a subtle twist.<\/p>\n
The 80s icon has gone into the studio to tweak his iconic anthem \u2018Never Gonna Give You Up\u2019 with a few changes to lyrics which have been commonly misheard for decades.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In the new version of the track, Astley now sings about \u201cdessert spoons\u201d, instead of \u201cdesert you\u201d, and replaced \u201cyour heart's been aching\u201d with the line \u201cyour aunt\u2019s been naked\u201d.<\/p>\n
As well as this, the music legend can now be heard singing about \u201cbroken mittens\u201d and \u201cseeds\u201d at various points in the track.<\/p>\n
Astley, who has revealed he is living with some hearing loss, re-recorded the song with Specsavers, to highlight how hearing loss can often be ignored and encourage people to take action if they notice changes.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cI had great fun re-recording the song and discovering the amusing ways people have misheard my lyrics.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt felt weird singing different lyrics but I\u2019m pleased to be raising awareness of hearing loss, as there is still a stigma around this.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve noticed my hearing changing over time so I recently had a hearing test at Specsavers.<\/p>\n \u201cIt showed I have some hearing loss, probably a result of playing the drums as a kid and working in the music industry, so I\u2019ve now got my first hearing aids.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s important to remember that everyone\u2019s hearing is different \u2013 some people lose high notes, others lose low frequency sounds.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019d encourage anyone to get their hearing tested if they notice any changes, so they don\u2019t lose the sounds or music they love.\u201d<\/p>\n The track follows research from Specsavers, which found \u2018Never Gonna Give You Up\u2019 is one of the nation\u2019s top 10 most misheard songs, alongside Abba\u2019s \u2018Dancing Queen\u2019 and Eurythmics \u2018Sweet Dreams\u2019.<\/p>\n However, one in six blame mishearing song lyrics on struggling to hear properly, despite 56 per cent confessing to never having their hearing tested.<\/p>\n More than half (51 per cent) find conversations with background noise difficult and 28 per cent can\u2019t hear the TV or radio properly – both common early signs of hearing loss.<\/p>\n One in three have noticed changes in their hearing over the last 10 years, but 57 per cent have taken no action to address these changes.<\/p>\n But staggeringly, other studies have shown people often wait as long as 10 years before addressing changes in their hearing.<\/p>\n Dr Michael Mosley said: \u201cHearing loss affects millions of individuals worldwide, but often goes undiagnosed and untreated.<\/p>\n \u201cIf you notice any changes in your hearing, don\u2019t wait 10 years to get checked.<\/p>\n \u201cHearing change is completely normal and is nothing to be embarrassed or ashamed about.\u201d<\/p>\n For respondents with hearing issues, coping mechanisms include nodding or saying \u2018yes\u2019 (44 per cent), leaning ears closer (33 per cent), or awkwardly laughing (32 per cent).<\/p>\n While 45 per cent asking people to frequently repeat themselves, although 70 per cent confessed to finding this embarrassing, the research conducted via OnePoll found.<\/p>\n But still, many aren\u2019t getting their hearing tested because they don\u2019t feel like it was needed (47 per cent), are too busy (14 per cent) or because no one they know gets their hearing checked (10 per cent).<\/p>\n Specsavers audiologist Gurleen Brar, who conducted Rick\u2019s hearing test, added: \u201cWe understand that we all hear differently, because we care for more ears across the UK than anyone else.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/newspress-collage-21566303-1677752704942.jpg\")
