Cover art for Never Gonna Stop (The Red, Red Kroovy) lyrics by Rob Zombie

you're wrong about this song being nonsense...it is written in Nadsat though, which is the language from the movie A Clockwork Orange (which the video for the song is based)...the title of it Never Gonna Stop (The Red Red Krovvy) is even written in it..."The Red Red Krovvy" is blood.
