"Never Gonna Stop (The Red Red Kroovy)" is a promotional single off Rob Zombie's second album The Sinister Urge. The song can also be found on Rob Zombie's Past, Present & Future and the greatest hits album The Best of Rob Zombie. The song is based on Stanley Kubrick's classic 1971 film, A Clockwork Orange. The phrase 'red red kroovy' is a quote from the movie which is used by Alex DeLarge meaning 'Red red blood' ("kroovy", correctly "krov'", means "blood" in Russian). The lyrics contain the phrases "See heaven, flash, a horrorshow..." and "...take me to the home..." which both references to scenes from the movie. The remix of the song, The Black Cat Crossing Mix, was included on "WWE Forceable Entry" and an edited version with shorter intro and "You think you know me" added to the beginning was briefly used as WWE Superstar Edge's entrance theme. Also, it was included on the soundtrack to the movie Rollerball in 2002. The song was nominated the Grammy for Best Metal Performance for the 2002 Grammy Awards Ceremony.

In the music video for "Never Gonna Stop", Rob is dressed as Alex DeLarge from A Clockwork Orange. Additionally, the reference to driving a "Durango 95" is from the film A Clockwork Orange, specifically a car stolen by Alex DeLarge. Also, the actor Tom Towles, who played Lieutenant George Wydell in Rob Zombie's film House of 1000 Corpses, appears in the video from time to time.
