"I Hope I Never" is a 1980 song by New Zealand art rock group Split Enz from their studio album True Colours.[1] The album version of the song goes for 4:36, forty seconds longer than the single version. The song was later covered by ENZSO, a collaboration between Split Enz's Eddie Rayner and the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra in 1995. The cover featured New Zealand singer Annie Crummer on vocals, changing only the lyrics to refer to herself as a woman rather than a man.
