The fact that Rick Astley was actually cool with the meme and actually contributed to it sometimes and was a meme that lasted over a decade, you really can’t get this from any other guy.
But if you ask me how I’m feeling, I gotta make you understand that Rick is never gonna give you up and he will never let you down and he is never gonna run around and desert you.
Fun fact, last week he got Rickrolled himself on reddit. He posted a picture of him from his first tour, someone posted a link saying they had a picture with him back in the day, said link was the video. He responded with the applause emoji.
What makes never gonna give you up a great song are some simple things. In his voice you can feel he means it to who ever it's ment for. There is emotion and feeling there. While it was very low budget with him just using clothing he owned in a rather random place. He looked like he was having a good time and enjoying himself along with everyone else in it. In the fact it didn't have the feel that productuon was putting pressure. More like everyone was relaxed and going with the flow.

The reason I love it so much is because it's just so wholesome. You never feel BAD after getting rickrolled. Sure, you didn't get what you expected, but instead it's just a groovy old pop song. It's a cute harmless prank, the purest of internet mischief.
And sometimes when you're feeling down you just need Rick Astley to tell you that he's never gonna give you up never gonna let you down never gonna run around and desert you never gonna make you cry never gonna say goodbye never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
"You never feel BAD after getting rickrolled." Really? "You want to learn sketch writing? Here's the link: ua-cam.com/video/dQw4w9WgXcQ/v-deo.html" is not funny.
It WAS rather annoying though, when every fool was making everything into a Rickroll. It's one thing to have it happen once in a while, being totally unexpected and appreciated the joke from time to time. But when people were getting to the point that they would never wanna click on any link, assuming that they're going to be Rickrolled, even if they actually were not. Well, that's when you know that too many fools had killed the joke. We can look back now and laugh. But for a time there, it honestly did get utterly ridiculous.
Fun fact when the song was made there was a lot of 1 song hits per artist so rick didn't have a lot of hits every song he made. He also does covers nowadays
It’s an absolute bop! And the way the intro works, it’s so unique and suddenly that when you see that foot you immediately know what it is, but you stay anyway because it’s so catchy
im surprised you never mentioned the fact that theres someone in the Guinness book of world records for rickrolling the most amount of people in the world, and when Guinness records reached out to him, he successfully rickrolled THEM.
Humility is simply what people in general is missing. The only difference is that they were exposed to scenarios that boosted their ego, if you think yourself any different from them, you're simply fooling yourself.

Rickrolling has survived for so long because its just as funny for the person who receives the prank as the one who dishes it out. its a beautiful thing really.
This guy Rick Astley has always been so humble I remember when he came into fame in the 80s every interview, he was so down to earth nor diva manners whatsoever, just an ordinary bloke with a masculine great voice, ty Rick for some good nights at the clubs!

@@kmsbismarck69 screams* A LOT NOW THIS IS TO GO EVEN FURTHER BEYOND AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Rick seems like an amazing guy. It took a good, somewhat forgettable song from the 80’s and turned him and the song into a legend. Definitely a feel good story.
Especially considering the recording quality back then isn't anywhere near what it is today, He puts 99.98% of modern singers to shame, so shameful in fact I actually start to feel sorry for them. I'm not even a fan of rick, but I have to admit his voice is as smooth as butter.
A nearly operatic voice, catchy disco beat and lyrics, the song literally became a hit out of nowhere. Rick Astley made out pretty well, I wish him all the best.
There's a TV commercial coming from an insurance company and Rick Astley sang this song and he's still rocks in spite of his old age. Rickrolling will never die! 😁
The great thing about rickrolling is that it’s a perfect prank: it’s a joke to make someone look foolish without actually hurting them, plus the song is an uplifting the bop! The entire meme is good natured, easy, and fun. No wonder it has the staying power :)
@@SPAZZOID100 who cares majority of the classics weren't written by the actual artists. Just becasue you didn't write it doesn't mean it isn't yours and that you shouldn't be proud of it.
The song is a reminder of how different things were back then. People were a lot less self-conscious and there was a feel good factor that is missing today. This is really why this song became so popular. The meme was just an excuse to listen to what is arguably a guilty pleasure kind of song
@@zachary15025 Basically, someone disguises the link to the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up and then they send it to someone. The sender is rickrolling the recipient.
Now, 30 something years from now I will stand in a classroom, teaching students only to say “here, I’ll show a video as an example!” Only to play that song. And I will do it to every single class. And reach them all about memes and Internet culture.
One thing I hope Rick knows is it isn't about making fun of him at all. He seems like a good sport about it and I actually love the song. Its catchy as hell
I saw a video where Rick Astley himself did rick roll people personally. And yes he didn't just give a concert or something, he really did rick roll people. I think he doesn't mind his song to become a meme and a prank or at least it seems like he doesn't mind anymore, if he did at the beginning. :)
@@jenynz5334 YES!!!! He has even toured and sang with the Foo Fighters!!! I looooove the Foo Fighters!!! I am 44… living in SUNNY HAPPY FREE FLORIDA… this is June 1st of 2021… oh there is a stupid C19 vir@s still going on… and I can never get tired of this song!!! 🤩
My favorite thing is that Rick Astley himself has been rick rolled. It was around two days before this video was posted on the r/pics subreddit. It was from a comment on a pic from his first tour. The rick roller claimed to have met Rick Astley during a back stage event when he was twelve and included a link to what would be assumed to be a picture, but of course it wasn't. The rick roller has received nearly 2600 awards on this comment which will give him years of reddit premium according to a post on r/theydidthemath. I don't know how this guy will ever feel joy again like what could possibly come close to this accomplishment.
Man, how can you ever top that? I'd be passing that down to generations after I'm long gone, if I were him! My great great grandchildren would be like "yea you been rickrolled but did you rickroll the rickroll himself? I guess not"
This is still my favorite 80's song. It's my husband and my song when we first started dating in March '87. I had heard of Rickrolling but didn't understand what it was or how it started, so thanks for the explanation. Rick has a great voice and I am glad it has helped him relaunch his career. I don't know him personally, of course, but glad he kept the iconic song as is. It was that perfect window into some of the best lighthearted dance music of the era.
well, i literally cringe because this meme isnt even that relevant anymore. you always expect any link to be a rickroll, it feels like everyone is just so fucking A B S O R B E D in it.
same, even though the point of the meme doesn't really make sense. It's just comforting that some people still have fun with basic stuffs, that's the peak of my entertainment.
Thanks for all the information about Astley today. I get so frustrated when so many people think he's still retired, but some of his new stuff is among my favorites.

The fact he never tried to monetize the fame off the meme is everything. Plenty of times nowadays you see someone's meme get slightly big and they jump on the money train. Rick kept his video up, no ads, no remixes just a good old music video everyone can use.
dude...Rick rolling made him relevant again, so many people wouldn't even know his name if it weren't for Rick Rolling. He tours now because of it, you can go order tickets from a link on his youtube channel, on his video which has over a billion views, it resurrected his career. He would make LESS money from an add because it would ruin Rick Rolling, but yes it is everything that he is not money hungry enough to lose himself money.
Honestly, I've never been Rick rolled before. But yet, I know what it is. And, if I did get Rick rolled, I wouldn't mind 😂. It's a pretty good song. Also, great video man. I always get happy when you make a new video! Keep up the good work okay? 😁
Rickrolling did get rather annoying for a brief moment of time, because too many people were going mental creating Rickroll videos. So it got to the point that many people would not wanna click on any links anymore, as they would assume that it was gonna be just another tedious Rickroll. It was everywhere!!! You could be trying to look up something serious, and it would constantly jump out at some point... Rickroll, Rickroll, Rickroll, Rickroll, Rickroll, Rickroll, Rickroll.... The first few times one would be Rickrolled, it was funny. But it did genuinely become a bit of a pain for so many people. It's only really after some years, and the trend dying out, that people can now look back and laugh at it. But it wasn't always something to laugh about. It did genuinely become a damn nuisance for so many after way too many people were actually killing the humour of it.
Hey Alfo this is unrelated to the topic but I’m never gonna be this early again. You have introduced me to music that has genuinely changed my life. I went from a passive listener to constantly listening to something new. You also made me a 🌊🌊. Most importantly you inspired me to consider music a viable career. I doubt that I will ever go anywhere making my own but I know that I just wanna do something in the music industry. Whether that’s producing, writing, making it, talking about it like you, or critiquing it like Anthony Fantano. You may not realize it but you have had such a profound impact on my life.
@Tu sutiya hai The "lemon" I was referring to was the song becoming a meme, resulting to its another rise in popularity. The "lemonade" was that he didn't despise the fact that his song or even him himself became a meme. He was just cool about it and he doesn't give a damn. The other thing is that lemons are sour, just like the difficulties in life. Instead of feeling bad because he became a meme, he thought of it as a positive and desirable outcome.
that first rick-roller must be so proud now, knowing hes the father of a timeless evergreen meme. I can picture 100s of years in the future someone getting rickrolled to a fake link of gta 7
Sounds about right. GTA5 will be kept alive making all the big bucks for about 40 plus more years, then the next 60-80 years will be GTA6.. GTA7 in 100-120 years, math adds up!

What makes never gonna give you up a great song are some simple things.
In his voice you can feel he means it to who ever it's ment for. There is emotion and feeling there.
While it was very low budget with him just using clothing he owned in a rather random place. He looked like he was having a good time and enjoying himself along with everyone else in it.

I know! I tried to prank one of my friends and she was like "Wait! That VOICE!" He really does have an amazing voice!
Especially considering the recording quality back then isn't anywhere near what it is today, He puts 99.98% of modern singers to shame, so shameful in fact I actually start to feel sorry for them. I'm not even a fan of rick, but I have to admit his voice is as smooth as butter.
A nearly operatic voice, catchy disco beat and lyrics, the song literally became a hit out of nowhere. Rick Astley made out pretty well, I wish him all the best.
Rick rollls then: "here is the link bro." "Nooooo why is there a song?"
Rick rollls now: "here's a Rick roll." "Thanks man really appreciate it."

The song is a reminder of how different things were back then. People were a lot less self-conscious and there was a feel good factor that is missing today. This is really why this song became so popular. The meme was just an excuse to listen to what is arguably a guilty pleasure kind of song

I saw a video where Rick Astley himself did rick roll people personally. And yes he didn't just give a concert or something, he really did rick roll people.

My favorite thing is that Rick Astley himself has been rick rolled. It was around two days before this video was posted on the r/pics subreddit. It was from a comment on a pic from his first tour. The rick roller claimed to have met Rick Astley during a back stage event when he was twelve and included a link to what would be assumed to be a picture, but of course it wasn't. The rick roller has received nearly 2600 awards on this comment which will give him years of reddit premium according to a post on r/theydidthemath. I don't know how this guy will ever feel joy again like what could possibly come close to this accomplishment.
Sex? nah.
Money? nah.

This is still my favorite 80's song. It's my husband and my song when we first started dating in March '87. I had heard of Rickrolling but didn't understand what it was or how it started, so thanks for the explanation. Rick has a great voice and I am glad it has helped him relaunch his career. I don't know him personally, of course, but glad he kept the iconic song as is. It was that perfect window into some of the best lighthearted dance music of the era.
Nora I’m mid fifties. Till date I can only dance to this song and Dancing in the Dark.
We should mention rickrolling in the internet every 9 years or so, to keep it alive forever.

you always expect any link to be a rickroll, it feels like everyone is just so fucking A B S O R B E D in it.

dude...Rick rolling made him relevant again, so many people wouldn't even know his name if it weren't for Rick Rolling. He tours now because of it, you can go order tickets from a link on his youtube channel, on his video which has over a billion views, it resurrected his career. He would make LESS money from an add because it would ruin Rick Rolling, but yes it is everything that he is not money hungry enough to lose himself money.

Honestly, I've never been Rick rolled before. But yet, I know what it is. And, if I did get Rick rolled, I wouldn't mind 😂. It's a pretty good song. Also, great video man. I always get happy when you make a new video! Keep up the good work okay? 😁
We all got Rick rolled at the start
Rickrolling did get rather annoying for a brief moment of time, because too many people were going mental creating Rickroll videos.
So it got to the point that many people would not wanna click on any links anymore, as they would assume that it was gonna be just another tedious Rickroll.
It was everywhere!!! You could be trying to look up something serious, and it would constantly jump out at some point... Rickroll, Rickroll, Rickroll, Rickroll, Rickroll, Rickroll, Rickroll....
The first few times one would be Rickrolled, it was funny. But it did genuinely become a bit of a pain for so many people.
It's only really after some years, and the trend dying out, that people can now look back and laugh at it.
But it wasn't always something to laugh about. It did genuinely become a damn nuisance for so many after way too many people were actually killing the humour of it.
Hey Alfo this is unrelated to the topic but I’m never gonna be this early again. You have introduced me to music that has genuinely changed my life. I went from a passive listener to constantly listening to something new. You also made me a 🌊🌊. Most importantly you inspired me to consider music a viable career. I doubt that I will ever go anywhere making my own but I know that I just wanna do something in the music industry. Whether that’s producing, writing, making it, talking about it like you, or critiquing it like Anthony Fantano. You may not realize it but you have had such a profound impact on my life.
I really appreciate this!! thank you for all the love. glad I've helped you in one way or another

Rick Astley was given a lemon, and he made a lemonade that changed his life.
@Tu sutiya hai The "lemon" I was referring to was the song becoming a meme, resulting to its another rise in popularity. The "lemonade" was that he didn't despise the fact that his song or even him himself became a meme. He was just cool about it and he doesn't give a damn.
The other thing is that lemons are sour, just like the difficulties in life. Instead of feeling bad because he became a meme, he thought of it as a positive and desirable outcome.
