They Rickrolled us four times before they were done. You really must see the one with Bohemian Rhapsody. You missed Tim doing the worm. You looked away for a second and missed it.
I was SO MAD when I realized that they didn't finish Bohemian Rhapsody! They sound incredible singing it! Zac Brown Band does an outstanding cover of Bohemian as well.
This was an April Fools drop and we were ALL Rick Rolled! Not just once but three times. When they finally dropped the full version we all died. The costumes, the dances, Tim's worm , Austin's Canadian tuxedo. Classic!
This April Fool's "rick roll" makes this overdone 80's tune worth listening to again! Love to see the Home Free guys flaunting their nerdiness and showing us their sense of humor❣️🎼🥰🎶❤️
It was always worth listening to. Rick pumped it out again at Glastonbury this year and wowed an audience of thousands, who all sang along like angels.
The correct term for Tim would be "grunge", not pirate! Lol You completely missed his "worm" dance. Hopefully you went back and watched this after the camera was turned off! Adam's "dad dancing" ki l l ed me!! LOL Austin's "Canadian tuxedo" (denim on denim) was hilarious! 😂🤣 You really need to find the other 2 shorts they put out the same day - April Fool's Day - "My Heart Will Go On" and "Bohemian Rhapsody"! "Bohemian Rhapsody" was SPOT ON and I SO wish they'd do the full cover!! The beginning was the best cover I've heard anyone do. 😳🎶❤🤯
Want to see Home Free doing a real dance? Check out their cover of "Blue Ain't Your Color". They do honest to goodness choreography and it's fantastic.
Yup, Austin went full ham on this one, and it was GLORIOUS! Tim wasn't far behind, and I think even Chance is under-rated, with his "I'm too cool for this normally, but heck I can bring on the Dad-dancing too!" vibe. As to how they can still look great while performing goofy dance moves? The secret is *100% commitment.* It's what I was taught on my Performing Arts course; if you know you're going to be doing something where you'll be looking ridiculous, the secret is to do it 100% seriously, as if you truly believe what you're doing is the coolest thing a human could do and everyone's going to be wowed by it. Sounds crazy, but it does work!
It was an April Fool's joke and Home Free Rick rolled us 3x before this video with Bohemian Rhapsody, Don't Stop Believing and My Heart Will Go On. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.😂
I saw HF in Oslo, Norway last week and we got Rick rolled there! Started off with their slow, chilled intro to Ring of Fire, but then instead of jumping into the chorus they jumped into Never Gonna Give You Up! Well played, Home Free, well played...
I finally hit the bottom of your home free Playlist! It took me a week, but it's been an amazing journey! Love your channel. You are one of the most genuine reactors on UA-cam! Love you, keep up the good work! Also, How great thou art needs to be on your list.
What about reacting the other versions of the four rickrolls than led up to the actual video? That was a pandemic April Fool's treat for the Home Fries. CHEERS!!
When I was a young impressionable actor in London, I had a boyfriend for a short while who was a film producer. I thought he was very sophisticated. Then we went to a party and he hit the dance floor. I'm not kidding, it was very close to Austin's Spastic Chicken. I fled and wouldn't speak to him again. There is a TikTok on Austin's account of Amberly in the middle of doing his hair, hairspray in hand and a curious expression of someone who doesn't know whether to laugh or weep. His TikTok and IG accounts from a few years back are full of gems like that (his foul-mouthed Micky Mouse is my favourite). I believe this was the first appearance in a video of Austin's cat Dawg, but since then he has graduated to starring roles. There's nothing piratical about Tim's make up. That's a genuine Mark Knopfler hairdo. At the time quite a lot of young men went out dancing in full make up, and very nice they looked too. A friend of mine used to take me to THE gay club in London, Heaven, and Tim would have fitted right in (more than I did, never convincing anyone that I was a man in drag). There are other Rickrolling intros to check out, particularly Bohemian Rhapsody. My Heart Will Go On is just plain ridiculous.
Yeah we got rickrolled 3 times before we saw this. Their Bohemian Rhapsody is awesome! You missed Tim’s worm!! Also your sound is so good that I heard Tim’s background sounds too and it was so good. Loved your reaction. You had me laughing out loud. 🥰 😍
Loved your reaction and the "Rick roll". That goofy dancing, as you call it, was the 80's for you. Looking back on it, we looked goofy, danced goofy, but it was the best era
This was so much fun! We Home Fries were gun shy for a while that each new song that came out right after this one whether we were going to get Rick Rolled again LOL. Just love these guys and really enjoyed your reaction!
@@itzel1735 I think it was that he took part in a group dance in a competition when he was in high school, and they danced to Paula Abdul, but I can't swear to the details.
@@sallymaria Thanks. Could be. I heard Paula Abdul, and my thoughts went to the Co. Dance competitions in the late 90’s she was associated with. Honestly, I don’t blame anyone for trying to forget a dance competition experience, some could be pretty cringe.
@itzel1735 Actually, you may be right on that - I didn't know about the competitions otherwise (old and British) so my brain didn't catch on to that bit. I'm pretty sure it was with school, but they could have been competing as a team.
yes they sure did rickroll us 4 times...it was hilarious!!! you missed Austin's cat behind him & you did miss Tim doing the worm...watch it again it's so worth it...loved both your reactions ❤
Home Free's cover of "Never Gonna Give You Up" always makes me smile. Your reaction made me really grin! It was nice watching you enjoy this and laugh! Very enjoyable! Thanks for making me happy.
I'm sure Rob is older than that. Austin has always been the 'baby' around 5 years younger than the rest, and he's now 38. Chance is older.than him too.
As far as the song, it is still being played on one of our local radio stations. It seems proof that people like the song well enough for it to be played decades after it came out. Of course Home Free always manages to make a song sound better than the original.
DJ, they Rickrolled us THREE TIMES that particular April Fools Day. Three times, and we were all getting a bit twitchy. I think they didn't drop the full song until the next day, if I recall correctly. ACK - how could you miss Tim doing the worm???
These guys are so goofy & funny but the vocals never suffer. This was them spoofing the famous song by Rick Astley from the 80's. They copied the clothes, hairstyles & dance moves from the original video. Also they filmed it in the old resolution from that time. The guys were very creative in bringing us great content during the pandemic.
I've been looking forward to seeing your eventual reaction to Never Gonna Give You Up and you didn't disappoint 😂 Your joy and appreciation for the music and the artists really shines through. Congratulations on 8K!
In 2019 Rick Astley released an album titled The Best of Me, with some of his original tracks and some reimagined versions, including a slowed down version of Never Gonna Give You Up. It’s just Rick and a piano and it’s absolutely beautiful
As always, you are my favorite reactor, and this reaction did not disappoint! If you go back and watch Rick Astley's original video, you'll see that the HF guys are dressed in ALL three of Rick's outfits (including the hairstyle). Adam R. seems to be the blonde dude dancer in the white t-shirt. Tim seems to be a catch-all for the other backup dancers/models (including the women) and the bartender. As has been pointed out in other comments, Tim's dance moves (especially the worm) are freakin' HILARIOUS, but because the scenes change every second or two in the HF version, it's really easy to miss a lot of stuff. So after you're done with the Rick Astley version, I would recommend watching this at least once without closing your eyes or looking away for any lengthy period of time (yes, please blink 🙂) just so you can take in the absolute gloriousness of all the little details they are doing as an homage to the original video.
This is so great... 😆😆Austin looks so "geeky" with the baggy jeans, and Tim "running man"... well what can I say but "Bad-Ass geek" is hilarious and Adam is so cool in the seventies vibe. Chance has got some "groovy" moves and looks so "cool". 😅😅 Rob is just your "star crossed lover boy" trying to be cool. 😍😍 This just cracks me up! I love it when they do silly things and just have fun making videos and songs. I so badly want to meet these guys one day. Thanks for your fun reaction and keep 'em comin' !!
Great version and reaction to it but you looked away right at the moment Tim did the "worm"!! Funniest part of it in my opinion. 😂 Rob sounds really good singing this - his voice suits it so well. Unable to join you on Patreon but would love to know which JoYo short you reacted to - hope it was one of his pirate/shanty ones! Also hope you do a full reaction to any of his shanties some time soon. 🏴☠😃
Call me crazy too, i liked Rick Astley and I loved this song!❤️. And I love d how these guys performed it!😂❤ They are so talented and can be so fun at the same time and I love it so much! Austin was the best with his hair and his goofy dancing, made me laugh the whole time and Tim with his gum moves just made my chin drop to the floor! All the guys singing, Rob’s voice sounded great leading this one!❤❤ Glad you reacted to the full version!❤️👍
Never. Never. EVER look away from a Home Free video. EVER. 😂❤❤
They Rickrolled us four times before they were done.
You really must see the one with Bohemian Rhapsody.
You missed Tim doing the worm. You looked away for a second and missed it.
The BoRap intro is very good.
Titanic May be the funniest 😂
The worm is the best part of this! Besides all of the other parts that are the best. :D Yeah, def go watch again JUST to see Tim's worm moves.
@@mimic1176 14:34
I was SO MAD when I realized that they didn't finish Bohemian Rhapsody! They sound incredible singing it! Zac Brown Band does an outstanding cover of Bohemian as well.
You missed Tim doing the worm and there are two other rickroll shorts you haven't seen.
11:29 Time stamp for Tim doing the worm.
So much going on, but Tim doing the worm…….I have no words! 🤣
Many hair products gave their lives to bring us this video 😂
It was a running joke on The Sing-Off that Home Free can't dance. They even had competitors teaching them dance moves to help them.
Yep. I believe Ben Folds compared him to a refrigerator and a wise tree. 😂
This was an April Fools drop and we were ALL Rick Rolled! Not just once but three times. When they finally dropped the full version we all died. The costumes, the dances, Tim's worm , Austin's Canadian tuxedo. Classic!

Rob's moving like Rick was epic. Check out Blue Ain't Your Color for some real moves. Epic reaction!!🤣🤣🤣
You didn't mention Dawg, Austin's cat! So disappointed... 🤣 j/k! 🤣

He's done "Blue Ain't Your Color". ua-cam.com/video/a85npItqEmM/v-deo.htmlsi=sWq2j-Bxdle-GHGo
You totally missed Tim doing the worm!!! And that Austin's shirt is tied in a knot in the back!!
Austin’s cat was behind him at one point.
Based on what I can see, Austins shirt wasn't tied but clipped back with binder clips, lol.
@@sgeulaicheapaodhan794 Yep, when they sent the shirt it was far too big. Redneck ingenuity came to the rescue, lockdown style.
Once again proving you can't second guess Home Free. Thanks.
You missed the greatness that was Tim doing the worm!!!!
Everyone of them except Tim had outfits that Rick Astley wore in his original video. Really enjoyed watching your reaction to this song.
I just want to say that l have always thought Adam Rupp in eyeliner is one of the most attractive things l have ever seen!!
Did you see Adam’s interview on the German country online magazine? They don’t let him speak much on stage but he did great in the interview.
And you had your eyes closed and missed Tim doing the worm. Love your reactions.
Home Free sure knows how to please an audience, even if it’s only one.😂😂😂❤️🐇
Yup, Austin went full ham on this one, and it was GLORIOUS! Tim wasn't far behind, and I think even Chance is under-rated, with his "I'm too cool for this normally, but heck I can bring on the Dad-dancing too!" vibe.

Austin's crotch thrust move is called The Urkel. It's the signature dance move of Steve Urkel in the 90's tv show Family Matters.
Did you catch the clip on Austin's back gathering his shirt? You can catch a glimpse as he spins.
How can anyone not love theese guys!! 😂❤
Must rewatch for the Worm move. Time stamp: 11 mins 29sec
Lol this was such a great April Fools prank they did 😂😂😂
Your initial reaction to the short was classic 😂😂😂
Their intro to "Don't Stop Believing" transitioning into "Don't Stop Believing" was an April's Fool's Day trick Home Free played on the Home Fries!
I finally hit the bottom of your home free Playlist! It took me a week, but it's been an amazing journey! Love your channel. You are one of the most genuine reactors on UA-cam! Love you, keep up the good work! Also, How great thou art needs to be on your list.
I laugh every time I see the binder clips on the back of Austin's shirt to make it fit.
I loved the series of Rick Roll shorts leading up to the release of this video.
What about reacting the other versions of the four rickrolls than led up to the actual video? That was a pandemic April Fool's treat for the Home Fries. CHEERS!!

What cracked me up, was the clips on Austins back to make the shirt fit. 😂

That face makes me think you just saw Austin 😂
Edit: Ok. Home Free caught you. 😂. They did it to us 3 times. Three times!
Me, too! Or Tim's eyeliner. I love this video.
Ah you didn’t notice Tim’s worm 😢 did you notice the pegs on the reverse of Austin’s shirt? 😂
It's like Victor Borge... you have to be able to do it really, really well to pull off doing it badly
Loved your reaction and the "Rick roll". That goofy dancing, as you call it, was the 80's for you. Looking back on it, we looked goofy, danced goofy, but it was the best era
You need to remember this was done during covid shut down. Each from their respective homes areas Austin was in his front yard.
You missed Tim doing the worm move. Lol. Love to see you enjoying the music so much😊😂❤
This was so much fun! We Home Fries were gun shy for a while that each new song that came out right after this one whether we were going to get Rick Rolled again LOL. Just love these guys and really enjoyed your reaction!
You need to see the tec-tock of Amberley and Austin dancing in their driveway. Its hysterical
Tim's lookin good and has the moves!! AUSTIN, AUSTIN, AUSTIN!! LOL
Did I read somewhere that Tim competed at a Paula Abdul dance event? I’m assuming it was a group number and it scarred him for life.
@@itzel1735 I think it was that he took part in a group dance in a competition when he was in high school, and they danced to Paula Abdul, but I can't swear to the details.

I'm convinced this dancing (esp Austin!) is what happens when you leave a couple of these guys alone in Covid lockdown for too long! 😂
LOL!!! They got everybody!
Did you notice the binder clips on the back of Austin's shirt because it's SO big lol. Cracked me up... well that and the pants jiggle.
yes they sure did rickroll us 4 times...it was hilarious!!! you missed Austin's cat behind him & you did miss Tim doing the worm...watch it again it's so worth it...loved both your reactions ❤
Tim is rocking a Keith Richard’s look with the bandana
Ohhhhhhh boy, I didn't realize you hadn't seen this one. Yay!!
You missed Tim doing the worm...I was waiting the whole song to see your reaction to that 😂
Did you notice Austin’s cat “Dawg” laying on the sidewalk behind him.
This was one of their best comedic songs! But the vocals!! Loved your reaction!!❤
It's the binder clips on the back of Austin's shirt that get me every time.
Home Free's cover of "Never Gonna Give You Up" always makes me smile. Your reaction made me really grin! It was nice watching you enjoy this and laugh! Very enjoyable! Thanks for making me happy.
Austen....can't unsee that
Beautiful, - And Hilarious! 😂
Oh what a great reaction, thank you for including the clip of your first rickroll.
Tim did the worm and you weren't looking! :)
Great reaction 😂 very funny. I love how they rick rolled people in this one and I love how there nerdness shows up so great to see.
Funniest thing is most of this Band remembers an OK amount of the 80s too. Timmy is the elder at 42 (so 1981). Rob is 37. Chance is 38.
I'm sure Rob is older than that. Austin has always been the 'baby' around 5 years younger than the rest, and he's now 38. Chance is older.than him too.
@@patriciamcl54 you are correct. He is 40.
These guys will drop this in lots of projects just for a laugh.
Such a fun reaction DJ, thanks

Hmm. It's as good as the original. I wouldn't say better - Rick was and still is an amazing talent.
You will never forget when you reached 8000 followers😍
Missed Tim doing the worm.
DJ, they Rickrolled us THREE TIMES that particular April Fools Day. Three times, and we were all getting a bit twitchy. I think they didn't drop the full song until the next day, if I recall correctly.
ACK - how could you miss Tim doing the worm???
Austin has a TT of Amberly doing his hair for this.
Tim often does the running man in the live shows.
Love this song so much. I am sure they had a blast making this. Love your reaction!

It’s a great song and Rick Astley has killer vocals. He still sounds great.
...just try to imagine them singing/dancing together instead of separately! 😀
You missed Tim's worm! Rewind please! Thanks!
Austin looks like Johnny Bravo inthis video. Cracks me up.

That was so fun
They killed it while being funny😂
This made me curious about how long rickrolling has been a thing, so I checked when it first started.
2007.
16 years.

On the Oslo concert, they Rickrolled us live.... 😅
YOU MISSED TIM DOING THE WORM! 11:29
You missed Tim doing the worm!!! Watch it again!!! Austin and Rob can sing Opera. Watch it again!!! Tim!!!

You weren’t watching when Tim did the worm!
The released three shorts on April 1
You mised Tim doing the worm.
😊
I just subscribe to you!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Like when superfruits do a piss take and sing amazingly terribly.
You didn’t comment on Tim doing The Worm!!
