Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up
"Never Gonna Give You Up" is a 1987 song by British singer Rick Astley. The song was a worldwide number-one hit, initially in the singer's native United Kingdom in 1987. In 2004, it was voted #28 in 50 Most Awesomely Bad Songs ... Ever by VH1. In 2008, Rick Astley won the MTV EMA awards for "Best Act Ever" with the song "Never Gonna Give You Up", as a result of collective voting from thousands of people on the internet, due to the popular phenomenon of Rickrolling.
"Never Gonna Give You Up" is the subject of a popular Internet prank known as "Rickrolling" involving misleading links redirecting to the song's music video.[6] By May 2007, the practice had achieved notoriety on the Internet, and it increased in popularity after its use as a 2008 April Fool's Day joke by various media companies and websites, including YouTube rickrolling all of its featured videos on that day and a website allowing people to Rickroll their friends' phones.
Enjoy (if you can)!
