First Rick Astley song in 17 years.

[Hiphophippo]

As someone who kinda enjoyed being rick rolled, I have to say...it's a pretty good song. Been stuck in my head all morning. Where some people would be bothered by the nature of surge of internet fame the last few years Rick seems to have a good sense of humor about it.

It's a good song. How do you guys feel about it?

 

[Jack and Calumon]

I like it. Well done Rick. You deserve a comeback more than Britney does.

Calumon: Some call someone to fix his switch so he can turn the lights out.

 

[WolfThomas]

It's not bad, but very generic. Despite it's meme status "Never gonna give you up", has a unique (well these days) pop to it. It's a fun song, this is just boring.

 

[A Pious Cultist]

Better than Paul McCartney's recent stuff.

 

[Hiphophippo]

I love that after all this time it's clear he was singing "Never gonna give up" to his hair style.

 

[Vault boy Eddie]

What, no black guys backflipping off of walls? Poor show old chap poor show!

 

[Goldeneye1989]

In before someone links Rickroll that interrupts to this song.

Metaroll

In honor of Mr. Astley I visited pagereboot.com in my participation in Operation Lights Out. Turns out the entire weight of the internet doing the exact same thing killed their server.

Oh internet, how i love you.

Generic, but accomplished. Fair enough for him to see if his meme status gets him the name recognition to sell another single.

 

[RobCoxxy]

He played this live. When I met him. For my Birthday.

The only think I was thinking was "How the hell does Rick Astley play an arena venue?".

I mean seriously, first song in 17 years. 1 song popular through a meme. Never had any critical acclaim or cult following. You don't see Tay Zonday playing things like this.

Well, to be fair Never Gonna Give you Up didn't make him a star. He was pretty crazy popular back in his day. People never gave up on him.

 

[The_root_of_all_evil]

Well he said he's never gonna give us up.

Still, I never thought he was that popular. I mean, its hardly the LZ reunion. I would be more like if Backstreet Boys decided to reunite in about a decades time.

 

[YoyoTimes5]

its good...

 

[FaceFaceFace]

I like how he still has the same basic style of video. He should've had the bartender come back too, though. Would've been epic.

 

[Tharwen]

He's just not the same without the epic ginger hair...

Hey, he looks like Michael Shanks!
