Today I learned about Rick Rolling. I was minding my own business when out of nowhere Dave links to the xkcd comic as he so often does. After I give in and add it to my RSS reader, Dave tells me to check out the xkcd blog where there is a link to the music in the comic. A quick Google Yahoo search of Rick Rolling reveals the official link. (haha, got you again.) The comments are priceless although most of them are just, “damn”.
So the funny thing is, I actually really like the song! Shut up, seriously. Never mind the catchy tune, check out that sexy deep voice! A couple months ago I stumbled upon the VH1 Pop-up video version of Never Gonna Give You Up which I now embed here so you can all remember the joy of Rick Astley and Pop-Up Video:
I’m glad that when people on the internet have nothing better to do, they do things that make me laugh.
Update: Thanks for the link to the Family Guy version, Hackel!
Much prefer (what in my sheltered world was) the original…
Bah, it stripped out the object tag…

Clay Aiken reminds me of Rick Astley.
John Edwards reminds me or Rick Astley, which is probably the main reason I don’t like him.
