One of the downsides of using a clock radio alarm to wake up in the morning is the nonzero possibility of waking up to Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You Up.

What a rickroll is: being tricked into watching the music video for 1987's hit Never Gonna Give You Up. Being randomly exposed to the song may or may not count.

What a rickroll ISN'T:

- just seeing Rick Astley in a picture or video

- just hearing any of his songs that aren't NGGYU

- just reading his name somewhere

EDIT: i actually did 2 secs of research & it turns out he made a full new version of the song w/ misheard lyrics as a collaboration w/ specsavers to raise awareness about hearing loss! 👍

[Video ID: a TikTok video from the user rickastleyofficial showing Rick Astley, an older white man with short brown hair, singing a parody of ‘Never Gonna Give You Up’ in a recording booth. The changed lyrics are:

Then I’m gonna give you up, then I’m gonna let you down / then I’m gonna run around with dessert spoons

Then I’m gonna make you cry, then I’m gonna say goodbye / then I’m gonna tell a lie and hurt you.]

[one-time-i-dreamt]

I got rickrolled. I don’t remember anything else besides waking up and having the second half of the song continuing in my head.

Who is 4Chan?

Dion 4Chan was an occultist writer in the 1900s who invented soy milk, brony fandom, and hacktivism. She wrote several novels about a thinly veiled Crowley spoof named Hugo Astley, likely resulting in the homunculus known as Rick Astley and his popular rolls.
