Thought about it recently as I realized that I really like the song.
I really like the song unironically.
I’m no stranger to love.
It’s a certified bop.
You know the rules and so do I.
I listen to the whole song when I’m Rick rolled.
A full commitment’s what I’m thinkin’ of.
No you guys don’t
You wouldn’t get this from any other guy
I honestly feel like people who hate that song are the outliers.
It is a certified banger
Maybe but iirc the joke started on 4chan, with the idea that everyone there was so used to traditional horrific shock images/videos that they don’t bother them, but such a person might be uniquely vulnerable to being annoyed by a cheesy love song presented in the same way.
Yeqh, really says something when someone gets pissed off for not getting their dose of isis beheading videos and instead is made to watch a love song music video…
I think it was so successful because of how solid the song is. As soon as you hear that aggressive drum intro the song is so catchy that it all appears at once in your head.
Look, I’m never bothered by a rick roll because before rickrolling there was goatse. Rickrolling is a vast improvement.
People who didn’t open an attachment that played “I’M LOOKING AT PORN OVER HERE” in the office complaining about getting a nice unexpected serenade from Rick Astley.
its me. I’m people.
Well of course of I know him, he’s me
This song is great.
As a someone that grew up in the '80s, that song is amazing.
I am one of those people!
I host my own cloud and various other services for myself and whole family. Any 404 resolves to a rickroll and I’m never mad, often letting it play fully.
404 - I have no idea what you’re looking for, but I know this’ll cheer you up …
The Not Found error page did not want to give you up, nor let you down.
I liked it when it came out, still do
Fun and possibly helpful fact: it’s got a BPM of 114, which makes it suitable for compressions-only CPR!
I love Never Gonna Give You Up *and Together Forever
Rick Astley has an amazing voice. His covers he did a couple years ago on YouTube are pretty good too.
Rick Astley is the shiznit.
I don’t think it would be an unpopular opinion to say that I also like that song!
I didn’t know the song before Rick Roll was a thing and I quite enjoyed it. I have other songs by Rick Astley in my playlist these days.
