Awesome Rickroll

Rick Astley’s Never Gonna Give You Up is closing in on a billion YouTube views, thanks in large part to its use as the world’s number one prank. Alfo Media offers a retrospective on musician Rick Astley, the music video itself, where the term “Rickroll” comes from, and the impact the meme has had on Astley’s career.

We suppose it’s not officially a Rickroll unless it catches you off guard, but whatever you call it, Gud Nuse’s emotionally-charged piano and electric guitar arrangement of Rick Astley’s Never Gonna Give You Up is a legitimately awesome cover version.
