Or maybe it's just because of the cheesy '80s look and goofy dancing. It's notable that according to VH1's Pop-Up Video, even record producers didn't believe Astley's voice was real at first. Know Your Meme has posited that the juxtaposition of the soulful baritone in the song with Astley's youthful scrawny ginger looks may have contributed some unintentional hilarity to suddenly having that video pop up onscreen. The music video for Rick Astleys 1987 hit, 'Never Gonna Give You Up,' has hit a billion YouTube views. Rickrolling is when you click on a link for something but, end up watching Rick Astleys Never Gonna Give you up. The reason for choosing this video in particular are unclear. 'Never Gonna Give You Up' is the debut single recorded by English singer and songwriter Rick Astley, released on 27 July 1987. An enterprising 4channer put out a video on YouTube in May 2007 pretending to be the new GTA4 trailer, but instead was the video for Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up," and thus, the Rickroll was born. He followed it with Beautiful Life in 2018.Then came the trailer for the then-new Grand Theft Auto IV, which was so popular it crashed the Rockstar Games website.
