| rdfs:comment | - Sometimes, people make random topics in Off-Topic that look like the above. They lead to a video like that. Aaugh! My eyes! ~Bowser Jr. Even a user on digibutter.nerr.biz uses the name 'Rick Roll' as a RP character!
- Astley recorded "Never Gonna Give You Up" on his 1987 album Whenever You Need Somebody. The song, his debut single, was a Number One hit for him on the [[Billboard Hot 100]] and Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks charts, as well as several international charts. As a means of promoting the song, it was also made into Astley's first music video, which features him performing the song while dancing.
- Rickrolling is a 2008 Internet meme typically involving the music video for the 1987 Rick Astley song "Never Gonna Give You Up". The meme is a bait and switch: a person provides a Web link that he or she thinks is is fun to see , but the link actually takes the user to the Astley video. The URL can be masked or obfuscated in some manner so that the user cannot determine the true source of the link without clicking. When a person clicks on the link and is led to the web page, he or she is said to have been "Rickrolled" (also spelled Rickroll'd).

When a person clicks on the link and is led to the web page, he or she is said to have been "Rickrolled" (also spelled Rickroll'd). As the practice has spread, two of the various Rickrolling videos available online have been viewed more than twelve million times each. These figures track the total number of visits, not individual viewers. Rickrolling has extended beyond Web links to playing the video or song disruptively in other situations, including public places; this culminated when Astley and the song made a surprise appearance in the 2008 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, a televised event with tens of millions of viewers.
