Music video for Never Gonna Give You lot Upwards
video icon Rick Astley - Never Gonna Requite Y'all Upwards (Official Music Video)

Rickrolling or a Rickroll, is an Internet meme involving pranking an unexpected appearance of the music video for the 1987 vocal "Never Gonna Give You Up," performed by the English singer Rick Astley. The meme is a type of bait and switch, usually using a disguised hyperlink that leads to the music video. When victims click on a seemingly unrelated link, the site with the music video loads instead of what was expected, and they have been "Rickrolled". The meme has also extended to using the song's lyrics, or singing it, in unexpected contexts. Astley himself has also been Rickrolled several times.[1] [2] [3] [iv]

The meme grew out of a similar bait-and-switch trick called "duck rolling" that was popular on the 4chan website in 2006. The video bait-and-switch play tricks grew popular on 4chan by 2007 April Fools' Day and spread to other Internet sites later that yr. The meme gained mainstream attention in 2008 through several publicized events, particularly when YouTube used it on its 2008 Apr Fools' Day event.[v]

Astley, who had only returned to performing after a ten-yr hiatus, was initially hesitant virtually using his newfound popularity from the meme to further his career but accepted the fame by Rickrolling the 2008 Macy'south Thanksgiving Twenty-four hours Parade with a surprise performance of the vocal. Since and so, Astley has seen his performance career revitalized by the meme'south popularity.

History

Origin

"Never Gonna Requite You Up" appeared on Astley's 1987 debut anthology Whenever You lot Need Somebody.[6] The song, his solo debut unmarried, was a number-one hit on several international charts, including the Billboard Hot 100, Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks, and the UK Singles Chart. The accompanying music video, Astley's first, features him performing the song while dancing.[7]

The employ of the vocal for rickrolling dates to 2006, originating from the 4chan imageboard in an early meme known as "duck rolling". Sometime in 2006, the site moderator, Christopher "m00t" Poole, implemented a discussion filter replacing the word "egg" with "duck" as a gag. On one thread, where "eggroll" had get "duckroll", an anonymous user posted an edited image of a duck with wheels, calling it a "duckroll". The epitome defenseless on across 4chan; the image would be the target of a hyperlink with an otherwise interesting title, with a user clicking through having been stated to exist "duck rolled".[viii]

In March 2007, the commencement trailer for the highly predictable Yard Theft Auto IV was released onto the Rockstar Games website. Viewership was so high that it crashed Rockstar's site. Several users helped to mail mirrors of the video on different sites, but i user on 4chan had linked to the "Never Gonna Give You Up" video claiming to be the trailer, tricking numerous readers into the bait-and-switch. This practice rapidly replaced duck rolling for other alluring links, all by and large pointing to Astley'south video, and thus creating the practice of "rickrolling".[8] The bait-and-switch to "Never Gonna Give You lot Upwardly" greatly expanded on 4chan on Apr Fools' Solar day in 2007, and led to the trick expanding to other sites like Fark and Digg after that year, quickly adding the name "rickrolling" based on the prior "duck rolling".[8]

A precursor of "rickrolling" occurred in 2006, when rural Michigan resident Erik Helwig called in to a local radio sports-talk show and, instead of conversing with the DJs, played "Never Gonna Requite You Up", leaving the DJs speechless. While this occurred before 4chan'southward use of the song, Know Your Meme editor-in-main Don Caldwell said in that location was no directly confirmation of whether it had inspired the 4chan apply of the video.[ix]

Growth in 2008

The Internet group Anonymous, as office of their Project Chanology to claiming this censoring, protested at the Church building's diverse headquarters across the globe by chanting the vocal, amidst other activities.[11] A number of collegiate basketball games in March 2008 had people dressing upwardly as Astley from the video and lip-syncing to the music as a prank before the kickoff of the game.[12] YouTube's 2008 April Fools joke made featured video hyperlinks on the site's home page end up on the music video.[thirteen] [14] In Apr 2008, the New York Mets baseball team asked fans on the cyberspace what vocal they should use for their eighth-inning rally vocal.

As the Neil Diamond song was most to reach the chorus, however, the video-board suddenly switched to "Never Gonna Give You Upwards", much to the amusement of the crowd.[32]

On 13 October 2019, the Sunday nighttime NFL game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Los Angeles Chargers at Nobility Wellness Sports Park featured a instance of rickrolling when the PA announcers, after a Chargers touchdown brought the score to 24-10 Pittsburgh, decided to troll the partisan crowd by playing the beginning of the Styx song "Renegade" (which had been played at the Steelers home Heinz Field since 2001) simply to transition into "Never Gonna Requite Yous Up".
