Never Gonna Give You Up was released by British singer Rick Astley in 1987 and became a number one hit in more than twenty countries. From 2007 the song found a second life through rickrolling, where a misleading link or video unexpectedly leads to its music video. Instrumental covers on piano, recorder and flute became a popular softer variant online, letting creators hide the melody in vlogs, tutorials and presentations before the audience notices the familiar tune and realises they have been rickrolled again.

Flute cover of Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You Up, the classic rickroll melody played as a sweet, breathy instrumental for meme edits and pranks.
The recognisable opening melody of Never Gonna Give You Up is reimagined here on flute, turning a huge pop chorus into something light, airy and unexpectedly sincere. The notes stay faithful to Rick Astley's original tune, but the soft breathy tone removes the vocals and makes the joke land more gently. Listeners usually realise what it is within a few seconds, which is where the humour comes from, the moment a calm instrumental quietly reveals itself as a rickroll in disguise, perfect for catching an audience off guard without being loud or obvious.
