Never Gonna Give You Up was released by Rick Astley in 1987 and became a worldwide pop hit long before the internet turned it into a prank. In the late 2000s, users began disguising links to its music video as news stories, downloads or important announcements, a bait-and-switch that became known as Rickrolling. The joke spread through forums, social media and April Fools stunts, helped by how instantly recognisable the chorus is. It remains popular because the reveal is harmless, nostalgic and easy to understand even for people who have never seen the original video.

The classic Rickroll clip from Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You Up, used as a surprise prank when a link promises one thing and plays this song instead.
This short clip captures the opening of Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You Up, the cheerful 1980s pop hook that has become the internet's most famous bait-and-switch. The bright drums, synth melody and Astley's warm, confident vocal arrive instantly, so listeners recognise the joke within a second. It works because the promise of something else collapses into an unexpectedly upbeat chorus, turning annoyance into laughter. Played at full volume, it feels playful rather than aggressive, a shared joke that most people have fallen for at least once.
