Never Gonna Give You Up was released by Rick Astley in 1987 and became the centre of rickrolling, the internet prank where a misleading link leads viewers to the song's video instead of the promised content. The joke spread through forums and video sites in the late 2000s and never fully faded, because the chorus is instantly recognisable even to people who never followed the original chart hit. Bass-boosted edits later gave the prank a louder, more exaggerated second life on meme pages and soundboards, where the distorted low end signals that the surprise is intentional rather than accidental.

A bass-boosted version of Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You Up, distorted for extra impact. Creators use it for rickroll pranks, memes and reaction edits.
This is the familiar opening of Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You Up pushed through heavy bass boosting until the drums thump, the vocals distort and the whole track feels like it is shaking the speakers. The melody and lyrics stay instantly recognisable, but every beat lands harder and louder, turning a gentle eighties pop song into something deliberately overblown and comic. That contrast is the joke: listeners expect a sweet chorus and instead get a wall of low-end noise, which makes the surprise hit harder and the familiar rickroll feel fresh again for viewers who have heard the original countless times.
