The sound parodies Never Gonna Give You Up, the 1987 hit by Rick Astley that became the centre of rickrolling, the bait-and-switch prank that spread across forums and YouTube in the late 2000s. Replacing the vocal with meows puts it in the same family as other cat vocal memes like the sad meow song, where a feline performance carries a familiar tune. Meow covers keep resurfacing on TikTok and in chats because they soften the classic prank, turning a trick link into a cute, shareable payoff.
About this sound
A cat meowing version of Never Gonna Give You Up, with the Rick Astley chorus sung entirely in meows for rickroll pranks and pet meme edits.
This is a full cat-voiced cover of the famous Rick Astley chorus, with every lyric replaced by pitched meows that follow the original melody note for note. The meowing rises and falls in time with the synth pop backing, sounding both earnest and completely ridiculous, which is exactly why it lands. At just over a minute it plays less like a quick sting and more like a committed musical gag, letting the joke build as listeners realise the cat is not going to stop and is faithfully performing the whole rickroll.
