Play it at a rooftop party this summer and watch your life become a Budweiser commercial. Titled “ Give U Up,” the song features predictable lyrics like “You’re so dangerous to me / Russian roulette to me” and “I get up, I get up, I get up alone / And go back to bed without you in my arms.” But it’s when the chorus comes in that the song truly shines, because it’s the same chorus from “Never Gonna Give You Up.” But Calvin is a genius-if any song deserves to be reinterpreted as an EDM banger, it’s “Never Gonna Give You Up.” And, for what it’s worth, it’s an OK song.
Last year, EDM producer Calvin (not to be confused with Calvin Harris) created an EDM song that interpolates the Rick Astley classic. 2) There’s a tropical pop version of “Never Gonna Give You Up” Until then, at least we have the trailer for The Chronicles Of Rick Roll.
Hopefully meme movie#
Maybe Fischer is saving that for the full-length movie he intends to release that’s based on this video, which, according to commenters, has been in the works for years (the video originally dropped in 2011). A lot is happening in the video but strangely even though its title includes the words “Rick Roll,” there’s no reference to the internet meme at all. The almost four-minute video features everyone from Antoine Dodson (of “ Hide yo’ kids, hide yo’ wife” fame) to Gary Brolsma (“ Numa Numa”) as they attempt to help two people that met through the internet, only to be somehow transported into an IRL World Wide Web. PopMalt Editor-in-Chief and NURV Creative Director Andrew Fischer created a video inspired by a question we’ve surely asked ourselves and others at least once: What if the internet was a real place? Well, that’s where The Chronicles Of Rick Roll comes in. 14 facts about the Rickroll 1) The Chronicles Of Rick Roll is an actual video that exists So, in honor of that (and the fact that the song was released this year back in 1987-30 years ago), here are some things you might not have been aware of about “Never Gonna Give You Up” and some of the best examples of Rickrolling we’ve seen. The first Rickrolling video came about 10 years ago today, on May 15, 2007, as a prank tied to a Grand Theft Auto IV trailer, only to catapult from its 4chan origins and become a mainstream internet sensation still popular to this day. (Click that link to Rickroll yourself right now.) If you’ve been fortunate to have never been Rickrolled, this is how it works: Someone sends you a link-say to a new Beyonce video that just dropped-but then you are heartlessly greeted by the music video to Rick Astley’s classic pop hit “ Never Gonna Give You Up.” because someone disgused the URL.
It’s the meme we will never be able to escape because it’s so bad that it’s good.
