Rick Astley is best known for his song “Never Gonna Give You Up,” which has become a viral sensation in recent years. Teens love to come up with fun ways to prank others and they decided that sending someone a video and instead the recipient receiving Rick’s music video would be named “Rickrolling.”
While Rick was upset at the phenomenon at first, he has definitely embraced it now. Even so, it makes people forget what a great singer he actually is! Rick is still at it and he did an acoustic cover of the Foo Fighters’ song “Everlong.”
