Thanks for watching this video, "The Story of the Best Meme EVER: Never Gonna Give You Up & Rickrolling". Rick Astley's 1987 song, "Never Gonna Give You Up" is an absolute classic in the 80's canon. It's catchy, dance-able, and I love every second of it. But what's even more interesting than the song itself, is what happened yeaaaaaaaars down the road. From around 2005-2008, an unforgettable meme/prank was created: Rickrolling. It's a classic, bait-and-switch gag that sends an unsuspecting user to the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
