Do you want to get to know the man behind Never Going to Give You Up? Well, now is your chance. That is because Rick Astley is releasing his autobiography, Never, on October 10th.

Balancing nostalgia, fresh perspectives and introspection, Never begins with family and unconventional upbringings; journeys through the tumultuous and glamorous world of pop; and takes pause for self-reflection. Never goes beyond the blinding lights of the stage – giving an intimate look at the man behind the hits – and is a portrait of truth, artistic evolution and the astounding power of contentment.

Astley has such a lovable personality that I am sure he wrote the book in that style. Because of that, I cannot wait to read his memoir.

Rick Astley changes up the lyrics to Never Gonna Give You Up
October 23rd, 2023 under Rick Astley. [ Comments: none ]

We know the chorus of 1987’s Never Gonna Give You Up as Never gonna give you up. Never gonna let you down. Never gonna run around and desert you. Never gonna make you cry. Never gonna say goodbye. Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you.

However, some think Rick Astley is singing something else. So he sang the song with the misheard lyrics as Then I’m gonna give you up. Then I’m gonna let you down. Then I’m gonna run around with dessert spoons. Then I’m gonna make you cry. Then I’m gonna say goodbye. Then I’m gonna tell a lie and hurt you.

It totally changes the whole meaning of the tune. If those were the lyrics, then Rickroll wouldn’t be a thing. Although, if those were with those lyrics, then we would be really fucked up if we made Rickrolling a thing with them,

If you thought that Rickrolling was the craziest thing that Rick Astley ever did, he and his band found a way to top that.

How? They warmed up before a show by singing his newest hit, Dippin’ My Feet. That is not weird, so what makes it so crazy? They did it in cat, as in they meowed all the lyrics.

And they call me a crazy cat lady. I think he is crazier than I am, and I don’t see any cats around.

Seriously, though. Astley is one of the funnest and funniest Rockers out there with a great sense of humor! Which is why he has been letting the Rickrolling joke go on and on. You can say he is never gonna give it up.

Rick Astley RickRolls AAA Insurance by recreating the music video

AAA Insurance thought that they would come up with a fun commercial to get the word out about their service. Therefore, they reached out to Rick Astley and asked him if he would recreate the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up for them. And he said, yes!

So, the advertising company found some clothes that matched the ones he wore in 1987 and let him recreate the most viral music video!

The singer did such a perfect job with the recreation; it is like only 35 days passed and not 35 years. Just like the song, he never ages!

Now, back to AAA, I love that they used the chorus as bullet points for why you should use them. They convinced me to switch!

Big Time Rush Rick Rolled their audience with Rick Astley

Big Time Rush was performing in Philly yesterday, and they had a little surprise for their audience. As in, they were about to get Rick Rolled by Rick Astley.

How did the packed house feel about that? They loved it because no matter how old the crowd is, they are never going to give up on Astley and his song Never Going to Give You Up.

When it comes to Astley, that is not the first time he rolled out on the stage at Mann Center. His Facebook revealed, “Incidentally, the last time Rick was on that stage was on his first US tour in 1989.”

And he still looks the same a third of a century later. Who else feels old now?
