We know Rick Astley as an ’80s Pop Star, thanks to his massive hit, Never Going to Give You Up. However, he likes to change things up and sing songs from artists like Foo Fighters’ Everlong, Post Malone’s Better Now, and Gayle’s ABCDEFU.
However, I never thought I would hear him sing AC/DC’s You Shook Me All Night Long from behind a drum kit. But that is what he did. And it shook me all night long.
The Rick Roll Daddy is so good at covers; I don’t know why he doesn’t just release an album full of them. I would download it.
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.
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.
