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 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?
Rick Astley recently released a remastered version of his debut album, Whenever You Need Somebody, which includes his notorious hit Never Gonne Give You Up.
About a year ago, he decided that he wanted to remake the music video of the song frame by frame via animation. And today, we got to see that dream come true.
He says he loves it. Do you love it too? I do.

We know what being RickRolled is about, but do you know how it all started?
In honor of the 15th anniversary of the global phenomenon, the Guinness Book of World Records shared how it all began, “On March 29, 2007, Rockstar released their latest GTA IV trailer, which caused their website to crash.
“4chan.org then used the defunct link to redirect people to Rick Astley’s 1987 hit ‘Never Gonna Give You Up’.”
That is kind of a letdown. But, I am never gonna give up RickRolling people. Will you give it up?
Oh, there is one more interesting fact about RickRolling that they shared. To find out what it is, then you must click here.
Rick Astley likes to go on YouTube and record covers from musicians you would not expect him to sing like Foo Fighters’ Everclear.
Today, he sang Gayle’s ABCDEFU, and I cannot stop listening to it. I am not sure if it is because I like it more than the original (sorry, Gayle. I do love your f*cking single.). Or it could be because I got turned on every time he sang f*ck. And that word is mentioned a lot in this tune.
I feel like I have been Rick Rolled and not in the way it is intended to be. And that is a very good thing.
