Now you can get Rickrolled by Rick himself. After the phenomenal six-million-view success of YouTube’s April Fools prank featuring his 1987 hit Never Gonna Give You Up, Rick Astley’s old music videos now appear on his official YouTube channel.
It’s a revenue-sharing partner account, so if you’re going to Rickroll someone, you can thank Astley by linking to his upload of Never Gonna Give You Up. Even popstars from twenty years ago can understand the power of online video.
