Multiple Enthusiasms

Infinite jest. Excellent fancy. Flashes of merriment.

Was Rick Astley ever on the Muppets?

He should have been:

A brilliant mash-up of the RickRolling Internet thing. I’d try to explain it for those unfamiliar, but I’m not all together certain myself. Something about disguising a link to his “Never Gonna Give You Up” YouTube video in a comment to make people click on it, and I guess annoy them.

But my question is, whoever disliked seeing a Rick Astley video?

I remember I was in Miami, visiting my uncle, the first time I saw this video/heard this song, which I’ve always completely loved:

I mean, come on, how cool was the Rick? Conan O’Brian has Rick hair. Long before Parker Lewis, Rick Astley couldn’t lose.

Here’s “Never Gonna Give You Up” Popped Up:

Which shows Rick Astley wore raincoats better than Columbo.

I wish I could dance like Rick Astley.

That’d be so awesome.

  1. I keep hearing about rickroll…and I’ve been like, “wha?” Aw well…I’m just not in the know with that new lingo.

    I love Rick Astley!! He’s right there with George Michael and Jovi.

    😀

  2. Well apparently, Rick Astley isn’t the only former singer celeb being rolled. MC Hammer has now fallen victim to the craze, as people are now getting “HammerRolled”.

    A website located at http://HammerRolled.com explains this version of the gold ‘ole Rick Roll.
