Facts about Never Gonna give You Up

"Never Gonna Give You Up" by Rick Astley is a popular song that has gained worldwide recognition as the "Rick Roll" song, thanks to its use in internet memes. The music video for the song was directed by Simon West and features Astley singing at different locations in west London, including an empty club where he inspires a bartender to dance.

During the filming of the video, the bartender, played by Clive Clarke of the Top of the Pops dance troupe Zoo, had a mishap while attempting a stunt flip due to a hangover. Fortunately, he wasn't injured and was able to nail the stunt on a subsequent take.

Interestingly, Rick initially didn't want to create a music video for this song, but he was eventually persuaded by the director. After the song's popularity was revived by the internet, some noticed that the theme for Robo, a character from the Super Nintendo game Chrono Trigger, bore a striking resemblance to "Never Gonna Give You Up." However, it was just a coincidence, as the game's composer had never heard Astley's song.

As of 2021, the 1987 video has been officially uploaded to YouTube and has received over one billion views. Additionally, sheet music for "Never Gonna Give You Up" is available for free.

Lyrics

We're no strangers to love

You know the rules and so do I (do I)

A full commitment's what I'm thinking of

You wouldn't get this from any other guy

I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling

Gotta make you understand

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

We've known each other for so long

Your heart's been aching, but you're too shy to say it (say it)

Inside, we both know what's been going on (going on)

We know the game and we're gonna play it

And if you ask me how I'm feeling

Don't tell me you're too blind to see

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

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

We've known each other for so long

Your heart's been aching, but you're too shy to say it (to say it)

Inside, we both know what's been going on (going on)

We know the game and we're gonna play it

I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling

Gotta make you understand

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

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

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
