Rickrolled…

Many of you are no doubt familair with the phenomenon of rickrolling. This is the act of tricking someone into listening to that classic Stock Aitkin & Waterman act of the late 80’s and in particular his seminal hit, “Never gonna give you up”. This phenomenon has become so big that entire sports arenas have been rickrolled and now whenever I receive a link in an email or by instant messenger, I actually take a moment to consider whether or not I am about to be on the busines end of a rickrolling.

Earlier today, I recieved a voicemail on my phone from my friend Gregg. What the message did was take the act of rickrolling to a whole new level, both technologically and artistically. 

Never before has someone gone to the trouble of performing the hit themselves to achieve these results. Bravo Sir, bravo!

  1. While we have to really appreciate the effort, would it be a bad idea to suggest some singing lessons? This song is now painful enough when sung properly so out of tune is close to torture!! 🙂
    But KUDOS to the man! You’ve been owned (once again!)
