To all Rick Astley fans, this is now your chance to finally Roll With Rick Live.

SocialSpark Is Rolling With Rick

SocialSpark is a new service from IZEA where bloggers are paid to blog about the things they love or don't love but what caught my attention about it is the Rick Astley Never Gonna Give You Up video that pops up when you accidentally visit a SocialSpark member blog. Now that's my kind of service.

What!?! You haven't seen it? Don't worry, if you love visiting blogs then you'll eventually find one sooner or later but I hope sooner. I would love to put that pop-up here but this blog is too young to qualify for SocialSpark. Maybe after a few months then I'll try to apply for the service but in the meantime, enjoy Rolling With Rick Astley and SocialSpark.

"Never gonna give you up, Never gonna let you down, Never gonnar turn around and desert you!"

New York Mets May Never Give You Up

This is one hilarious news. It seems that the New York Mets might get Rick Roll'D all season long if Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You Up is selected as the new 8 inning song. LOL!

Due to an onslaught of votes for write-in candidate: Never Gonna Give You Up is among the top six songs to be the new eighth inning song for the New York Mets. It actually "won" the vote, but the vote was never going to decide the song, just weed out the bad ones, says the Mets. - Mets are this much closer to getting RickRoll'd all season long

If this happens then it will be one of the funniest things ever to happen in baseball. Ha ha ha!

International Rick Roll Your Friends Day

Hey there Rick Rollers! Did you know that Facebook will have a special day just for all of you Rick Rollers out there. Yes that's true, the event will be on April 17, 2008.

Richard Paul Astley (born 6 February 1966) is an English singer, songwriter and musician.

His hit single, the song "Never Gonna Give You Up" 's campy music video became the basis for an Internet phenomenon known as "rickrolling". It originated on the internet and took its name from an earlier phenomenon known as "duckrolling", in which someone would post a blind link to a page allegedly relevant to a discussion that upon viewing would prove to be a non sequitur - specifically, an image of a duck on wheels. This phenomenon spread from the internet to other sites, eventually becoming widespread enough to attract some coverage in the mainstream media. As a result of the phenomenon, the four most-viewed copies of the music video on YouTube have received over 12 million hits as of February 16, 2008.

So on April 17, 2008, to commemorate the passing of tax season and to immortalize the great Rick Astley, rickroll your friends and innocent bystanders.

So, Never Give Up and Don't Less Us Down. Join the International Rick Roll Your Friends Day on April 17, 2008.

Rick Roll'D - The Muppets

Even the muppets caught the Rick Rolling virus. LOL!

Rick Astley - Here And Now Tour

I found this little information at www.RickAstley.co.uk!

The Here And Now Tour is the genius idea of a guy called Tony Denton in which he brings together pop acts that were big in the 1980's to perform Here and Now. It is arguably the most successful and high profile of all 80's tours. The first show was back in 2001 and featured featured Paul Young, Kim Wilde, Curiosity Killed The Cat, Nick Heyward, Heaven 17, Go West & T’Pau.

Since then there has been 5 further UK tours as well as tours of Australia, Japan & Europe and the Summer 2007 saw the staging of 17 huge outdoor shows that sold out country wide. Many of the acts reformed or took to the stage for the first time in years to perform on these tours. The next UK arena tour will take place in May 2008 with yet another line-up that will have fans singing and dancing in the aisles.

Here And Now is a non stop show of hits, with one artiste performing immediately after the other, so far over 30 artistes have been involved in this 80s pop extravaganza.

Headlining the UK Tour commencing May 2008 is none other than Rick Astley, with the other acts including Banarama, Midge Ure, Nick Heyward, Heaven 17, T'Pau, Toyah, Paul Young, ABC, Curiousity Killed The Cat, Johnny Hates Jazz and Cutting Crew depending on what show you attend.

I didn't find this one funny but it's interesting.

This is funny, not because it's a Rick Roll but because no one got it. Get it? Only those people who did the Rick Rolling got it. The others just sat there! Now that's funny! LOL!

Rick Roll'D - College Basketball Game

This is somewhat funny. A guy wearing a coat which was just like the one worn by Rick Astley came out dancing and lip-syncing "Never Gonna Give You Up" to the entertainment of everyone watching the game and don't forget the cheerleaders. :D

And you thought you are safe in a college basketball game! Nope, you are never safe because Rick Roll can happen to anyone, anytime, anywhere!

Rick Astley

Richard Paul Astley, (born 6 February 1966) is an English singer, songwriter, and musician. He was born in Newton-le-Willows, Lancashire, England. Astley has also lived in Richmond, Surrey with his Danish girlfriend, Lene Bausager, and their daughter, Emilie.

In 2007 Rick Astley became the subject of a viral Internet meme in which 13 million Internet users were tricked into watching the video for Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up" by posting it under the name of other popular video titles. The practice was known as Rickrolling.

When asked by the Los Angeles Times for his opinion on Rickrolling, Astley said "I think it's just one of those odd things where something gets picked up and people run with it, that's what's brilliant about the internet.

Never Gonna Give You Up

We're no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I
A full commitment's what's 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 know each other for so long
Your heart's been aching
But you're too shy to say it
Inside we both know what's been 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

Repeat Chorus

Give you up, give you up
Give you up, give you up
Never gonna give,
Never gonna give, give you up
Never gonna give,
Never gonna give, give you up

Last four lines repeated

I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand

Chorus times three

What is a Rick Roll?

An internet prank or joke. Rick Roll, Rick Roll'd or Rick Rolling is an internet spam trick in which people post a link to a Rick Astley video on Youtube, but say the viewers of the video are being led to another video, usually proof of unconfirmed gaming news or trailers.
