Rick Astley talks about his brand new single and the Rickroll Internet phenomenon, amongst other things, on Live From Studio Five, Channel Five. 08/06/10
You know what's probably bugs me most about Rick rolls is the fact that probably half the people who know of it or use it actually think his name is Rick Roll.
Yeah, I have to disagree with you, Happy Kid. My wife is British, and when she used to sing as a kid, her mother told her that she had to try to "sound more American". So yes, it is an active attempt to sound American when a lot of people sing.
It's true, whenever I sing I always sound American. It's not intentional, it just happens. If I want to sing with my normal accent, I have to do it consciously
Rick Astley is one of the best singers from the 80's. His music is great and he was way more hits than Never Going to Give You Up. Songs like Together Forever is awesome and is one of my favorite songs of all time.
Feel bad for him? His song and voice will be stuck with every past generation since 30 years back to now until we're all dead. This guy's become a full on legend.
i immediately fell in love with the song when he says "Lights Out!!" in the song i actually found never gonna give you up before knowing Rick rolls and also downloaded it to😁
You know, I have to say, it's cool to see a guy like him who is so grounded and humble considering everything. I'd be pissed and annoyed if I were in his shoes. He honestly sounds grateful.
I saw this guy live and didn't expect much as I consider him mostly a joke, but his voice was amazing and he's ever so charming, so I'm set straight now.
I'm so happy to see Rick returning to the industry. I wish him the best of luck. The new single is great. I want a whole CD though. Hopefully that will come to be in the next few months. Thanks for your great post.
I've always liked his 'Never gonna Give you up' song and I still play it to this day. I always thought the people who made his song into a joke was the annoying part. But I came into the world before it was ever some "Rick-Roll" punchline and I feel like this song is very positive and fun to dance to. Even the beat is really fun to listen to without lyrics, a bit ahead of its time in terms of sound
i wonder what it's like to have one of the most heard songs of all time, maybe even the most heard song of all time? seriously, between all the different rick roll vids, never gonna give you up probably has more youtube views than gangnam style.
I think he made the right move going away. The song "Never Gonna Give you Up" belong to the writers, Rick only sang it. That means Rick only get a little percentage of the profit. He should have earned millions base on RUclips views alone, but like I said before, he didn't own the music
I started growing to have respect for this man. The whole music thing didn't rise to his head.
if i owned a show like x-factor id say this week we have a special guest eminem and then send out rick astly
hahahaha! That would be amazing xD
jordan oconnor Best idea ever.
jordan oconnor i wanted to like this comment...but i had to leave it at 69
Best Rickroll ever
he should have rick rolled the whole world at the mtv awards... wins award, handed a mic, and just goes
Ricky Astley don't age!!!
*doesn't
Verbindungsfehle That was an order.
Oh well that makes sense too. I take back my correction.
notatall
i was expecting a rickroll video XD
I thought he was a ginger.
He dyed his hair I believe.
Andy Kim He rick rolled you.
+Andy Kim he's a daytime walker
His internet fame made him grow a soul.
what a legend...
He has still got it!
He must be so proud, he never give it up, never let it down :')
He looks really good for his age holy shit,keep rocking Rick :)
I thought he was american. Wow, things just gets wierder and wierder
Rick Astley is an awesome singer
ginger* lmao
This guy is British? Holly fucking shit.
I think he's Australian
What holy fuckin shit about it lol?
Lol
he's very nice to talk to. What a friendly man!
You know what's probably bugs me most about Rick rolls is the fact that probably half the people who know of it or use it actually think his name is Rick Roll.
***** fun fact Roll is his mothers maiden name.
Eh... Most people that know of the meme are familiar with him.
I mean, the title only literally says "Rick Astley" in it, sooo...
This video will be the new rickroll
He is so handsome!!!! and his voice Wow.
4:02
+Adyman thanks
+Adyman thanks lol
+Adyman You da MVP.
you're the man
Aldin thanks
He is still gorgeous. :D
I didn't know he was British lol
Keemstar! AAAAaaayyyyyyy
It's because British people "Americanize" their vocals when they sing. I don't know why they do it. They should stick to their unique accent.
You can definitely hear some people's accents when they sing.

He sounds younger in that new song, while his songs in his young age sounds more mature
And uploaded by Mr.Bean...
Haha lol
Feel bad for him? His song and voice will be stuck with every past generation since 30 years back to now until we're all dead. This guy's become a full on legend.

i immediately fell in love with the song when he says "Lights Out!!" in the song
i actually found never gonna give you up before knowing Rick rolls and also downloaded it to😁

so everywhere he goes to people think "did i get rick roll?"
When they played his new song, I thought they were gonna rick roll us. lool
Man's been with his missus for almost 30 years now. He REALLY never gave her up.
7:51 - my head just asploded. Well played, Rick. Well played.
Damn, i has been rickrolled at start of this video.
And yes, this is gonna be in recommendations
Actually he’s a cool guy!
I'm so happy to see Rick returning to the industry. I wish him the best of luck. The new single is great. I want a whole CD though. Hopefully that will come to be in the next few months. Thanks for your great post.
I thought we would get rickrolled in the end

I'm never going to give you up! Yeah welcome back,& I am & always a a fan of your music.
He's actually a really cool dude.
Rick astley is very smart gent wow blew my mind keep up the good work brother.
I've always liked his 'Never gonna Give you up' song and I still play it to this day. I always thought the people who made his song into a joke was the annoying part. But I came into the world before it was ever some "Rick-Roll" punchline and I feel like this song is very positive and fun to dance to. Even the beat is really fun to listen to without lyrics, a bit ahead of its time in terms of sound
See I'll provably remember it as" thats that song that pops up instead of what I was searching".
I am listening to 'Never gonna give you up' right now :)
Lol Was I the only one expecting to be rickrolled when they were going to show the new single?
Rick's kids won't get up he knows exactly what to do :D
I just realized what he said at 7:50. holy shit.
He needs to play James Bond.
我的天,這時他還好年輕🥰
Did he get rick rolled ? what did he feel ?
That girl on the right looks like a fucking princess
they all got rick roll'd
0:52 ..so cute!!
He reminds me of Seth Mcfarlane ...
YES!!
I was thinking the same thing, I thought it was just me!
On the day that Rick Astley dies it will be impossible to watch any video on the internet!
enjoy the weather
Whatever anyone might think, he still looks great!
Very True
Imagine if Rick Ashley became president
rick rolled on the start, congrats
I like Rickrolling!
Links were altered? No they just put a video with a different title and thumbnail
Awedome
@517 the female host "might be some internet trickery" lol sounded like Russel Brand.`
seems like a cool guy
i feel bad for him, he didn't deserve to be treated like a joke. But I like how h'es making a comeback with a new song
I can imagine getting married to that song.
Kul
I agree, however the ironic thing is that he wouldn't have any "comeback" without 4chan's "Rickrolling" meme.
Until 2010. From then on, it's unknown how much he makes off of it.
Never gonna give a fuck
never gonna let you down
+Joshtheking7 never gonna suck again
took half a year for isabella to get a reply and i got one in less than 30 minnutes. ok den
+Joshtheking7 and another response from me 1 month later
+General Floofy happy birthday!
900 million lmaoooo the population of the entire continent of Europe is 700 million
i wonder what it's like to have one of the most heard songs of all time, maybe even the most heard song of all time? seriously, between all the different rick roll vids, never gonna give you up probably has more youtube views than gangnam style.
Nope Gangnam style has the most views on youtube with over 2 billion... sadly
Levi Rychener He is talking about every RUclips video that Rick Roll's people combined, this would be more than Gangnam Style
one word: JEREMY CLARKSON
bonos shit he should have taken the award
god damnit i love rick astley (24, male)
❤❤❤❤❤❤💋💋💋💋💋💋💞💞💕💕❣️❣️❣️❣️ GRANDE AMORE
Darude-Sandstorm is the new Rick roll
+Megan L Darick Astley - Sandroll
go search that its a remix lole
Not really it doesnt have that effect that rick rolling had
+Deadeyes X true rick song was actually good even as a troll
'Darude Gaystorm' should go into stand up with that pure comedy genius.. how long did that take you too think of?
True story...His mum gave me his gold disc for his 2nd album "free"...I'm his mum's window cleaner..
You would know better "trollface" xD
can't really here his accent in his music.
*hear
Correct me if im wrong but many british singers sing without their accent or use a different accent basically
James May
I think he made the right move going away. The song "Never Gonna Give you Up" belong to the writers, Rick only sang it. That means Rick only get a little percentage of the profit. He should have earned millions base on RUclips views alone, but like I said before, he didn't own the music
*now
he is so honest & down to earth
it was not ironic and funny, it was 4chan
no they don't just look at damon albarn
He's British?!?!?!?!
He can just fantasize about the other dude to get through it
fact rick astley only earned 12$ from the rick rolling phonomenon
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna turn around

Алексей Свиридов darude - sandstorm
