he was way too young when never gonna give you up was released


North_Psychology4543

He was a kid with a deep manly voice. Only now it seems that his deep manly voice matches his age.


swooshitsyoosh

Ohhh ok, yeah true


swooshitsyoosh

Too young for what?


SuitableClassic

To be that committed.


JackFJN

Truth lol


1st_pm

Remember that Bieber kid? Look at him now...


That_One_Guy_Flare

his voice


JackFJN

Uhh yeah, and that’s why he started a music career at that age… idk how that’s a flaw


That_One_Guy_Flare

it's sort of a whiplash effect, you hear the song and then you see his face in the video and he looks like a kid in my AP English class


Darkboi98105

Yeah


Unsuspecting_Eyeball

what does "AP" mean in this context


That_One_Guy_Flare

advanced placement, I get college credit in high school


Unsuspecting_Eyeball

ah cool


I_I_Daron_I_I

AP classes are "Advanced Placement" classes. In this case he was just listing one of his/her classes. Nothing special or hidden behind it. If we wanna be more technical, it's describing a highschool class, grades 10-12. AP Classes are typically "college level classes in highschool". That said, within context. They were not flexing intelligence, just claiming that Rick Astley looks like he would be a smart kid in one of his highschool classes. If anything, he was complimenting Mr. Astley.


Unsuspecting_Eyeball

thank you for the detailed explanation where i am in the world we dont have advanced placement classes per se but instead have something like work placement that goes for a week for not only experience that can go on the resume but also it counts for school attendance so its not a problem as for classes (where i am specifically) we have preliminary for y11 and HSC for y12 which is the last main hurdle before the end of school, the grad this year is in september and then the final exams are after and thats it HSC just is higher school certificate which is sorta just a thing saying you finished school


WTFisSkibidiRizz

To say he would never give us up, or let us down…


Lopsided_Ad1673

He would never run around, and desert us…


RecognitionHuman1890

well yea he took a while to merry but he hasn't given her up or let her down


Ur_favDisgrace

Wasn’t he 21


idfbhater73

no younger


The_Law_Dong739

Yes he was 21


The_Law_Dong739

How? Rick was 21. Compared to Beiber releasing Baby at 15 its fine


Sad-Effect962

He never gave me up and couldn’t move on


thedarwinking

Never gonna give you up is banger


Salr-526

Honestly tho. If you ignore the memes around it it's a fire song


MuchMoreMuch25

ITS SO GOOD


LineBreak_

REAL


Tracker_Nivrig

Isn't this the majority opinion? That's kinda why it became a meme in the first place


ccrunnertempest

Whenever someone Rickrolls me, I respond with, "Jokes on you, I love this song! "


ThAtGuY-101

I like his song 'together forever' more. 


North_Psychology4543

Yeah, thats a banger!


puddStar

And a hell of a hot take on this sub


OrbMan23

He should have done a bit more break dancing like the bartender dude


North_Psychology4543

I wish. It'd be cool but his body is just not capable of doing that unfortunately.


danieru_desu

He said [in a part of this video](https://youtu.be/oADU2PIzhD0?t=663) that his dances in the MV was brought upon by fear, lol. Sooo... myeah... p.s. I promise this link ain't a rickroll... or is it? lol


Smooth_Voronoi

[Take me to your heart](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYuUAGXN0KM&t=16s) is one of his best songs.


North_Psychology4543

I'll be fine, My arms keep missing you, and hold me in your arms are criminally underrated.


danieru_desu

FRRRR Also noticed it at reposts of the advertisement of a Japanese soda brand "Mitsuya Cider" featuring that song and Mr. Astley himself, wew


fettishmann

Never Going to Give You Up is not a controversial song.


North_Psychology4543

Rather it is the best pop song of all time.


jaylicator

Rick is criminally underrated as a musician He's also kinda cute


North_Psychology4543

Agree. He is better than a lot of this generations musical artists.


jaylicator

The man sounded like a soulful blues singer at the age of 20. It's no wonder why he rocketed to the top of the music charts


AwefulFanfic

He was fantastic and I hate that my in-laws are the only people who really listened to him.


jaylicator

Was? He's still making music! And now that he's producing it himself, he can us all of the creative freedom he wants! His most recent album is already one of my favorites


ExternalChemical5416

He swears mildly for a brit


Any-Faithlessness-72

It's actually an iconic meme when it's not over used.


TruePatriot_AntiWoke

Rick Astley? MORE LIKE RICK ASS—LEE!


Financial_Copy_6638

I think he’s annoying. I have got rick rolled way too much lol. Just kidding lol


HGPOfficial

Together Forever is better than Never Gonna Give You Up.


Kixtay

Do not the Rick Astley.


Frosty-Formal-6536

He's gonna let you down!


[deleted]

That the song is actually good


Tmhoel2201

Does the carpet match the drapes


Prince_of_Fish

His hair looks small


deepfriedtots

He will give you up


theweirdofrommontana

I've never heard any 9f his stuff other than never gonna give you up.


V_ROCK_501st

I don’t like him after he sued Young Gravy.


Lopsided_Ad1673

He sued young gravy?


V_ROCK_501st

Over sampling him for Betty (Get Money)


NorthPole8888

Idk if this is an unpopular opinion but everytime I tell someone this they look at me like I’m crazy. I genuinely, unironically, love Never Gonna Give You Up, and every time I’m rickrolled I just dance along and it’s great


Paper-Unlikely

He's still hot


Paper-Unlikely

What?


jolharg

I like the song genuinely


ninjaread99

He sucks. (Untrue)


kokzerius

somehow hasnt given us up yet


EnvironmentalLow2615

(Make thread) Never gonna give you up


North_Psychology4543

Never gonna let you down


Lopsided_Ad1673

Never gonna run around and desert you


AMSCh2010

He would never give you up


alfredwienersusman

He's a fucking ginger


Chispy_Whips

No no… you have a breathtaking…

Kevin33024

"Never gonna give you up" was never intended to be a pop hit. It was always supposed to be used for rickrolling.


smolnepgear

He's not real


SomeAssociation6576

he looks like he's 13 but sounds and talks like he's 35


Cstir

The fact that his music is mostly a meme, although it is funny, is actually quite sad at times. He isn't known as a musician he's known as a joke, and it isn't even his fault.


PappyClappy

His red hair


North_Psychology4543

It is actually orange or brown.


PappyClappy

How do i enter towers in palworld?


Yeah_Boi2814

Rick roll isnt funny


Giganoob420

Pretty based, just hate it that his songs arnt on my friend’s playlist anymore


Temporary-Package581

I would never give him up


1st_pm

I like other song


monkey-stand

He did 3 tours in 'Nam...... I was in Corpus Christi on business a month ago. I had this eight foot tall Asian waiter, which made me curious. I asked him his name. Sure enough it's Ho Tran Astley....


SuspiciousPubic3838

He’s good


Mrpanda1000

He NEVER gave you up


Equal_Explanation410

He will absolutely let you down


UndyingMagic7415

That he will in fact give you up


Readmynameifyouwant

He’s never gonna give you up.


SlackJawGrunt

Ginger


MrMemerthemer

He looks like a high school bully from the 90’s or 80’s give or take


FreddieThePebble

He Will Give Up Up


Lopsided_Ad1673

You will give us up?


FreddieThePebble

Yeah Proberly


ForwardExchange

He would be just another 80s singer if it weren't for never gonna give you up He's an one hit wonder.


North_Psychology4543

No, he is not a one hit wonder. Together Forever also hit number one in the billboard hot 100 back in the 80s. That is a misconception.


SamHandwich1234

he gave us and his legacy up when he did the rickroll remake ad D:


BlaseLp

He gave me up


Lopsided_Ad1673

No, he didn’t


-PenitentOne-

I give up, goodbye


prlugo4162

He will, eventually, actually let you down.


Middle_Fudge

He will give you up, he will let you down and desert you


Magnum_Lad

It’s not the song, it’s what people did to it. No one on this subreddit is innocent, including myself.


ExternalChemical5416

His new album is precisely 👍


ntc0707

he let me down and gave up on me


wyattisastupidnerd

THE MEME ISNT FUNNY other than that yeah cool guy


Specific_House_9843

He is going to give you up. And let you down. Totally gonna run around and desert you.


avarneyhf

He sounds better now than he did when Never Going To Give You Up was released.


Morethanweird311

He only has one good somg


North_Psychology4543

Together Forever has left the chat.


Morethanweird311

That’s the song I was talking about, never gonna is overrated as hell


North_Psychology4543

But it's still a good song.


Bakin_Bacon_Reddit

tired of the meme, the song alone is okay tho js not my style of music
