He can't die, he told us he was never gonna give us up!
And letting us down - not an option!
Not going to make us cry either!
But will he run around and desert us?
He said he wouldn't!
Outcome unclear, try again later
If he dies, his song will be proven to be lies as he gives us up, let's us down and leaves us. He has to live forever or become a liar.
jokes on all of you. i unironically like that song
It's good, however Together Forever is by far the superior Rick Astley jam and I will die on this hill.
I unironically like Rick Astley period. I will not link to them because people will think I'm rickrolling, but check out his covers of Uptown Funk, Everlong and Ain't No Sunshine on YouTube because holy fuck. Especially the first one because singing a song with that few spaces to breathe live floors me.
At this point we all do
I'm never gonna give him up
Never gonna let it down
Listening to whoever reads his eulogy will probably also keep people on edge.
Unfortunately, nobody thinks its true because they are too scared to click on the link
You made me sad. That was not the music I was hoping for.
Remember kids: ...XcQ, link stays blue!
They killed it by monetizing it. Unless you're a chump who pays or only use newpipe or something it's just ads first. Fuck the Internet.
Fuck GAFAM.
(And Bytedance, fuck them in particular.)
It's too late - somebody tried that scam years ago:
glad I checked the hyperlink. XcQ link stays blue
That, or dQ...cQ
But XcQ being pronounce as “execute” is a good one, too!
If you open YouTube links in a new tab Firefox, they don't autoplay. It's very easy to avoid getting tricked in all sorts of ways if you do that and apparently the algorithm doesn't care unless you actually start the video.
This is actually pretty scary, viewer discretion is advised.
Wow, I can't believe he had that many people fooled!
I will be severely disappointed if no one tries to Rick-roll people on the day of his death. I hope it's far enough on the future that people forget what Rick-rolling even is. It'll make it all the more sweet.

That's some quality shower thought!
Who passes around links to an obituary??
This is a Fortune 500 Company that specializes in it:
Wow some of those distribution methods are insane, but the prices are crazy.
