Did you see that ??

I NEVER watch the Parade....the one time I turn it on.... :shock:

The "Foster Puppets" float was singing the "Best Friends" themesong from "Courtship of Eddie's Father" - then, it stopped...

...and "Never Gonna Give You Up" started - and RICK FREAKIN' ASTLEY walked out!!
It was lipped, of course.....he couldn't keep a straight face.

Soon to be on the 'Tube....

Sounds hilarious, can't wait to see it. I'm surprised that he's not trying to capitalize on his fame a bit more. He could probably do pretty well touring in the US.

Oh yeah - Forgot:

The Announcer @ NBC said something like:

"....and that was Rick Astley, singing his "Rick-Rolling" hit, "Never Gonna Give You Up..."

:lol:

I saw that!! Too funny!!

Rick Astley has a always been a dork. I have no idea how he got a hit song. I think it sucks. Maybe his daddy was a record company executive?

:roll:

How cute!

Omg, that's awesome. :lol:

Rick Astley himself is Rick Rolling...

...and he got millions of people at once... that has to be the ultimate Rick Roll!!

I don't see why you guys make fun of that song. It's not that bad.

Posted: **Fri Nov 28, 2008 5:15 am**

WTF is rick rolling? Sounds extremely dorky.

So am I the only one who thinks he could be Clay Aiken's daddy?

(True: In 1988 I had a Rick Astley poster up in my room. I loved him. :oops:

He does look like Clay Aiken now! :lol:

I liked the song in the 80's. I just think it is showing what a good sport he is to play along with the Rick Roll craze.

Happy Turkey Day Rhi! And to all on MR.............

You guys have all got to be kidding, right? Is this the song you are talking about:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOU8GIRUd_g

That is the fucking gayest song I have ever heard, and the video is even gayer. Not that I hate gays or anything... I just don't like gay music.

When I was younger I hated 80's retro music. I have warmed-up to some of it like Duran, Duran, INXS, and a few others - but I fail to see any musical or artistic value in this song.

Oh well... nothing personal... I just don't get it.

The same to you and your family as well Miss Ginger.

Rick has two more number one hits than Journey does, and I'm not talking just the A/C charts either. “Cry for help” is a very good ballad. 40 million albums sold, 13 top 30 hits and his wife has Acadamy Award nominations to boot.
Rick's not just another pretty face, you know.

Really? I had no idea. Today is like only the second time I have ever heard his name. I pretty much stuck to rock music and never paid much attention to whatever style it is that he sings. The first person that came to mind when I saw the video was Carrot Top.

Does this guy look like a rock star?

If so, then this guy is a metal god:

Just caught it on YouTube, and that was indeed awesome! America as a whole just got RickRolled by the man himself! :lol:

While it pales in comparison, here is one of my favorite RickRolls - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65I0HNvTDH4 - The Barack Roll.

America loves white recording artists that sound black. Case in point:
Rick Astley
Billy Ocean
Taylor Dayne
Michael Jackson

Ocean's Parent's were Granadians, and probably of African slave origin as is much of Granada's population with a minority of mixed race and Indian thrown in. I don't think he can be considered white.
