The classic Rick Roll clip from Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You Up, used in prank reveals, bait-and-switch edits and meme videos.

This sound is the instantly recognizable opening from Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You Up, the audio most people mean when they say Rick Roll. It has a bright 80s pop feel, with Rick's smooth vocal delivery and a clean, upbeat intro that gives away the joke almost immediately. In edits, the clip works as a playful gotcha moment: the second it starts, viewers recognize the prank, which creates a mix of nostalgia, embarrassment and comedy depending on how long you let it play.

Rickrolling is an internet bait-and-switch prank built around Rick Astley's 1987 song Never Gonna Give You Up. The meme became widely known in the late 2000s when disguised links led people to the music video instead of the expected content. It stayed popular because the song is instantly recognizable, harmless, and funny the moment the first seconds play. The clip still shows up in prank edits, livestream jokes, and nostalgia posts, much like other viral music memes such as Gangnam Style.

使用のためのプロのヒント

Use this right after a fake setup, such as a “secret reveal” card or suspicious link click. The joke lands best when the music starts abruptly, so avoid heavy fade-ins or layering too many other meme sounds over it.
