このサウンドについて

The Rick Roll meme sound from Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You Up, the 1987 pop hit used to prank friends who clicked a fake link or video.

This clip is the instantly recognisable opening and chorus of Never Gonna Give You Up by Rick Astley, with its bright 1980s pop production, punchy drums and Astley's deep, earnest vocal. Hearing it out of context triggers the rickroll reaction, a mix of surprise, laughter and mock betrayal, because the listener expected something completely different. The earnest romantic lyrics clash with the prank setup, which makes the moment funnier each time it lands. It works without any visual context, as the first bars alone tell the whole joke.

Rickrolling began as a bait-and-switch prank online in 2007, when users on forums like 4chan linked to Rick Astley's 1987 video for Never Gonna Give You Up instead of the promised trailer, leak or download. The song, written and produced by Stock Aitken Waterman, had already been a number one hit, but the meme gave it a second life on YouTube and social media. Astley himself later embraced the joke, and the clip remains the default punchline for any fake link.
