| − | "'''Never Gonna Give You Up'''" is a dance-pop song originally performed by [[wikipedia:Rick_Astley|Rick Astley]], released in 1987. It has become the center of an Internet meme called a [[wikipedia:Rickroll|Rickroll]], originally a prank in which the victim is fooled into following a link to Astley's music video for the song. [[Jonathan Coulton]] has expanded on this joke by occasionally performing portions of the song at unexpected moments.

Thank you SO much! I watch numerous vdeios to learn how to do this and wasn't getting it until I saw yours! This will allow me to show so many things in my classroom that I wouldn't otherwise be able to due to district web filters. I'm so excited!
