"Never Gonna Give You Up" is a dance-pop song originally performed by Rick Astley, released in 1987. It has become the center of an Internet meme called a 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.
