Rick Astley’s ‘Never Gonna Give You Up’ Turns 30

Rick Astley‘s “Never Gonna Give You Up,” has turned 30 today (July 28th).  The song debuted on his 1987 album, “Whenever You Need Somebody.

The hit single found a second life in the form of a, “meme,” on the internet.  “Rick-Rolled,” is a term that was created to define any event when one thing is promised and Astley’s song would play instead.

About this anniversary, Rick Astley took to Twitter to say, ’30 years ago today I said I was Never Gonna Give You Up. I am a man of my word – Rick x.’
