80s
version of Howdy Doody pop star
Rick Astley had a string of hits back-in-the-day (I know, we all hate that reference). His smooth, blue-eyed soul voice combined with his harmless, non-threatening looks garnered him mass appeal on both sides of the Atlantic and beyond. He disappeared for a while during the late-90s/early 2000's, but thanks to the power of the Internet, he finally found his place as a viral video legend on YouTube. Being "Rick-Rolled" would become one of the Internet's first memes, and he is still rolling with it these days. To wit, the
official "Things
Rick Astley Will Never Do" checklist has resurfaced over at
The FW, including "giving you up" or "ask you how you're feeling". Awww... fun times.
