“Never Gonna Give You Up” is known as the world famous Rick Roll song.

The music video, directed by Simon West, finds Astley singing at various west London locales, including an empty club where he gradually inspires a bartender (played by dancer Clive Clarke of the Top of the Pops dance troupe Zoo) to bust a move. Apparently, Clarke had been nursing a serious hangover when his attempt to do a stunt flip went awry, and he landed on his head. Luckily, he wasn’t injured and nailed the stunt on another take.

Rick had not originally wanted to create a music video for this song, but he was eventually forced to by the director.

Once the internet revived the song’s popularity, some realized Robo’s theme from the Super Nintendo game Chrono Trigger bore a striking resemblance to “Never Gonna GIve You Up”. It was a coincidence, as the game’s composer had never heard Rick Astley’s song. Still, mash-ups of both are common. The 1987 video was officially uploaded to YouTube on the 24th of October 2009 and has over one billion views as of 2021. Never Gonna Give You Up sheet music is also available for free.
