DEF: Rick Astley “Never Gonna Give You Up”

Over the past decade, British singer Rick Astley‘s song “Never Gonna Give You Up” has experienced renewed popularity as the basis for the practice of rickrolling. Long before that began, though, the song was Astley’s first and biggest hit. Exactly 30 years ago, “Never Gonna Give You Up” climbed to the top of Billboard‘s Hot 100 chart for a two-week reign. To commemorate that anniversary, “Never Gonna Give You Up” by Rick Astley is today’s Daily Eighties Flashback.
