    A good dozen or more years after we went through our 'Rickrolling' phase here at TNCR, it's still alive and well among middle schoolers in Westchester.

    Only non-witches get due process.

      I can emphatically confirm the same in Montgomery County, Maryland middle schoolers.

        1. Thanks to the new NodeBB platform adopted by TNCR, Rick-Rolling is no longer technically possible technically much harder to pull off — the software automatically converts any YouTube link into an embedded video with a preview screen.

          Link to video

        2. Thanks to YouTube’s updated algorithm, the song’s “official video” often comes up first in search results. So even when Rick-Rolling, it is more like done with the “official video.”

          That's not true. There's a tutorial on how to not get the preview screen.

                  I wonder if Astley gets a royalty on any of this.

                        Interview with Rick Astley

                        Seems pretty normal.

                        QUOTE
                        Yes, I'd like to be a drummer in a cool rock ‘n’ roll band, of course, but I'm not. And sure, it's nice if anybody thinks, ‘He's actually a real artist, he's a musician.’ But I can appreciate where I am in life and not be bothered about the ‘cool’ thing. I feel pretty lucky to have stumbled into my situation, even though people have said all manner of things about me that weren't particularly nice. I don't really give a shit after all these years, because my life has been really easy because I sang that one song.”

                            @taiwan_girl I liked that version of "Never Gonna Give You Up."

                            It's amazing what a different treatment to a "classic" song can make. Look at the slow, mournful version of "Galveston" that Glen Campbell did with Jimmy Webb. Actually made me like that song.

                            Now, as to "Highway to Hell?"

                            Nah.

                              I was afraid that would have been a Rick Astley attempt to do a cover of Highway Star
