You've all been RICK ROLLED!

Of course you cannot download the Soulwax DVD for free through the Xbox online store- you have to pay for it just as anything else. And you certainly can't download it from my much appreciated and depreciated post. The zip-files were full of multiples of:

Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up (zshare)
Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up (ysi)

http://thelemurblog.blogspot.com/2008/08/soulwax-part-of-week-end-never-dies.html


I LOVE Never Gonna Give You Up and I LOVE RICK ROLLING. Yes, indeed I was Rick Rolled by Palms Out Sounds, it wasn't the first time I've been Rick Rolled on the net, but I laughed as hard as I do every time. I had never Rick Rolled someone else before, since Coldplay - Violet Hill (Justice's Death And All His Friends Remix) didn't lead to a Rick Roll gag, so I decided this would be a fun opportunity.

To my surprise it was appreciated by some:

"tristan said...

Thank you very much. Did this mean you've seen the complete DVD already?
"

tristan probably commented before downloading and as an answer to the question: no, I haven't seen the DVD yet. Anyone who is not in a payback mood who could kindly and sincerely hook me up on a copy?

Some where quite irritated or even furiously outraged to my increasing great amusement:

"alexander said...

Vad i helvete. Det där var fan lägre än glocalnet :')
"

Some also stated that Rick Rolling is no longer funny and I couldn't disagree more. It's not stupid! It's hilarious and brilliant! Dull sulkers are never appreciated. Wasn't it even the teeny tiniest bit funny when you opened that 100/170 MB zip-file that had been on the download for like 5 minutes (357 internet years) just to discover mutliples of a wonderful cheesy happycore 80s pop song? Why was Palms Out Sounds' gag funnier than this?

"radd said...

This Rick think is no longer funny!
Laughed @ PalmsOS but now it's just mega stoopid !!
"

Some didn't even seem to know what was going on! That was the biggest WTF for me when reading the comments. Haven't y'all heard of Rick Rolling y'all? I was glad to see that Tellier or Léger commented, however.

"anonymous said...

thanx for this great post! but unfortunately i cannot unrar the archive. when doing this in both cases (100mb file and 180mb file) i get one 80ies track several times?!?!? rick astley - never gonna give you up, wtf? can anyone help me out? im using unrarx on mac......thx.

"anonymous said...

hi...seems like all links are down for the DVD (all rar files contain the usual a Rick Astley song)

please re-up!!!
"

"anonymous said...

lucky i only downloaded the small one, 174mb of rick roll would be fatal. haha certainly not coming back to this shit blog anyway.
"

Sigh... yes there's something wrong with your archive programs and my link was probably fucked up when I uploaded the DVD. Oh no. Please come back to read my blog. I'm devastated. I'm so sorry. Sigh...

OMG Y'ALL! YOU WERE AAALLLLLL SO FREAKING RICK ROLLED! YES! YOU! AND YOU! AND YOU AND YOU AND YOU AND YOU AND YOU!

I still love y'all, keep reading the blog, I'm sorry (not), apologies, any inconveniences etc. etc. blablablabla...

I don't see why you you would have something against this song?! I LOVE it! It's a brilliant pop song with an awesome melody that CAN'T fail to make you happy or you're probably a little heartless. Why don't we all just leave this behind us and dance the night away to one of the best songs the 80s had to offer? I am:


Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you

Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you


Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up

So u really thought it was funny to make your readers (who sort of trust you) download over 180mb for a joke?

Sorry, I guess you were wrong. I'll no longer read your blog.

Cheers

if you lived in belgium you would have been lucky and seen it on tv last week! i didn't download it so haven't been rick rolled, but would have laughed if i was ;)

Diego Varese said...

well, i'd never been rick-rolled in my life, and that's probably why i didn't get it. Yes, I downloaded the copy from zshare AND from rapidshare, boo hoo me. Anyway, next time do it with smaller files, I live in a 4th world country where DSL speed is lame.

Good thing about this is I found the title to that song, I'd always heard it on the radio but didn't know its name. Now I have 75 copies of it :)

it's just extreeeeeeemly lame to copy the palm outs rickroll. pushing it further by posting a trillion copies track doesn't make it less lame. you're just lacking creativity, you lamo lemur!
