Rick Astley

Rick Astley trended on Twitter early Thursday over a crisp, remastered 4K version of the rickrolled 1987 hit “Never Gonna Give You Up” that has appeared on YouTube.

Here’s the new version:

Twitter users have opinions.

Comparing the standard video for Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You up with the upscaled high def version is like remembering a drunken visit to a night club and then going back and seeing it again in the cruel light of day.

I freakin' love Twitter. I was so down when I logged in and almost immediately saw that Rick Astley was trending, which scared the crap out of me. I clicked on it and got remastered amazingly wonderfully strange Rick Astley doing what Rick Astley does best. I don't even mind 🙂 https://t.co/eDIIHODjtr

Everyone is all excited about the Nintendo Select stuff, and I'm just over here like "Rick Astley but in 4K?"

It's a lot less cursed than people are saying…granted, I enjoy the song.
