RICK-ROLLED!

Here is Rick Astley performing his 1987 hit (?) "Never Gonna Give You Up" at today's Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in NYC. I spent about 5 minutes marveling at the sheer randomness of this performance (Rick Astley....? Really??) especially against the backdrop of a bunch of bizarre-looking, song-singing puppets in a cartoon house and those kids in their fugly-ass striped sweaters. It's probably worth the 2 minutes to peep this if you just try to ignore his blatant lip-syncing and just let the music take control.



While you're at it, check out the original video of the same song. I need to learn this dance as soon as humanly-fucking possible.

[I can't embed this vid because apparently Rick Astley got sick of people blogging about the raw power of his musical genius. Regardless, you should definitely find some time to peep it. I doubt you'll regret it.]
