Today's most innovative Rick Roll: Astley's hit on Audiosurf
38
At long last, someone has found a way to update the "RIck Roll" phenomenon in such a way that we could post about it on Joystiq. Of course, we could have tricked you with a headline like "Check out the best Audiosurf play evar!," but that'd just be cruel. Instead, we'll give you the tools for successfully Ricksurfing your friends and enemies. Proceed with caution after the break.

Aw, I was looking forward to a complete lack of grey blocks, but this is pretty okay too.
On another note, Rick Astley doesn't -need- to be updated. :)

sing along everybody
We're no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I
A full commitment's what I'm thinking of
You wouldn't get this from any other guy
I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand
* 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
We've know each other for so long
Your heart's been aching
But you're too shy to say it
Inside we both know what's been going on
We know the game and we're gonna play it
And if you ask me how I'm feeling
Don't tell me you're too blind to see
(* repeat)
give you up. give you up
give you up, give you up
never gonna give
never gonna give, give you up
never gonna give
never gonna give, five you up
I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand
(* repeat 3 times)

don't really like it, but do agree that the 80's were awesome. as for youtube music vids, this scene from a certain 1980's film takes the cake. (yeah i thought it was a lie too)
it is awesome in so many ways

you are not alone my friend. i love the song, its just hilarious to watch him "dance" in the video with his same old 2 step. 80's music was great.

Oddly enough, I was the first person who ever Rickrolled myself. I didn't know what it was, so when I stumbled upon a website that un-tinyURLed sites to prevent being Rickrolled, I decided to click the link to see what it was. It wasn't just the video, it was one that shrunk my window and made it bounce all over so you couldn't close it. What a pain in the ass!

Can you actually be Rick Roll'd if you really like the song? Brings me memories of childhood.

Osu looks cool but it just lacks the outrageous situations brought with cheerleading blues brothers.

Tsk Tsk, is that the beta version? In retail version the blocks become translucent when you clear them.

Except it can play any music you currently own. Your not forced to buy songs at inflated prices, or hold a small yappy dog. This guy in the video sucks, he hit greys and he is not playing on ironmode.
