Shame on you @beschizza. Shame!

Is this what you use to “Rick-ripple” someone?

2019’s been hard on Astley if he’s releasing a sad take of his song :c Does he need a hug? Because i will give him a hug…

Reggie Watts did a cover of Never Gonna Give You Up (well, they stopped about halfway, which is probably for the best). It’s just utterly fantastic.

Only tangentially related, but I am a fan of Aztec Camera’s cover of Van Halen’s “Jump.”
