}} "Never Gonna Give You Up" is a song recorded by British singer Rick Astley. It was written and produced by Stock Aitken Waterman. The song was released as the first single from Astley's successful debut album, ''Whenever You Need Somebody'' (1987) on 3 August 1987. The song was a worldwide number-one hit, initially in the singer's native United Kingdom in 1987, where it stayed at atop the chart for five weeks and was the best-selling single of that year. It eventually topped the charts in 25 countries, including the United States and West Germany.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher= Mike Stock Music )〕 The song won Best British Single at the 1988 Brit Awards. In 2004, it was voted no. 28 in ''50 Most Awesomely Bad Songs... Ever'' by VH1. The music video for the song has become the basis for the "Rickrolling" Internet meme. In 2008, Rick Astley won the MTV Europe Music Award for Best Act Ever with the song, as a result of collective voting from thousands of people on the internet, due to the popular phenomenon of Rickrolling. It was also featured as a downloadable track for the ''Rock Band'' series. The song is considered Astley's signature song. ==Music video== In the "Never Gonna Give You Up" music video, directed by Simon West,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Simon West )〕 produced by Andy Picheta and edited by Robert Bannochie, a smiling Astley sings and dances to the song in various outfits and venues in west London, sometimes accompanied by backup dancers. A bartender, played by Clive Clarke (who appeared prolifically in 1980s music videos, and was a member of Top of the Pops dance troupe Zoo) gradually shifts from casually noticing Astley's singing to being fully engrossed in the song with energetic acrobatic moves. The athletic exertion of many of the other dancers also becomes more intense over the course of Astley's performance. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Never Gonna Give You Up」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
