I found this top-secret, Steem themed alternate version of 'Never Gonna Give You Up' by Rick Astley and just couldn't keep it to myself.
Turns out he must be a huge fan of Steemit because he certainly seems to know all about what goes on here.
I've transcribed the lyrics:
We're no strangers to Steem
You know the rules and so do I
A full upvote is what I'm thinking of
You wouldn't get this from any other guy
I just wanna tell you why I'm flagging
Gotta make you understand
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna power down
Never gonna run around always hodl you
Never gonna make you buy
Never gonna plagiarise
Never gonna tell a lie or scam you
We've both been posting for so long
Been self upvoting, 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 why I'm flagging
Don't tell me you're too blind to see
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna power down
Never gonna run around always hodl you
Never gonna make you buy
Never gonna plagiarise
Never gonna tell a lie or scam you
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna power down
Never gonna run around always hodl you
Never gonna make you buy
Never gonna plagiarise
Never gonna tell a lie or scam you
(Ooh, give you up)
(Ooh, give you up)
Never gonna give, never gonna give
(Give you up)
Never gonna give, never gonna give
(Give you up)

(P.s to avoid any complications: Rick Astley had nothing to do with this other than being the one to record this 80s classic. Maybe share it with him and get him to join Steemit?)

I'm feeling this way now.
That made me laugh, I do not know if you are aware of the term being "rick rolled" to rick roll, you put this on someone else's, let's say car radio, and turn it up to full volume, after recording half a good track before it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rickrolling
I’ll upload the audio later so people can make their own.
Superb idea.
I like it

This is amazing XD
Xaxa, shit just got real :)
You actually brought Rick Rolling to Steemit. It's over.
Nice innovation
omg brilliant!
Can this become the newbie's pledge? Sung at every Steemit meet-up? lol
I hope it becomes the unofficial soundtrack to Steemfest 3
lol, I would want to attend just to hear that!
Your lyrics had me rolling! Great parody! I Steem'd-rolled!
Nice :)
Steem will MOON!
When you are at a weird part of youtube again, I mean dtube. Yeah weird dtube.
I just got steem rolled !
Excellent
Lol i had no idea you already posted it. You're fast!
Oh I forgot to mention it? Yeah - you gotta strike when the iron is hot, or in this case before you remember that you can never take this down...
Sure.
exactly my feelings!
I use this to troll my mates. I send them the ipfs hash and tell them it's some porn
Can you wait till it’s paid out so I don’t catch a bunch of flags? :)
Still enjoy listening to this up until this day :D Ohh I wish I can upvote older videos :D This is my all time favourite DTube video hands down. Thank you for making it bud
