My favorite paradox is the Rick Astley Paradox

4 Upvotes

For those of you who don't know it (you probably do): If you ask Rick Astley for a DVD of the movie Up, he can't give it to you, because he's never gonna give you up. But by not giving you the movie, he's letting you down. He can't run away, because he said he wouldn't run around or desert you. And by not giving you the movie, you might cry, when he promised he wouldn't make you cry. If he doesn't have the movie, he'd also be letting you down. He can't lie and say he doesn't have the movie, because he promised he wouldn't tell a lie to you. If he really doesn't have the movie? That would be letting you down.

Who he beat to get to Number 1 ? First time Never Gonna Give You Up went to number 1 was on August 29 1987.
And he stayed there for 5 consecutive weeks !

hey so i’ve been looking for this exact clip of rick and i have a screenshot ill post below. i have a feeling its from the celebrity aids segment they did in july (i think) 1988 and ive looked on getty and it only shows a 20 second clip of rick in it but i think its from there because rick has the same tie. if anyone can help me find a longer clip that will be amazing. ive enhanced the screenshot as ive had it saved onto my snapchat stickers for about 9 years 😭 very random but if anyone can help that will be great!! ty!!

and knowing how much Rick hates this period of his music career, I bet we don't get a 2cd deluxe version to celebrate the album.

I may have to create a whole new set of extended mixes to celebrate the day!
