Never Gonna Give You Up

"Never Gonna Give You Up" was a song that played on Pete Tyler's car radio on his way to church for Stuart Hoskins and Sarah Clark's wedding on 7 November 1987. Rose Tyler, in the car with him, was confused when the song turned into anachronistic hip-hop music. It was sung by Rick Astley in the version heard in the car. (TV: Father's Day)

Lyrics

 * I just want to tell you how I'm feeling
 * Got to 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 known 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...

Behind the scenes

 * The inserting of the Rick Astley recording of "Never Gonna Give You Up" into TV shows and YouTube videos as a practical joke is known as "Rickrolling". This practice did not begin, however, until two years after Father's Day was first broadcast.
