"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.
