Holy isht, climate change is depressing, isn’t it? Time for some light entertainment as I turn into the blogging equivalent of the Royal Variety Performance, circa 1988 (hosted by Ronnie Corbett and Bruce Forsyth, don’cha know). In that year, Rick Astley busted a move all over the place, but how familiar are you with L’Astley’s oeuvre?
If you’re really having trouble with this question (which you undoubtedly will if you aren’t British and didn’t grow up in the 1980s), the Minute would like to assist, because that’s how we roll. Assistance comes in the form of a Rick remix which has the remarkable effect of making you want to dance to “Never Gonna Give You Up”, rather than punch someone in the lung.

Nice. You did see this, right?
I have now. And of course let’s not forget this.
Nice. I’m not sure that’s based on the kind of rich, statistical research that went into the Rick Astley thang.
Possibly not. Nothing beats the sheer elegance of this, however.
Nice. Spartan genius.
