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...

Easter Egg in Google Books Ngram Viewer
Rickrolling seems to be Google's favorite prank. If you try to search for [never gonna give you up] in Google's recently launched Ngram viewer, you'll have a pleasant surprise: a YouTube video of Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up".

Lol, in The Netherlands the vid is blocked by VEVO.
ReplyDeleteFail :P
Same in France.
ReplyDeleteRickroll FAIL.
It's the same in Italy.
ReplyDeleteBut I see this as a feature: Vevo is kindly preventing Europeans from getting Rickrolled by Google
:D

Blocked in the UK as well, way to go Google!
ReplyDeleteLove the Rick Roll. I also love European governments "kindly preventing" Internet services . . .
ReplyDelete"This video contains content from Vevo, who has blocked it in your country on copyright grounds."
ReplyDeleteFAIL.
Sorry about that. I put that easter egg in, assuming no rightsholder would object to the dissemination of Mr. Astley's talents worldwide.
