MTV Europe Music Awards

The MTV Europe Music Awards have been rickrolled when 4chan, as well as several other forums (I believe ultimate guitar forum actually started it), voted to have Rick Astley nominated. He accepted the nomination and may quite possibly win, which would be probably the largest rickroll ever. Someone add this to the article, I'm not sure where to add it in. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.106.103.47 (talk • contribs) 01:53, 4 October 2008

Rickrolled in a Movie?

I wanted to put before everyone if this would be something that could be added to the article. I was just re watching a movie called Cube Zero which is part of a movie trilogy. Its a pretty gruesome sci fi movie. The gist of the movies is that people are trapped in a high tech cube and have to find their way out by moving into a different part of the cube that doesnt a have a lethal trap. If you get trapped in one that does, your dead. In Cube Zero an unfortunate person gets trapped in a cube room where the deadly trap is several ultra sonic speakers blaring,you guessed it, Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up". It blares into the room where the guys dies a very gruesome screaming death, although I wonder if it was because of having to hear the song or the decibels. I know this is'nt technically a "rickroll" as defined by the article but I feel it should be included somehow. I hope I get some feed back soon. If nobody responds after a few weeks Ill add it with some qualifications and others can edit it or take it down. Here's the scene.

According to the YouTube user who posted the video, the song isn't actually in the movie (which is actually somewhat obvious). --RaygunShaun (talk) 14:51, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No it is not actually obvious but I do see that he did make the comment to the effect that it was not in the movie after I had seen the video.--76.31.242.174 (talk) 23:42, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's in a drama!

Oh my god,the music is in the Gloria drama.WTF?Why did the cast of the Gloria drama put that music in the background?If you hear the Rick Roll music while watching this drama,you know why.The 8th episode of the Gloria drama should have negative reception.--99.130.169.30 (talk) 13:17, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
