Never gonna give you up: Student pulls off rickroll prank in essay

Never underestimate a high school student's ability to craft an inspired prank.

Going back to the '80s for inspiration, Sairam Gudiseva wrote an essay with a " rickroll " message best to be enjoyed by fans of good-natured shenanigans.

Give Gudiseva props. It isn't easy to write about scientist Niels Bohr, while working in Rick Astley lyrics that you may miss on first pass. Gudiseva posted a copy of his essay to Twitter, with the Astley lyrics marked up with a yellow highlighter. As the Independent noted, it's impressive to write an essay on physics, never mind the time it must have taken to get each lyric to line up perfectly.

Going back years, rickrolling is a term for getting victims to watch Rick Astley when they least expect to. Sometimes, during a boring video, the merry prankster will cut to Astley a few minutes in and let his melodic rock crash over you like the rushing tides of the Pacific Ocean, so gentle, so free.

You may have thought rickrolling had jumped the shark , but no. You just can't keep a good prank down. It is worth noting that Gudiseva isn't the first student to pull the essay prank. In 2010, using a never ending stream of Astley lyrics in a computer essay, a student pulled a similar stunt. You're going to have to keep in mind that Guyism , the site with that story, is NSFW (not safe for work).

Student’s essay sneakily rickrolls professor.

Rickrolling , generally a digital bait-and-switch , involves tricking someone into viewing or hearing the Rick Astley song, “ Never Gonna Give You Up .” When redditor Mayniac182 was certain a computer class teacher didn’t actually read through students’ work, the redditor decided to hide the lyrics to “Never Gonna Give You Up” within a paper. Check out the full essay below, as well as Mayniac182’s full explanation.

Explanation:

Everyone in my computing class is certain the teacher doesn’t actually go through ANY work we hand in. So I’ve been up for the last few hours crafting  this . The first paragraph started as an idea to use ridiculously complex words to confuse him (English is his second language), do that for a bit then just go Fresh Prince on him, but that got boring. If you want to read through it all and figure out what I’ve done to it (aside from writing complete bullshit), read through it now and don’t read the next line. Read the first word of every line that touches the left margin (so everything that isn’t indented). It’s taken eight cups of coffee, but I finally did it. Rickrolling my computing teacher in style. EDIT : I handed it in just over an hour ago. Next lesson is on Friday, but I doubt he’ll ever give it back. If he does, it will probably just have a few ticks on it or something. I’ll do a follow up if he finds the Rickrolling though.

Getting to grips with the complicated works of a Nobel prize winning physicist can be difficult enough.

But a student's short biography of scientist Niels Bohr has gone viral on the internet after he also managed to weave the lyrics from a Rick Astley song into the text under the nose of his professor.

Sairam Gudiseva's boast on Twitter that he had 'Rick Rolled my physics teacher...', posting an accopmanying photograph of his essay with the verse from the 1987 hit 'Never Gonna Give You Up' written with the first word on every line.

Going viral: Student Sairam Gudiseva posted a picture of an essay which had the song lyrics from Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You Up weaved into the text

The tweet has been retweeted nearly 18,000 times since being uploaded four days ago.

Interwoven among details of the Danish physicist, who made foundational contributions to understanding atomic structure and quantum theory, were the words: 'Never going to give you up, never going to let you down, never going to run around and desert you, never going to make you cry, never going to say goodbye, never going to tell you a lie.'

His friends on the social network were quick to praise his ingenuity about being able to craft the essay from the lyrics with enough subtlety to avoid his teacher noticing.

Boasting: Sairam Gudiseva managed to slip song verse, highlighted in yellow down the left side of the page, into his essay without his professor realising

The University student at South Harmon Institute of Technology, Missouri, was latching on to an Internet meme involving the music video for the 1987 Rick Astley song which went to number one in the charts in 25 countries.

To carry off the prank, people attempt to insert something to do with the Rick Astley hit into a video or text on a totally unrelated topic without the viewer being immediately aware.

The prank was first dreamed up in May 2007 and took off across the internet.

The musician himself even took part in a Rickrolling stunt by interrupting a float in the 2008 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York with a rendition of his song.

A string of famous people have been the bait for a Rickrolling attempt - including U.S. President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle.

Praise: The prank won Sairam Gudiseva gushing praise from some of his twitter followers

Crafty: Sairam Gudiseva's successful 'Rickrolling' of his teacher impressed his twitter followers

In 2008, a number of political blogs posted an article claiming to show Michelle Obama going on a rant full of racist references to 'Whitey', but the video was actually a Rickroll.

Hugh Atkin, an Australian lawyer and notable producer of Internet viral videos, created a popular YouTube parody video of the rickrolling meme involving U.S. President Barack Obama while he was running for the White House in 2008.

The video consists of clips of Obama speaking the words of Astley's song and scenes of his appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

Student Rickrolls Teacher By Sneaking Rick Astley Lyrics into Quantum Physics Paper

in Comedy , Physics | January 17th, 2014 7 Comments

Here’s a funny little variation on “rickrolling,” a term some of our readers might not be familiar with. So let’s quickly refer you to Wikipedia:

Rickrolling is an Internet meme involving the music video for the 1987 Rick Astley song “Never Gonna Give You Up” . The meme is a bait and switch; a person provides a hyperlink which is seemingly relevant to the topic at hand, but actually leads to Astley’s video. The link can be masked or obfuscated in some manner so that the user cannot determine the true destination of the link without clicking. People led to the music video are said to have been rickrolled. Rickrolling has extended beyond web links to playing the video or song disruptively in other situations, including public places, such as a live appearance of Astley himself in the 2008 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York. The meme helped to revive Astley’s career.

Now, in another sign that rickrolling has gone beyond the web, we have above a snapshot of a quantum physics written by Sairam Gudiseva , a student at (we believe) White Station High School in Tennessee. As the snapshot shows, Gudiseva managed to run the lyrics of “Never Gonna Give You Up” down the left margin of the page … while still keeping his ideas flowing. Well done, young man. You can see a full page of his essay here .

By the way, this is not the first time some levity has been introduced to a physic paper. You might want to refer back to our 2012 post,  Physical Attraction: Marriage Proposal Comes in the Form of a Physics Paper .

Nice one, but it’s been done before. Here’s one from 2010: http://www.dumpert.nl/mediabase/1179861/15bf4e1f/beste_rickroll_ooit.html

Sairam did not sneak them in. He got expelled from school.

This was never an assignment. He did not write this

I see 6 typographical errors: Line 3: Missing a space before “things” Line 8: Missing the “t” in “to” after “orbit” Line 10: Extra space between the quote mark and “If” Lines 16 & 17: “Nazis” is misspelled, don’t need the apostrophes Line 25: The apostrophe should be before the “s” not after it

Correcting these errors would not have impacted the Rick-rolling, so B- for being unnecessarily sloppy with the grammar.

Prank Artist of the Day: Teacher Rickrolled by Quantum Physics Essay

A physics student has recharged an old meme when he Rickrolled his teacher in a scholarly fashion by cleverly inserting every lyric to Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You Up into the margin of an essay. Just composing an assessment on the influence of Danish scientist Niels Bohr on the theory of quantum physics would be challenging enough, let alone strategizing the presumably pain-staking process of laying out this massive prank.

Eighties pop crooner Rick Astley is the last person you’d expect to pop up in an essay on quantum physics.

But one inspired student took the art of ‘rickrolling’ to another level by inserting the chorus from the singer’s hit song, Never Gonna Give You Up, into an essay.

Sairam Gudiseva later posted a picture of his work, with the words highlighted, on Twitter, with the image being re-tweeted almost 18,000 times.

The rickrolling internet meme involves directing unsuspecting internet users to a video of the 1987 hit single via a web link.

‘Many people have expressed the opinion that the most attention-getting aspect of the video is Rick Astley’s unexpectedly deep voice in contrast to his youthful looks,’ explains knowyourmeme.com.

Genius student 'Rick rolls' his teacher by hiding Rick Astley lyrics in an essay about quantum physics

The brainy science student secretly inserted the lyrics from eighties smash Never Gonna Give You Up into a physics essay

• 19:04, 17 Jan 2014

A genius student "Rick rolled" his teacher - hiding Rick Astley lyrics in an essay about quantum physics.

Brainy Sairam Gudiseva wrote eighties smash Never Gonna Give You Up into his coursework.

His professor didn't realise the first word of each sentence spelt out the chorus from the mushy power ballad.

Sairam shared his prank on social networking website Twitter where he received almost 20,000 retweets .

Twitter user Kirk Presley said: "This is singlehandedly the greatest work of prose since the Bible."

The American student wrote the joke into an essay about Niels Bohr - the Danish scientist who helped invent the atomic bomb.

The secret references to singer-songwriter Rick are almost impossible to spot unless you are looking for them.

Rick rolling is an internet sensation which involves tricking people into watching the music video for the 1987 hit by disguising it as a link to something else.
