The video is achy breaky broken.

The King is alive!

Except we haven't been rickrolled. The link opens up a page with the video imbedded on it, and you can see that it's a rickroll, and then you don't click on play.

FAIL.

LOL!!!

/not.

Greenlit. Seriously? The rest of the Internet realized this wasn't funny about a year ago. Get with the goddamn times Fark!

John Cale's live version FTW!

Wow, a greenlit RickRoll. I'm sure my next submission of cats with hilarious captions featuring poor English grammar will be instantly greenlit, too!

Well, yeah, but I at least thought we were going to get a decent version of Elvis doing it here. An attempted Rickroll? That's weaker than a toilet full of pissed-out Coors Light.

Anyway, here's the King:

1956

1968 (medley w/Hound Dog & All Shook Up)

and just for you, T_U_E, here's another spooky Cale version with Richard Thompson and Shawn Colvin.

I'll take a Rick Roll over an Elvis any time.

Hmmm... that right there... that's, uh, wrong. Yeah... "wrong" -- definitely the word I was looking for.

Wow. hey thanks. never saw that one before, ever! much thx.

I went out to lunch with my research professor the other day. As I went to the soda dispenser to get my drinks, I heard a familiar sound on the radio playing on the speakers.

CiCi's had just Rick Rolled me.

Haha. You all fell for it. I didn't. I win.

Orion is unimpressed.

/Ladies and gentlemen, Elvis has left the planet.

I came in here to post about how overrated Elvis was without even watching the vid but instead I find out that the video isn't even Elvis, but a Rick roll.

Wouldn't I have looked stupid.

I didn't laff

Give him a break, hes in canada. Canada sucks

I never "got" the Elvis appeal. There were plenty of musicians doing the same thing he did, only earlier and better. The only way I can comprehend his popularity (although I really hate to play this card) is that Elvis, despite the naughty hips and all, was white, and therefore seemed safer to consumers. I understand that he was the inspiration for a generation of rock 'n' rollers, but we should be celebrating them, not their influence who just so happened to have a more accessible sound and race.

In other news, a greenlit Rickroll? For serious? When I want that shiat I'll go to 4chan.

Anybody that posts a 'Rick-Roll' on Fark should forever be BANNINATED!!!

Starting now...

How long have you been an idiot?

Elvis enjoyed and continues to enjoy massive respect from singers both male and female.

Prissy white hipster douchebags whine that he never wrote a song and then gush over Billie Holiday who wrote like one.

/love both of them
//not Elvis's fault he was white...so were a lot of other people who went nowhere trying to cop the blues.

You suck, smitty.

A joke isn't funny when you beat it to death.
