Do A Robo Roll?!

Update: 3/24/10 The creator of this music mix ImTakiNuSRS had his video blocked by a company who's name begins with the letter S... however in my opinion it's BS. If you wish to download the original in better quality I suggest you get a hold of the original mixer... http://www.youtube.com/user/ImTakiNuSRS The original video link for those who can watch is here... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZ20N6syuwc

For the uninitiated, what this is is a remix of Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up" (as seen on the internet series of tubes) including Yasunori Mitsuda's "Robo's Theme" from the game Chrono Trigger. I DID NOT CREATE THIS. This remix was created by Youtube user ImTakiNuSRS and featured in a previous video. I made this video not to mock anybody, but to show my admiration for Robo & Chrono Trigger not unlike other AMVs that use other's music to make their own videos. Now due to the original's deletion this is one of the few remaining remnants of the creator's original.

Notes: In actuality I kind of like the original song, but now it's much better... although bizarre with those robo sounds. I made the actual video on the seat of my pants, (which I always do) and if there is any cohesion to this video whether it be actions matching the music, or some sort of suggestive message like Robo having a thing for Lucca... I assure you it's purely by accident!

For those who are curious, Matsuda was recently contacted regarding the song, and he said that he had never heard of Rick Astley. Source: http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3171682 So out of respect for him remember that this is not, and never was the first Rick Roll. Many Japanese musicians have a vast range of influences including American music. But if you ask me, the songs don't sound that much alike other than having a similar chord progression. They are so different to me that I can't even imagine why anyone would draw that conclusion in the first place. However I will say that they do mesh pretty well, hence this video.

The video itself was a pain in the ass to make since it's difficult to find video of just Robo, (as he is probably the least favorite playable character in the game) even though he has a great back story just like many of the other characters. I had to cut the song short about 30 seconds because using WMM I just couldn't add anything else, and believe me I tried.

I'm just glad that people can enjoy this song again. Thank you ImTakiNuSRS. Consider this also as a tribute to you!

Wait, Robo isn't popular to play with? He was always in my party. . .

[AlucardsQuest]

@tlonmaster My understanding is that most people like Frog or Lucca.

[DarkKetzerisch]

Featured on TV Tropes! =D

[AlucardsQuest]

@DarkKetzerisch What's that?

[ShinChanRules5]

@AlucardsQuest You seriously don't know what TV Tropes is? o_O

[AlucardsQuest]

@ShinChanRules5 No, I lead a sheltered life.

[TearGrande]

Crono Marle Frog here :)

[MoskitoMoonstrider]

I always had Chrono, Frog and Robo. bros before hoes.

Those 2 songs are two similar to be a coincidence. But it still sounds great :3

[VostokApollo]

I think I had an aneurism after my brain finally linked the two together.

@DarkKetzerisch Is anything not featured on TV Tropes at this point?

[Loffter]

It's always good to know that I'm not the only one who thinks of this shit lol

[neosoc]

YES! YES! This is DELICIOUS!!!

[Trogdorbad]

OH MY GOD

YES

YES

YES

Thank you for uploading this. This is my favorite version of the various Robo Rolls on YouTube. Sounds so much better with the full version of Never Gonna Give You Up playing over it. By which I mean, I dislike the ones that use the acapella tracks. Also, found the Never Gonna Give You Up 7" Single with instrumental on the B-Side. FUCK YEAH.
