To celebrate the 35th anniversary of the rickrolling hit (and sell some roadside assistance in the process), Rick Astley teamed up with AAA Insurance to create a scene-for-scene remake of the music video for ‘Never Gonna Give You Up’ as an ad for the insurance giant. This is that video.
This is a video of DJ SUAT doing his thing while paragliding over the Austrian Alps with a chest-mounted DJ rig. That’s…something. An absolutely breathtaking view and he spends the whole time staring at an electronic rig. I’m sure there’s a life lesson here somewhere. One about not diddling your

Per one Youtuber explaining just
This is a video of talented acapella group MayTree (previously) covering the theme song from Thomas & Friends. They do a splendid job, five out of five finger in the cheek popping sounds. You know, when I was growing up children’s programming didn’t have theme songs. As a matter of
