Rick Roll’d… in Binary

October 30, 2008

Not to go WAY overboard with MTV related posts, but I couldn’t resist blogging about this one.  Apparently a Rick Astely fansite came across some binary code embedded in the countdown site to the MTV Eroupe Music Awards show.   The source code just so happened to translate to Astley’s lyrics: “We’re no strangers to love / You know the rules, and so do I.”

 

I don’t know who’s the biggest dork here… the MTV Europe website guy for putting the binary lyrics in the site… the Rick Astley uber-fan for combing the internets for mentions of Astley AND translating the binary to text… OR me for thinking it’s hilarious and photoshopping the above pic.

Some may be skeptical as to the existence of Monster Parties, but I have evidence that they are real.

I want to believe.

In keeping with the Halloween Week theme, here’s an awesome clip from Mr. Show that skewers goofy novelty recordings like “Monster Mash” as well as their champion, Dr. Demento.
