The cast of <em>Mad Men</em> "sing" Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up"

I post this not just because it’s the cast of AMC’s Mad Men performing Rick Astley’s famous Rick-rolling anthem one word at a time, but also because of the sheer man hours spent looking for each word in the lyrics being said at any point during the show’s first four seasons — which, if every episode is about 42 minutes, amounts to about 36 and a half hours of Mad Men — and then editing them all together, to music, in order to create the appearance of an assembled song. Please, bask in appreciation of YouTube user Buchan39’s efforts. Quick update 9/5: Wasn’t sure yesterday if the video was created for or by standup comedian Richard Sandling — it was, indeed, created by the comedian himself. (Thanks, Pete!)
