Twitter has brought musician Rick Astley of “Never Gonna Give You Up“/Rickrolling fame and Linkin Park‘s Mike Shinoda together. It started with the below tweet from a Twitter user regarding the apparently similar ranges the two singers possess:
Today i learned that @mikeshinoda has almost the exact same range as @rickastley lol. They are also both Baritone vocalist.
Mike's range is between F2-E5!
Rick's range is between E2-E5!
Now i want to see Mike perform "Never Gonna Give You Up" and RickRoll the entire crowd. ??— Blizaliz (@MayMayBlizaliz) January 31, 2018
Shinoda replied:
I’m not sure if this is true, but I want it to be true. https://t.co/TUjbK14AdQ

Today (February 01st) Astley himself also chimed in:
Dear Mike
Let's make double album of Norwegian folk songs immediately
Best

And of course, Shinoda responded:
Hello Rick,
Norwegian folk songs are my favorite kind of folk songs. Also, can I get a signed photo? Our bass player @phoenixlp is a big fan, and his birthday is coming up.
