apparently, the embed script for the first video has been disabled by request. you can go here to watch it. it's not a rick roll, but it is awesome. you'll be glad you saw it.

the other is still available, and while the other was a rather humorous video, this one is a haunting rendition of coldplay's fix you. it's very good.
