1x4 Dennis driving

Dennis listens to Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up" in "Charlie Has Cancer"

jIt's Always Sunny in Philadelphia uses a variety of music either to accompany a joke, or add humor to a scene.

Several songs in the show are part of the running joke about Dennis' love for 80's music.
