For those of you who haven''t heard of it, from Wikipedia: Rickrolling is a prank and Internet meme involving the music video for the 1987 Rick Astley song "Never Gonna Give You Up". In a rickroll, a person provides a link they claim is relevant to the topic at hand which actually takes the user to the Astley video. It can also mean playing the song loudly in public in order to be disruptive. A person who falls for the prank is said to be "rickrolled". In some cases, this term is also used to describe a person who merely hears the song.

That''s awesome! I don''t know if you remember this, but a few years back people did a similar thing and got New Kids On The Block''s "Hangin'' Tough" on TRL on MTV.

Also, I just saw a thing online where some guy "Rickrolled" those crazy "God Hates *Blank*" bible beaters. He stood there with a boombox on his shoulder playing the song and held a sign with I think the song lyrics and danced in front of them. Hilarious! The crazy bible beaters just stood there-I guess they didn''t know what was going on...

How funny! Coincidentally, I only just heard of rickrolling yesterday on another forum. Too bad it's not the Yankees...

Thing2of2, that's AWESOME. Anything to drown those evil creeps out.
