On April Fool’s Day I learned the meaning of Rickrolling. Never heard of that you say? See the Wiki definition below.

According to 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.[1] A person who falls for the prank is said to be “rickrolled” (or “rickroll’d”). In some cases, this term is also used to describe a person who merely hears the song.

Apparently on April Fool’s this year YouTube Rickrolled the entire planet by making all of their featured video links play the Rick Astley song instead of the intended videos. Brilliant! I wish I thought of this. Now I need to find someone to Rickroll.

Great, now I have that song stuck in my head….never gonna run around and desert you!
