Do you know what it is to be Rick Rolled?

Go ahead and Google it, but please answer before Googling.

I confess I didn't know until I looked it up but now I know why I kept seeing Rick Astley pop up in very unusual places.

Thanks for the enlightenment.

My husband has Rick Rolled us on a few occasions (to me and to our 2 oldest children). He drives a lot for work and we were teens when the song came out so he thought it was hilarious to Rick Roll us when he heard it on the radio! Thank goodness the novelty has worn off.

I do! I've been Rick Rolled a few times, and even the Macy's Parade was Rick Rolled a year of two ago! I about died laughing, and my parents sat there completely lost. It still makes me giggle.

ETA: I was invited to an embarrassing music you love party today. I think I'll be adding this song to my list! Thanks Kenny!

How did the whole rick rolling thing get started anyway?
