Rick Roll

This article is about a Media Source, which is remixed to create a YouTube Poop.

Overview

Rick Astley himself dancing to the Rick Roll.

A Rick Roll is a trap involving an amazing, yet bullshitty lie (like, lets say, having Leon S. Kennedy who's most famous for being in Resident Evil 4 become a playable character in Killer 7 as an example) to lure unsuspecting people to the Rick Astley video "Never Gonna Give You Up". Rick Rolling fell out of style around 2010 and is not seen very often anymore. If you are daring, you can watch it below.

Recently, this song has been getting mash-ups by other bands and musicians, such as Michael Jackson with his Bad song and Nirvana with their Smells Like Teen Spits Spirits song. Barack Obama has also done a cover called the "Barack Roll".

Facts
