Rick Roll
Overview
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".
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".
