    From Wikipedia:
    [Never Gonna Give You Up by Rock Astley] became the basis for an Internet phenomenon known as "Rickrolling", where a YouTube link to the video is disguised as a link to something else, usually breaking news, in order to deceive the user.[1] As a result, the video has received over 3 million hits as of the end of November 2007.
