I don't know the year that it became popular and I don't know if the stories are correct, but it is fun. I think it should continue because it doesn't bother me

I think you know to what I am referring.

I don't.

Maybe if I said, "Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down, never gonna run around and desert you. Never gonna make you cry, never gonna say goodbye, never gonna tell a lie and hurt you."

Someone rickrolled the parade?

[kagomeshuko]

Rick Astley himself! The parade organizers and Rick Astley. Seriously.

In 2008. he was on the float for Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends and they Rickrolled everybody!!!

2008 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade - Rickrolled

[pennywhistle]

I remember watching that live. It was hilarious!!

[kagomeshuko]

Yep! I remember people posting in LJ going, "Did they just do what I think they did?"

[eska818]

I didn't either, until I read further down the comments. :)

[kagomeshuko]

Oh well. My experiment with this didn't work as well as I thought - or at least people aren't familiar enough with rickrolls any longer.

[eska818]

I know the rickroll meme, I just think that your references to it were far too ambiguous. Suggesting that your reader "knows what you mean" in writing isn't always a good idea - your audience is large and varied, so it's hard to say what any of us is really familiar with. :)

I know it's not always a good idea to suggest that people know what I mean, but I wanted to try that with this entry.
