So, many people know what "Rick-Rolling" is. For those that are unfamiliar, back in the late 1980's, there was a musician named Rick Astley who had some hits such as 'Never Gonna Give You Up' and 'Together Forever'. They dominated the charts in the US for a while. And while, Rick Astley, who is not a native of the United States, has a very distinct sound to him, did not have many hits in the US after that, he is still highly remembered.
There is a phenomenon behind him, to which he admittedly, does not mind. You can read more about how this prank got started here.
Basically, it is a prank on a person, or group of people, and is used as a meme or shows scenes from his 'Never Gonna Give You Up' video right in the middle of a broadcast. When some religious groups were protesting a concert of a band I like, which I won't mention in this post, they could have done a lot of things. Instead, what did they do? They drove by the protest, in the bed of a truck, blaring 'Never Gonna Give You Up' and 'Rick-rolled' the protest to lighten up the situation.
In turn, I give you, my Rick-roll no one was expecting. :)
