What is Rick Rolling?
Rick Rolling is a popular internet prank that involves tricking someone into clicking a link that leads them to the music video for Rick Astley's 1987 hit song "Never Gonna Give You Up".

I had been Rick Rolled.
The Aftermath
At first, I was annoyed that I had fallen for such a silly prank. But as the song played on, I couldn't help but sing along and dance in my chair. The catchy tune and upbeat lyrics had me in a good mood for the rest of the day. I even shared the video with my friends and family, who all had a good laugh at my expense.
