Macy's Parade Got RickRoll'd!
JUSTPRESSPLAY ^ | November 27, 2008 | Arya Ponto

Is there anything left sacred anymore? Is there anything you bastards won't RickRoll? The Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade is a tradition, dammit. Can we please wake up early on a holiday and enjoy a parade without being eyeraped by an Internet meme?

Watch the video here as the Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends float is suddenly interrupted by a familiar tune...

My daughter had no idea what RickRolled was. Even I knew that

Is it the new version of a ‘Howard Stern Rules’ caller?

Give me Rick Astley any day over the saccharine dance/voice/acting class kids with their fake smiles and over-the-top choreography.

Every time I see one of their productions in this parade I am am thankful I’ve been to the West End many times and never to Broadway.

Is it safe to say Rick Astley rickrolled himself?

funny and pathetic at the same time

I liked the parade when it just a parade and not all the production numbers.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rickrolling. Rickrolling is sort of a musical hijacking, of some sort of public event, using the Rick Astley song "Never Gonna Give You Up."

I don't think this would count as an actual Rickroll, considering that the people who "got rolled" were in on the joke. Although having Rick Astley do the actual singing was something new.

So is Astley making any scratch off all this RickRolling stuff? I’m wondering if his career is coming back off the skids at all.
