Does it say something about me, that I had to un-mute my computer to know what this was about? I was living blissfully unaware of this song and it's singer, but that's all over now. Well GoodNews, I hope you're happy, another innocent victim to notch in your keyboard, another life destroyed...

Thanks for that, that's always happening to me.

Wow. I mean, wow. That's like saying you're from Mars to me. Having grown up in Holland in the 80s, this song is *etched onto my cortex*.

And no, no, I will. not. apologise.

Yeah, it was a big MTV hit. And every single person I know hated it.

Like disco.

Also, like disco, I find it very easy on the ears these days.

This is one of my most favorite internet memes EVAR. Rickrolling never fails to amuse me or make me laugh.

I did own the 12 inch dance version of this song on vinyl, though. YMMV.

It's bullshit like this that makes me pine for the days when goatse-ing people was good, innocent fun.

Argh! Dammit! I'd been Rick free for so long! I feel like that "Oh my foot!" guy from this scene from the Life of Brian. (And, BTW, speaking of music, does anyone know what background music is playing while Brian flees the multitudes? I've always thought it was so beautiful. Monteverdi?)
