You've been Rickrolled!
A rickroll is a prank played on an unsuspecting web surfer. To be rickrolled is when browsing a website (especially a discussion forum or comment board), one comes across a link expecting it to lead to one thing, but finds something completely different when the link is clicked.
The name Rick refers to 80s pop singer Rick Astley. The standard rickroll generally involves someone posting a link claiming it leads to something quite interesting (e.g. hot chicks in panties), but actually linking to a video of Mr. Astley singing "Never Gonna Give You Up." This is usually considered a major let-down.
A rickroll is an unsuspected pop up of 1980's pop singer Rick Astley singing his infamous song 'Never gonna give you up'. The pranks are drawn from things like, FREE CLUB PENGUIN MEMBER, and HOT CHICKS IN BIKINIS. Rick astley sings in a deep and annoying tone and the music video is extremely stupid. Getting rickrolled is like getting slapped in the face, and by watching the music video too much, you might as well kill yourself.
