My daughter told me the other day that kids in her middle school Rickroll each other. I can't believe it's still a thing in 2021. 

For those who don't know the song reference, you can check it out here.

Wow it's as though you live in my house. Except here My cats just don't have an interest in music. I've tried believe me. They have a tendency to leave the room when I start to sing.

Good grief, that started 13 years ago. I guess it's like a cicada brood.

#Scott Metzger I get the reference to the song, your cat lyrics are hilarious, and your drawing is so cute n cool as always, but...I don't know what it means to rickroll someone. So does that mean to sing that to them? I'm never going to understand, never going to get it right...unless you tell me...

Lol! 😂 I was totally singing this in my head, but I don’t get the Rickroll reference… I’m just old, I guess…. I remember the song when it came out.. 🙃

You know your cat isn't into your singing when their ears go flat. It happens to me sometimes

I didn't know it was 13 years ago. I would've guessed around 10. Wow

Rickrolling is when you send someone a link to Rick Astley singing Never Gonna Give You Up, but you disguise the link saying it's something else (something the person would be eager to click on). It's a bait and switch prank.

#Scott Metzger thank you so much for explaining! I didn't have a clue and the thing is, I spend alot of time at my job in the IT dept of my organization teaching about cybersecurity. I might have to start including rickrolling in my practice examples. 😹

I just remembered that "Ralph Breaks the Internet" featured a rickroll, and that was in 2018. Maybe that's where kids learned about it.

I’ve been Rickrolled but it’s been awhile. Glad to know it’s still a thing.

And Rick Astley thinks it is funny!
