Rickrolling

Came across this Family Guy clip of Brian the Dog singing Rick Astley's "Never Give You Up". If you have never heard of Rick Astley, it is because you were just born.
This song was a hit in 1987 and you can always hear it playing in Zouk's Mambo Jumbo nights. The internet phenomenon of "Rickrolling" gains its name from Astley. The phrase is used when someone is tricked into clicking on a video link, thinking it to be something they expect, and instead the video is a music video of one of Astley's songs (most commonly of "Never Gonna Give You Up"). Although the preface said, "Here's a song by a gay guy", Astley has a girlfriend and a daughter. Check out the MJ moves at 0:37 of the clip!
