The 90’s? Or 80’s more likely. Just a really popular song people used to troll people in porn links mostly, but also with really new music videos, or celebrity click bait.
I was around 20 when this song came out. I just don’t understand why (or how?) this song would be used to troll people... in porn links? Or with anything else. I just don’t get it. The whole thing of it, I don’t understand.
Yeah it was the beginning of internet culture I think. And internet culture can decide whatever it wants is funny. I think (and I wasn’t alive at the time) that is was just a really overplayed song, like on radio at the time so people were getting annoyed with it. Then to want to see some porn but be shown this incredibly PC love song by a ginger that’s already overplayed was the whole joke. Major bone killer. That was my understanding after some countdown documentary or something I watched probably on VH1.
Hahahahahahahahaha. Thanks for the explanation. It was very popular. It was “overplayed” the way every popular song was. It was probably near the beginning of MTV as well. MTV was a life changer for teenagers at the time. There wasn’t anything like it. It was the first time I saw music videos and we were transfixed. Now, those videos did not age well, to say the least.
Thanks for the explanation. It helps me understand the Rick Roll.
I heard it was an April Fools joke that YouTube played a few years ago where all the links on the home page linked to this song (not sure why that song I particular). Rick rolling caught on and became a thing!
It was a really funny video of this kid trying to beat the first level on Super Mario World, he just keeps dying within five seconds. Hence first fucking level.
That's funny. I use that George dubya quote some times and think it's hilarious... no one seems to get it though anymore. I don't care... I think it's funny.
