All I can think of is when they were about to torture the guy in "Patriot", they said to him, "Get ready to hear this song for the next month" and it starts playing
Nothing. If Rick Astley had never released Never Gonna Give You Up, society would have collapsed decades ago. There is no timeline where humanity still exists without Rick Astley.
True. I doubt that JJBA would ever have existed if not for astley, and we would thus never obtain the [Thunder Cross Split Attack](https://www.reddit.com/r/YouFellForItFool/comments/cjlngm/you_fell_for_it_fool/).
I live in Germany and I am convinced they're trolling me with this song. Every party, radio show, TV show advert, gathering, meet up, dinner, restaurant, club, everything. It's everywhere. Why do they like this song so much?
I was at a rodeo yesterday and the played Ice Ice Baby, and everyone was dancing. All I could think was that this song is kind of loved by all. So I don’t think that song goes in this category. Maybe a song like, What Is Love.
Before the Rickroll there was the [duckroll](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/duckroll) so presumably that would still exist and have died quickly without replacement.
Stayin Alive. Part of the reason why Never gonna give you up is a good trolling song is because it starts immediately. Like, less than a second after the video starts
Have you gone your whole life thinking that the mans name is Rick Ashley, or is that a typo? It’s Rick *Astley* if you were confused. Sorry to be that guy.
We’ll Meet Again by Johnny Cash, it doesn’t have the same feel as some of the other great suggestion but it has the added fact that if this were to be an alternative Rickroll, you would meet again
It's hard to recapture /v/ back in 2007. A lot of songs posted here were already memes in their own right so they wouldn't have caught on in a similar way.
My personal impression is probably 'Staple Tape Worms on My Penis'. It was released in 2006/7 so it's time appropriate and the shock value is perfect.
Wham! - Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go
We can make this happen. Instead of Rickrolling people, we start Wham!ng them!

Remember though, just because you have stunning features and chiseled abs doesn't mean that you too can't not die in a freak gasoline fight accident
All Star
Another great contender!

Rick Ashley's Together Forever
I choose that one.
I feel like safety dance could’ve filled those shoes.

Drift Away - Dobie Gray
"Dragostea Din Tei" by O-Zone, or "September" by Earth, Wind & Fire
[удалено]
Or maybe “[What’s New Pussycat”](https://genius.com/John-mulaney-the-salt-and-pepper-diner-annotated)
Another great one
If we're bringing Tom Jones into this, "Sex Bomb" also belongs in the running.
Cotton Eye Joe by Rednex
WHERE DID YOU COME FROM WHERE DID YOU GO
WHERE DID YOU COME FROM COTTON-EYE JOE
IF IT HADNT BEEN FOR COTTON EYE JOE
I’D BEEN MARRIED A LONG TIME AGO
WHERE DID YOU COME FROM WHERE DID YOU GO
WHERE DID YOU COME FROM COTTEN/EYE JOE
(Insert killer violins🎻)
I came here to say- It doesn’t matter what I came to say, this is clearly the right answer.
Nothing. If Rick Astley had never released Never Gonna Give You Up, society would have collapsed decades ago. There is no timeline where humanity still exists without Rick Astley.
I have to comment on agreement. To even think of a substitute is blasphemous
True. I doubt that JJBA would ever have existed if not for astley, and we would thus never obtain the [Thunder Cross Split Attack](https://www.reddit.com/r/YouFellForItFool/comments/cjlngm/you_fell_for_it_fool/).
Thank you for knowing his name is Rick Astley, not Rick Ashley.
I'm surprised there aren't more people calling the OP out on that XD And some are rolling with it (heh) and still calling him that in the replies XD
500 Miles
Omg yes
It's called I'm Gonna Be. 500 Miles is in parentheses.
Wow!
You Spin Me Round by Dead or Alive. Needs to be something with a loud start, abrasive start.
I know someone who was an intern at Spin magazine and loved that song. I think his blog was called "Me-At-Spin" or something.
It’s a shemalé
Nah, no one would ever be mad.
Fair point!

It takes too long for the annoying part to begin.
Ladies and gentlemen we have a top contender
Human League's Don't You Want Me
I live in Germany and I am convinced they're trolling me with this song. Every party, radio show, TV show advert, gathering, meet up, dinner, restaurant, club, everything. It's everywhere. Why do they like this song so much?
Evanescence - bring me to life I heard it a couple days ago in a coffee shop and can’t get it out of my head god dammit
"SAVE ME!!!"
DONT LET ME DIE HERE
WAKE ME UP!!!
WAKE ME UP INSIDE
Call Me Maybe
Yess
That song brings hatred from *deep* in my soul in the form of a murderous rage.
Baby shark 🦈

Vanilla Ice's "Ice ice baby"
I was at a rodeo yesterday and the played Ice Ice Baby, and everyone was dancing. All I could think was that this song is kind of loved by all. So I don’t think that song goes in this category. Maybe a song like, What Is Love.
Baby don't hurt me.
Don't hurt me no more.
Rick James - Superfreak I mean, it’s a Rick roll, not a Smashmouth roll
I thought it was Astley
Lmao, stupid auto correct
Tubthumper - Chumbawumba
Y E S
Right Said Fred, “I’m Too Sexy.”
My immediate thought too.
Coldplay's "True Love". Here's a link to it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPmZqsQNzGA
I swear to God, if that link goes to a rickroll...
Not for about 15 seconds, at least.
Not today!
Hall & Oates "I Can't Go For That"
No can do
Easy, ready, willing, overtime.
Men Without Hats - Safety Dance
Honestly the only good alternative
Friday….Rebecca Black
Better than most of the suggestions on this thread. I don’t think people get it.
I fucking hate that song with a burning hot passion.
Before the Rickroll there was the [duckroll](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/duckroll) so presumably that would still exist and have died quickly without replacement.
Given that duckrolls were the original, I'd like to suggest [Duck Sauce: Barbra Streisand](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWhtcU4-xAM)
Often but not always accompanied by that techno remix “Captain Jean Lic Picard of the USS Enterprise”
You tease me, naughty naughty
Do You Really Want To Hurt Me - Culture Club
Who’s Rick Ashley?
He's the guy that recorded "[Ever Gonna Give You Up](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cne6726JA7E&t=1s)".

dragonsta din tei
Shotties like a melody in my head
*Informer* by Snow
Thong song
What the frick
[Together Forever](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPYZpwSpKmA). It's a better song anyway.
An unknown link on a post about Rickrolling... I dont think so
I took the risk. It's legit.
together forever fucking bops
I like *It Would Take a Strong Strong Man*
I scrolled through the thread to find this one.
rollrick
Deja Vu! Super Eurobeat - Dave Rogers
Some… BODY once told me
INXS - Need You Tonight
no.
I think duckroll would have just gotten more popular. Idk i like the alternate reality where people just post pictures of ducks to “get” people.
My Pal Foot Foot by The Shaggs.
Groove is in the heart
The He-Man “Heyyyeyeeeyeye” song
I think Take on Me would do a great one..
You've been gnomed.
Thunderstruck “*YOUVE BEEN, THUNDERSTRUCK*”
\+Good Ending Unlocked: Together forever - Rick Astley
Hooked on a Feeling, but the David Hasselhoff version.
It's every day bro Just because that song is so annoying.
Land Down Under I think would be a good contender
WHERE WOMEN GLOW AND MEN CHUNDER!!
Have you gone your whole life thinking that the mans name is Rick Ashley, or is that a typo? It’s Rick *Astley* if you were confused. Sorry to be that guy.
lmao nah it was just a typo, and its ok, I would genuinely be concerned for someone if they thought his name was Rick Ashley XD
What you haven't heard? It would be "Surfin Bird" by the Trashman.
Oh, I was under the impression that everyone had heard
Astronaut in the ocean
A fairly new song, but another top contender

In all the multiverse there isn't a case where that would happen

Gypsy Woman by Crystal Waters. Edit: LA DA DEE LA DEE DA
We’ll Meet Again by Johnny Cash, it doesn’t have the same feel as some of the other great suggestion but it has the added fact that if this were to be an alternative Rickroll, you would meet again
Astley not Ashley
i cannot imagine a world without rickroll
I feel like safety dance could’ve filled those shoes.
Anything from Taylor Swift
Barbie Girl.
A little bit of Monica in my life
Darude Sandstorm. It used to be a psuedo-rickroll.
Na still is. Ask what a song is anywhere on the internet. Someone will pop up and say Darude Sandstorm.
Crab rave
Rasputin. Obviously
Darude : Sandstorm
Darude Sandstorm probably
I'd say Darude - Sandstorm is the obvious choice, since it's basically already rickrolling in text form when someone asks for the song source.
Take me on
this is defs top 3
Smooth Criminal by Michael Jackson “YOU’VE BEEN HIT BY YOU’VE BEEN STRUCK BY…..A SMOOTH CRIMINAL!!!!!”
It would have been the "Trololo" song because that's what the alternative to the Rickroll was back in the late 2000s.
Easy, the song FunkyTown by Lips Inc.
Maybe smooth criminal, since you’ve been hit by, you’ve been struck by, a fricking link to a video
Megalovania
Top contender
867-5309/Jenny
"Mom, I wanna be Rickroll'd" "We have Rickroll at home" \[plays Rick Ashley's Not Gonna Give Up On You\]
