    Do you think in 20-30 years time, you can do the same with a 2010s song lyric, with the answer being Baby Shark? Or is Rick Astely just too famous/infamous to be replaced?

      I didn’t think any will work.

      Rickroll has been a thing for what 20 years? It’s not about just being catchy. It came about in a time when ‘going viral’ still meant something. Early Internet culture spread it everywhere. I remember an addon in WoW that was a full screen Rickroll. People everywhere in various forums were tricking folks. So many people have grown up with it.

      I can’t think of lyrics iconic enough to do that for from the 2000s/2010s. Maybe Oops I did it again?
