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?

Rick Astley is never gonna give up

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.

Ai will rick roll you with youtube links sometimes. The meme has transcended humans.

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

Will people in the future hide Baby Shark links?

Be the change you want to see in the world.
