There was a great example of Rickrolling in 2008 during the Macy's
Thanksgiving Day Parade. The float for the excellent show Foster's Home for
Imaginary Friends was rolling into view, when all of a sudden the music
changed to Astley's song and Rick Astley himself walked out onto the float
and performed (or lip-synced) his song. It was hilarious.
