ha ha "Rickrolled in 1988"! In all seriousness, that was actually one of my favorite songs back then, and to see the rickroll phenomena (spelling) the past few years...is...weird, because this video and song actually holds alot of good memories for me, heh

Even George Harrison fell prey to the disease known as 80's music. The true beginning of the end for good music. Consider it the bad joke told by a drunk uncle at the funeral of a beloved family member.

The 90's were the long eulogies, and the 00's were the sudden rainstorm that sneaks up as the coffin is being lowered down into the ground.

This decade is the awful funeral home food that gets served after the wet, annoyed, and still bitterly sad mourners leave the cemetery.
