I was actually there at the parade today (benefits of livin' in the Big Apple) and was dying of anticipation for the Foster's float. When it finally came and Bloo started singing, I breathed a sigh of relief and started to lightly bounce side to side to the song.
But when I heard the first notes of 'Never Gonna Give You Up' and saw Rick Astley himself come out, I bursted into LOUD laughter - so loud that the people all around me turned and gave me a bit of a dirty look. Tsch, screw them! I started dancing to the song, because I absolutely ADORE it. After that, I could hardly concentrate on the rest of the parade, except when Santa came out, of course
.
11/27/08 - The day Foster's and Rick Astley rickroll'd AMERICA. EPIC WIN.
I honestly don't understand why some of you were disappointed, frustrated, or angered by the rickroll. Not only did I think it was awesome, I found it to be the highlight of the parade. But I guess that's just me.
