New York, July 31 (ANI): The White House is said to have "rickrolled" one of its Twitter followers who complained about a correspondence briefing being too boring.
"@wiggsd Sorry to hear that. Fiscal policy is important, but can be dry sometimes. Here's something more fun: tinyurl.com/y8ufsnp #WHChat," the New York Daily News quoted the White House tweet as saying.
The link led to a YouTube clip of Rick Astley's 1987 hit single, 'Never Gonna Give You Up'.
It was a classic "rickroll", a meme where someone provides a supposedly relevant web link that in fact links to the awesomely cheesy dance-pop jam.
According to Know Your Meme, rickrolling may trace its origins to mid-2007 when someone posted the Astley clip on the imageboard 4chan under what appeared be a sneak preview of the hotly anticipated video game, 'Grand Theft Auto IV'. (ANI)
