Rickrolling began as an internet meme in 2007, when users on forums and early YouTube replaced expected links with Rick Astley's 1987 hit Never Gonna Give You Up. The prank grew from a variation on duckrolling and spread through forums, games and bait headlines, becoming one of the most durable jokes online. Astley's earnest delivery and the song's catchy chorus made the switch instantly obvious yet hard to resent. Nearly two decades later, creators still use short rick roll clips like this one for quick, recognisable pranks.

Master of Goon 4 is a short rick roll meme sound that plays the Never Gonna Give You Up hook to prank friends in chats, videos and streams online.
This four second clip is a classic rick roll bait and switch built around the instantly recognisable opening hook of Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You Up. Instead of whatever was promised, listeners get the bright pop chorus and Astley's smooth baritone promising never to give you up. The joke lands because the song is so familiar that recognition hits in the first second. Used well, it feels playful rather than mean, turning a normal link, reveal or transition into a shared groan, a laugh and an eye roll from everyone who fell for it again.
