A “rick roll phone number” is a telephone number that, when called, automatically plays the music video for Rick Astley’s 1987 hit song “Never Gonna Give You Up”. The number has become a popular way to prank someone, especially via text message or social media.
Rick roll phone numbers have become increasingly common in recent years due to the rise of social media and the popularity of Rickrolling, an internet meme that involves tricking someone into clicking on a link to the “Never Gonna Give You Up” music video. Rick roll phone numbers are often used as a way to prank someone who is not expecting it, or as a way to spread the Rickrolling meme to new people.
