You all have heard about Rick-rolling, right? That prank where you send a disguised hyperlink to a friend or coworker under the guise that it’s something important only to treat them, instead, to the dulcet tones of Rick Astley?

And the worst part? After a while, “Friday” starts to get, well, kind of catchy.
