Incoming phone calls are a big part of your business (if you work with us, anyway). But some calls are really annoying – we’re thinking of those that scam, spam and phish. To help you combat these forces of telephone evil, we present the Rickroll extension.

Here’s how the Rickroll extension will work: You can transfer any unwanted call to extension 5555. There, the caller will listen to an endless loop of Rick Astley’s 1987 hit song Never Gonna Give You Up. Astley’s tune has the interesting combo of reaching Number One in the world, and being named to VH1’s list of the 50 Most Awesomely Bad Songs … Ever. Whether your caller likes the song or not, it’ll be in that person’s head ALL DAY.

(If this topic is new to you, here’s a link to the Wikipedia page on Rickrolling.)

Also, to help you avoid these miserable jerks for eternity, you can blacklist the calls by dialing *32 immediately after transferring to x5555. Bye, Felicia!

Please contact us if you’d like more information about the Rickroll extension. If you can’t remember Never Gonna Give You Up – which we can’t imagine would be the case – the lyrics and video are below.

We’re no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I
A full commitment’s what I’m thinking of
You wouldn’t get this from any other guy

I just wanna tell you how I’m feeling
Gotta make you understand

Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

We’ve known each other for so long
Your heart’s been aching but you’re too shy to say it
Inside we both know what’s been going on
We know the game and we’re gonna play it

And if you ask me how I’m feeling
Don’t tell me you’re too blind to see

Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

Never gonna give, never gonna give
(Give you up)
(Ooh) Never gonna give, never gonna give
(Give you up)

We’ve known each other for so long
Your heart’s been aching but you’re too shy to say it
Inside we both know what’s been going on
We know the game and we’re gonna play it

I just wanna tell you how I’m feeling
Gotta make you understand

Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
