Instead of a performance by the characters of “Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends,” onlookers were treated to a rendition of “Never Gonna Give You Up” by singer Rick Astley.
The switch happened on Thursday morning, during the annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. The puppets on the float featuring the Cartoon Network show began to sing 1970s hit and TV theme song “Best Friend,” but stopped abruptly, revealing Astley, himself, dancing and singing to his signature tune.

-2 points for Rick Astley's obvious lip-syncing.
that should be an epic crime for too much lulz
He lip-synced the entire thing, and it wasn't a good rick roll at all, there was no element of surprise. The Tv totally announced that he was performing, personally I feel they ruined rick rolling entirely.
