Slopfest #81 · 2007 · Vienna
Never Gonna Give You Up
The internet started tricking people into a 1987 music video. We played it in our cloakroom in 1987.

What happened
Every link on the festival website led to the same music video, including the ticket shop, so the only guests were people who bought tickets in person or gave up and came anyway. The committee notes that it had been playing the song in the cloakroom since 1987, twenty years ahead of the internet, and would like this recorded.
Elsewhere in 2007
Rickrolling, a bait-and-switch prank linking to Rick Astley's 1987 video 'Never Gonna Give You Up', spreads online.
