The New York Mets have fallen victim to "Rickrolling", a web prank involving 1980s pop star Rick Astley.
For months, people have been tricked into clicking on a weblink that plays the video of Astley's 1987 hit, Never Gonna Give You Up.
And millions of fans have been caught up.
Channel 4 News went to meet the man who produced the song, to see what he made of the fuss.
