TIFU by not believing my wife doesn't know meme culture

I travel for work. It's pretty sweet because that's the only time that I work, the rest of the time I'm home doing whatever I want to do.

Nonetheless, my wife and are one of those cute couples that make you sick. Whenever I'm gone for work (or if she's gone for more than a day or two visiting her sister or something) we text and talk every day. We sometimes also - importantly, for the matter at hand - send each other love songs and such because it's less awkward than saying "I love and miss you" over and over.

I was at home surfing videos and stumbled across a band I'd never heard of: Durry, which has a really fun song called "TKO". I instantly sent a link to my wife.

Then she walked through the front door. Mind you, she had only been at the store.

So I called out from the living room, "Never mind that text, come check this out!" So she does, and we squee a little. The she says, "okay, I got one for you..."

DA dou...DAdadoudou DAdadoudou

"...Why would you do this to me."

She laughs, "I know, it's an older song..."

"I've been nothing but good to you"

She rolls her eyes, and in a distressed voice says, "Fine, you don't like the song, it's okay..."

"..............Wait, what's happening right now"

"What is happening right now, why are you being weird"

"Do you...no. No way. You're not seriously going to tell me you don't know what a Rick Roll is."

My wife is Korean and was partially raised in Guam. English is technically her second language but she speaks English so well that everyone thinks she's from Southern California. She's been in this country for almost THIRTY years. She spends a LOT of time on social media, though mostly TikTok and Facebook.

And she says to me, she says, "...a what?"

Y'ALL.

Pre-edit so I don't have to clear it up in the comments: The entire exchange was playful except when it started to look like her feelings were actually about to be hurt.

I showed her the wikipedia entry, because there is one, because that's how well-known it is, and then we had a good chuckle and settled in to watch The Brothers Sun while locked and loaded in the cuddle position on the couch. All is well, this is a TIFU post that is a bit light on the "F".

TL;DR: My wife rick-rolled me with love and earnestness and I thought she was fucking with me.
