The next Rick Roll?

I was listening to the Stuff You Should Know Podcast, and one of the hosts mentioned that he thought the next Rick Roll should be Dionne Warwick's Do You Know the Way to San Jose, which struck me as hilarious.
A few days letter I was driving to work with my iPod plugged into my car stereo and the music on shuffle and up came the echo-y "YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN GONE. KNOWING HOW I MADE YOU FEEL!" of Steve Perry's Oh Sherrie which I thought would make for an awesome Rick Roll.

I know Rick Rolling is passe, but just for fun, what would make a great 'Rick Roll' type song? And better yet, should we, the Trek BBS Army, try to start one?
 
The Rick Roll ascended to Heaven when Cartoon Network and Rick himself Rickrolled us during the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.

This is the closest we'll ever get to lulz Rick gave us.

"Oh Sherrie"... wow... love that song... thanks for reminding me of it; I'll have to start listening to it again!

As for the next Rick Roll... dunno, I see no reason why "never gonna give you up" can't neither "let us down" nor "hurt us" for years to come. After all, it wasn't just the song, it was pranking people with the song, and that made Rick Rolling somewhat unique. Simply repeating the gag with a different song wouldn't have the same impact.
