Foo Fighters Try A Live 'Rickroll'

(SOUNDBITE OF RICK ASTLEY'S "NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP")

DAVID GREENE, HOST:

Good morning. I'm David Greene. Yeah, you can hate me for this. I'm guessing you have been Rickrolled. That's when someone fools you into clicking on a certain '80s ear worm.

THE FOO FIGHTERS: (Playing music).

GREENE: The audience had to know it was coming.
