I could have announced that today there would be some awesome secret song of the day, but rather than announcing what it was, I’d make you click a link to a YouTube video, and ultimately you’d be Rickrolled, but I thought that wouldn’t quite work for my playlist format for my April Mix. Instead, I decided to present an additional playlist celebrating the whimsical day that is April Fools. I chose meme-able songs, some quirky tunes, and a few songs about being hurt by lying. I realized when I was preparing this list that I often take my playlist quite seriously and my song choice leaves little room for comedy. So today, let’s have a light-hearted day. Enjoy this kitsch offering a happy April Fools!

1. “Never Gonna Give You Up” by Rick Astley, today’s song.
