Need help rick rolling a savvy girl.

So, I've been trying to rick roll this girl I've met in my university bio lab. We've become pretty good friends over the last couple weeks, and I want to play a joke on her. She knows what a rick roll is, and is pretty internet savvy.

I've tried to trick her on a number of occasions, but she always knows not to trust me with any links. It would make my day to con her into clicking a rick roll link. I'm determined.

So... I've devised a plan:
-Spoof our lab TA's email address
-Send her an email saying something about "I think you'd be interested in this scientific journal article, Jane...."
-Insert rick roll link
-???
-Profit!

Now, the problem: I need a respectable-looking, inconspicuous website address. No tinyurl links will do. She'll know immediately.

Any ideas?

Update: Email has been sent... now I wait for the response.

Content of the email:
Hey guys,

Please ensure you read this email, as it pertains to your upcoming lab exam. Barbara, the lab co-ordinator, has asked me to pass this along to students in my lab. In our labs we covered the basic material for the Biology course, but there are a few key subjects that some TA's felt we didn't emphasize enough. These will be important to the lab exam, so we urge you to revise this material. The following page, produced by U of P is fairly comprehensive:

Thanks,
Matt

Update 2: Success. She fell for it. Hilarity ensued.
 
Find an unregistered domain name that sounds legitimate, register it, and have any traffic to that forwarded to the rick roll youtube video (preferably with the Javascript lyrics that you can't close out of).

There should be plenty of domains available... just a quick review shows "sciencereview.org" and "scienceweekly.net" are available.

EDIT: I would also be careful about forging an email from your TA's e-mail adress. Even in jest, if she or someone else wanted to be a prick about it could really bite you in the rear. Better to just send an e-mail from YOUR new domain saying something along the lines of "Your friend John (<john@myuniversity.edu) thought you might be interested in a research article on kinetic propulsion...", etc.
 
Do it like this:

This is definitely NOT a RickRoll link
It's practically guaranteed to work for you.



Do you have access to a website of your own by chance? If so, you could always embed a Youtube video inside a page there.

This is in a Bio Lab? If they have a parrot there somewhere, train it to sing the song.
That would just be awesome anyway, a parrot that would Rickroll anyone who walked by.

100% pure win.

 
Make a website on your university hosting and embed a rickroll video.

bio.college.edu/~Stew/bio1302/lab7.html

That would trick most people.

...and violate your college's honor/ethics code. Yea, that's totally worth it.

I would pay money to see a rick rolling parrot.
 
It looks like you're left with one solution: Learn the song and sing it to her yourself.



Or, set it to be your ringtone on your cellphone. Any time it goes off, you Rickroll everyone within earshot.
 
I think a proper rick roll requires the receiver to take some action in order to receive the rick roll.
