Rickrolling lyrics were mined several times into the blockchain.
The first currently known instance is as a link right during the prayer wars on block 142573 (2011-08-25) as the miner message:

which redirects to www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGDuExhS6Nw&blockchain

    The "Address" you see above is more than a bitcoin address? For example, the web address to this
    
    reddit thread is: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/3cdxep/reddit_on_the_blockchain_test/
    
    Which converts to the bitcoin address of:
    12uPLj6PSz6ULnZi1jXo7Ch1Je1SuqxRcE
    
    How? Because any text, like a web address, can be converted into a bitcoin address.

Cool data embedded in the Bitcoin blockchain / Porn Updated +Created
For now we are going to keep this site porn-free and only link to prevent bad things from happening, as it might violate GitHub porn policy depending on how it is hosted, and Google may dislike it. Video "What is more obscene: sex or war? scene from The People vs. Larry Flynt".
If illegal porn were to ever be found, we would be unable to acknowledge that, and would just have to silently remove it. Of course, the reproducible nature of Bitcoin Inscription Indexer means that anyone who regenerates the data would immediately see such entries in the diff.
Another issue is that it can be quite hard to determine if porn is legal or illegal, e.g. it can be hard to distinguish legal an illegal ages or revenge vs consensual porn, especially at the low resolutions that you may expect to find embedded in the blockchain. We are generally going to be quite strict about this, and in case of uncertainty on porn legality we will censor first.
OK the list:
