'''Google Hammer''' was a [[shock site]] and malicious variant of [[Meatspin]] created in 2012.
Upon opening, the Flash content for [[Meatspin]] and its accompanying music begin autoplaying continuously in an endless loop. Simultaneously, a barrage of script-generated pop-ups appears on the screen, trapping the user and preventing them from closing the window. Because these sudden dialogue boxes are designed to display the song's lyrics, they are populated with lines from ''[[wikipedia:You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)|You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)]]'', presented as follows:
*''"Awww, don't leave yet! The fun has just begun!"''
*''"Sing along with me!"''
*''"You spin me right round, baby"''
*''"right round like a record, baby"''
*''"ONE MORE TIME"''
*''"THAT NEVER HURT DID IT"''
These dialogue messages originally came from ''Rickrolling.com'', which at one point was flagged as a malicious [[website]] and developed a poor reputation.<ref>web.archive.org/web/20071206080914/rickrolling.com/rickrolling.php</ref>
Another browser payload overloads [[wikipedia:Shockwave Flash|Shockwave Flash]] using a custom SWFObject script. This causes non-Internet Explorer browsers to crash, while [[wikipedia:Internet Explorer|Internet Explorer]] triggers dialog boxes, alters the window title upon exit, and shrinks the browser window to a quarter of its size in one of the four screen corners.
The title page for Google Hammer jokingly states that "''Marketing Information So Good It'll Spin Your Head Right Round.''".
A meta description accompanying the fake tagline also read:
"''Your resource for diving headfirst into internet marketing the right way. Once you experience Google Hammer, you'll wonder how you ever survived without it.''"
==Infoslash.net==
[[File:Google hammah.PNG|thumb|200px|The annoying lyric pop-ups found on Google Hammer's predecessor Infoslash.net]]
The source code for ''Google Hammer'' was largely taken from ''Infoslash.net'', which was a typosquatting site designed to mimic [[wikipedia:Slashdot|Slashdot]] through the clever wordplay of "Info Slash (dot) net."
Infoslash was significantly more popular than ''Google Hammer'', with mentions appearing in old discussion forums, [[Reddit]] and [[wikipedia:Facebook|Facebook]]. On March 10, 2009, the Steam group "Team Infoslash" listed the website as its official homepage.<ref>steamcommunity.com/groups/teaminfoslash</ref>

The same script featured on ''Infoslash.net'' is found on a Brazilian mirror site, ''top5.lupee.com.br:80/top.htm'', where the song lyrics are replaced with dialog box labels in Portuguese.
==Makemoniesonline.com==
Earlier, a variation of Infoslash appeared on a [[Meatspin]] mirror called Makemoniesonline, though it was entirely non-malicious. It is alleged that harmful applications could be downloaded onto their devices by the [[website]], but this claim was debunked. 
Parody lyrics referencing [[wikipedia:Rick Astley|Rick Astley]]'s "[[wikipedia:Never Gonna Give You Up|Never Gonna Give You Up]]" appear on the [[website]], accompanied by a sudden alert box reading "You've been Dick Rolled" as visitors browse. As noted by [[wikipedia:Urban Dictionary|Urban Dictionary]] user Spyker44, this message displays when the site is closed right after the [[animated]] image pops up.<ref>googlehammer.urbanup.com/4190950</ref> Additionally, phrases like "ONE MORE TIME" and "THAT NEVER HURT DID IT" were left as hardcoded syntax within Google Hammer's source code. The dialogue in the alert boxes from ''Rickrolling.com'' were replaced with an explicit copypasta version. Most notably, the chorus from the original song was modified to:
*"''NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU ANAL''"
*"''NEVER GONNA LET YOU SPIN ME''"
*"''NEVER GONNA RUN AROUND AND PEE ON YOU''"
*"''NEVER GONNA MAKE YOU MOAN''"
*"''NEVER GONNA SAY COMO YA!''"
*"''NEVER GONNA FUCK YOUR BUM AND HURT YOU''"
An early launch date of April 1, 2008, is believed for the site, as indicated by its early title page which once read "April Fools Bitches," and a sudden surge in popularity was experienced by Rick Astley's song on that exact same day. This spike was driven largely because the meme was used by YouTube for its April Fools' Day prank, while "Never Gonna Give You Up" was aggressively voted for by users across the web in a poll to become the New York Mets' official rally song.<ref>en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rickrolling</ref>
Although sometimes conflated with earlier browser-prank tools, the pop-up behavior and window-spam style of Makemoniesonline actually trace back to shock sites like Nobrain.dk which similarly inspired the content-replacement style used by Rickrolling.com.
