My way shootings!

[Sim11UK]

Just heard on the radio, there is an increase in the number of shootings in the Philippines, of people singing 'My way' By Frank Sinatra at karaoke.

If they sing it badly, they are being shot! :omg:

They are having to remove it, from karaoke lists.

I told my wife this, who looked it up on Youtube & proceeded to sing it badly. :doh

...I told her to stop "singing", before someone pulled a trigger. :NoNo::yikes::D

In a recent survey "My Way" was the number 1 funeral song in the UK:omg:...naturally sung by friends and relatives AFTER what was hopefully a natural death :)
It's possible the Philippines invented karaoke, although I "performed" in Malaysia in 1978 (but not "My Way"):Erm:
Today's "Times" quotes a fatal stabbing in Malaysia 2 years ago after a singer refused to hand over the microphone, followed by a rampage leaving 8 people dead:yikes:
In Japan it was claimed that last year the owner of a karaoke bar in Tokyo was forced to listen to "My Way" for the 25,000th time :yikes:

I asked around and everyone seems to confirm this story..
Usually goes something like this..

"And now......The end is near.....and so I face......The final curtain"
(wait for it)
Kitchic...BOOM.

Thanks for confirming it Fred...I know I joked about it, but they were 'deadly' serious about it on the radio.

Too dangerous, with a load of gun toting drunks! :NoNo:

I guess I might have murderous intentions, if I had to listen to it that many times. :omg:

My Way is favourite and respected song ever by adult karaoke lovers in Pinas. Not good to other ears if you sung it out of tune. :BlueTeamEnforcer::BlueTeamEnforcer::NEW4::NEW4:
Very nice song to hear.:D
