Today, I sang my signature tune at a karaoke bar - What A Wonderful World - and I thought I sounded my best yet. After my performance, I went outside to get some air. Then, I got assaulted in the parking lot and ended up going to the hospital. What a wonderful world indeed. FML

Today, I was singing while driving through the car park. I blacked out trying to hit a high note, and ended up bashing into another car. FML

Karaoke night

Today, I went to a karaoke bar that my girlfriend works at. I'm a halfway decent singer, so I picked out a song we both liked and decided to give it a go. Halfway through the song I sneezed, tripped, fell off the stage and knocked myself out in front of my girlfriend and fifty bar patrons. FML

Today, I went to a karaoke bar for the first time. I'd never sung in front of others, but I gave it a try. I was accused of being way too drunk and was asked to leave. I didn't get kicked out in the end, but I was told that my singing voice sounds like a dying goat. FML

Today, to help me get over my crippling social anxiety, my therapist encouraged me to sing in front of a crowd, since I actually have a fine singing voice. I ended up fainting onstage, mid-song. FML

Today, for karaoke, I sang American Woman by Lenny Kravitz. The entire audience cracked up laughing and at least three people pulled out their cell phones to record my performance. At the end, the DJ said, "Looks like someone had too much tonight." I was completely sober. FML

Do not attempt this at home

Today, I took part in a karaoke night, and confidently chose "Man in The Mirror" by Michael Jackson, but forgot that the song has a key change. My attempt to hit the high note sounded like a cat being stepped on. I didn't survive the embarrassment. FML

Today, I attended a musical. A new song was played, and I thought I'd heard it before because it sounded strangely familiar. I sang along quietly as the song progressed, positive I knew it. Anticipating the next chorus, I belted out the lyrics with all my heart. It was instrumental. FML

Today, I worked up the courage to sing at an open mic night. I lost my cool halfway through because all I could hear was laughter. FML

Today, I was at a local talent show and during a piano performance I had to go to the bathroom. I sang along in the bathroom but was unaware how loud I was until I walked out and everyone started applauding me while the pianist was still playing. FML

Today, I went to see one of my favorite bands. When they started playing my favorite song I whipped out my video camera and sang along. As I was reviewing the video later, I realized that I couldn't even hear the band over my horrible singing. FML

Wow. The Karaoke critics by you are a lot harsher than any karaoke bar I have ever been to. Usually they just heckle you if your bad.

#2, #6, You DO know that if you just shrug everything off as its life, and 'you would've been worse off back then', there would be NO FMLs? And investigations arent always helpful, sometimes the cops accuse you of lying, even if you have the bruises/cuts/wounds to prove you were attacked

This is sort of amusing, but also sort of lame. I realize you were trying to be clever, but just being assaulted is enough for an FML.

Karaoke is not analogous to bar/street fights. Slap fights, maybe. I doubt the two things were related, in which case, it was unnecessary to tell us how well you sang. Nice attention grabber, though; I see you're good at that, too.

I think they were just pointing out the irony in the fact that they just sang a song about how wonderful everything was and then got mugged (not a wonderful experience).

only sad people do karaoke. only sad idiotic people do it when they can't sing. YDI

I'm giving you a YDI just because the truth is that nobody at karaoke wants to hear anybody sing What a Wonderful World. They're just being nice to you. On that note, Paradise by the Dashboard light is unwanted as well.

What, people can't have fun singing karaoke? Everyone saying YDI are asses. It's not like you never sang karaoke. It's for fun. OP, I hope you get well soon. Though they probably weren't beating you up for singing.

awe that sucks. yeah, i'm going to go ahead and apologize for the 741 douches who decided to say YDI because i'm pretty sure no one deserves to get assaulted in a parking lot for no reason, okay.
