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

Today, I was at a karaoke bar. After a few drinks, I gave it a go. Halfway through “Total Eclipse of the Heart” I got so into it, I knocked over the mic stand. The mic flew off, hit the DJ, who then hit the emergency stop button, cutting off the music. I froze as the bar erupted into laughter. I did get a free Coke for my “performance,” which was something.

Karaoke night

By helluvasinger - 12/11/2009 11:00 - South Africa

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, my friend and I went to a club. She said I look hilarious when I dance drunk. I was completely sober. 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

Excuses, excuses

By Anonymous - 07/05/2024 06:00 - United Kingdom - Hull

Today, I arse-dialled my ex while drunkenly singing karaoke at a bar. She picked up just in time to hear me belting out a heartfelt rendition of "I Will Survive." I don't think she bought my "pocket dial" excuse. FML

Today, I was singing and playing keyboards with my band on stage at a club. A drunken chick from the crowd tried to climb up onto the stage in her heels, fell, and grabbed the back of my mic stand to catch herself. And busted me in the mouth with my own microphone. Then she requested a song. FML

Belter

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 walked into work after being completly wasted last night. I was sitting in a meeting when all of a sudden the presenter had gotten an e-mail saying "crazy girl dances on tables at local bar". So obviously everyone wanted to watch it. That crazy girl was me. FML

Today, I finally felt brave enough to sing karaoke in public. I was halfway through the song when the restaurant’s power went out, leaving me singing my heart out in the dark. FML

this is why I listen to heavy metal... nobody else who listens to it gets pissed if I get a song wrong, and, even better, people don't feel the need to do covers, cause it's just lame and unoriginal, cause nobody wants to listen to shit twice

...and you probably think the Trivium or Slipknot you listen to constitutes metal. There are some amazing metal covers out there (and, if you do a cover right you make it more interesting): Nevermore's version of Simon and Garfunkel's "Sound of Silence" Blind Guardian's rendition of "Surfin USA" Dream Theater's covers (available only in bootleg) of the entire albums Master of Puppets and Number of the Beast Apocalyptica's cover of Metallica's "Creeping Death" If I had to guess I'd say you've never heard of any of those four bands...besides maybe Apocalyptica, I heard they got super shitty and poppy in the last couple years.

Dream Theater also does a wicked Queen cover of 3 songs, "Tenement Funster, Flick of the Wrist and Lilly of the Valley" and a great Rainbow cover, the song Stargazer. But anyways, that sucks about the Karaokee bar, maybe you'll think twice next time

Well, I guess everybody on fmylife is a grammar or history teacher. Last time I checked, people spelled shit like ThIs and dis and th1s and so on and so forth. Also, whether he was specific about whether it was Lenny Kravitz or The Guess Who, who gives a flying ****? Quit being a douchebag.
