Karaoke in the Philippines
This was is currently the most popular article on NYTimes.com: Sinatra Strong Often Strikes Deadly Chord. Let this serve as a public service announcement: if you’re in the Philippines, don’t sing Sinatra’s “My Way.” It could turn deadly if someone is violent and ready. (I think that rhyme is from a Jin The MC song…don’t know if they have that at karaoke.) This propensity for violence has caused some karaoke bars to remove the song from their playlist.
I don’t know; I’ve always thought of karaoke as being a peaceful activity. Evidently it’s serious business in some parts of the world.
