Karaoke Rage

This makes me a little scared. Considering how much I karaoke, I'm drastically increasing my chances of being stabbed.
A Malaysian karaoke enthusiast hogged the microphone for so long that people set upon him and stabbed him to death.

Karaoke rage is not unheard of in Asia. There have been several reported cases of singers being assaulted, shot or stabbed mid-performance, usually over how songs are sung. Frank Sinatra's My Way has reportedly generated such outbursts of hostility that some bars in the Philippines now no longer offer it on the karaoke menu. In Thailand this year, a gunman shot eight people dead after tiring of their endless renditions of a John Denver tune.
