Today, I realized that what I thought for years was my country's National Anthem, is actually the theme song of a TV show. FML

Today, I was singing the National Anthem at a school game and totally forgot the words. So I kept singing the same two lines over and over. FML
Today, I joined a conversation about a TV show at work, agreeing enthusiastically. After a few minutes, I realized they were talking about a completely different show with a similar name. I nodded along, trapped, hoping no one asked questions. FML
Today, I realized I've been confusing scenes from The Lord of the Rings with American history. FML
Today, I realized that I’ve been using the same alarm clock ringtone for so long that I now associate it with pure dread, even when I hear it being used in movies. FML
Today, at work, I had received a lot of phone calls. I thought maybe it was a scammer line because I never receive calls. Turns out my phone number is the same as a character's number in a TV show. 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, after recently complaining that the reality show "The Great Norway Adventure" portrays us as a country of nationalistic rednecks, I saw my drunk dad chasing my uncle on a tractor while bellowing the national anthem at the top of his lungs. FML
Today, I discovered that one of my favourite, relatable sad songs is actually a song about gay sex. FML
Today, I binge-watched an entire season of a TV show in one sitting and now I'm not sure what day it is. FML
Today, I've made it clear to my roommate that I go to the bed at the same time every night, and that I need absolute peace and quiet from that point onward. Apparently, he misheard it as, "Watch American Dad until midnight, and possibly beyond." That theme song is gonna make me go nuts. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Hangin' out. Down the street. The same old thing. We did last week. . . Sure it's in Sweden, but there's a chance.

Guys, I am almost 100% certain that the OP will not follow up on this FML. Why? Coincidence? I THINK NOT! He most likely stole it, making it not true and thus he can't really follow up on it. The reason I'm saying this is because I posted the exactly same FML (Which I believe did not go through), using the same wording and all since I thought it'll be a funny anecdote to share. Obviously OP wanted to steal it for no apparent reason (Not sure as to why he would want to make up such a lie, however) and since I can't report this whatsoever, I'm here to explain MY FML. My family is from Taiwan but I was born in New Zealand and rarely visited. We did, however, have the Taiwanese satellite installed on our TV and every morning I would watch the shows on a channel called "Mingshi" or literally translating "People's media". Since I lived in New Zealand, there was usually a 4 or 5 hour time difference between NZ time and Taiwan time. For example, if I woke up at 8am and turned on the TV in New Zealand, it would be around 3am~4am in Taiwan, and so no shows would be playing but instead a song would repeat with a still image until they do. The song that they played was in Taiwanese, and considering the fact that I was a 5 year old back then that had little experience hearing Taiwanese (since I was learning Mandarin and English), I didn't really understand the song. I faintly remember the first few lines and the majestic melody of the song, the lines going something like "The colourful world, words of wisdom, etc..." and I always thought it was the Taiwanese National Anthem. Obviously it wasn't when I asked my mother, but she informed me that Taiwan had a lot of "National Songs", such as the National Anthem and the "Flag" song (It's hard to understand, I know!) So yeah...I thought that particular channel's repeating song was my country's National Anthem @@ Thanks to all those who read the massive all of text above^^ and hope you understand that the OP most likely, or rather must've, taken it from a submitted FML *cough* I'll leave you all with that message. Thanks!
