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 was at a friend's birthday party in a packed karaoke bar/restaurant and I drunkenly agreed to sing. I picked a song I thought I knew by heart, only to realize halfway through that the lyrics on the screen were not at all what I thought they were. My brain went for a smoke break or something, and I turned into a rambling mess. The crowd actually booed. FML

You'd think if you're in charge of singing the anthem you'd have brushed up on it first... However if you were just in the crowd no big deal.

I'm hoping OP is not silly enough to have not learnt the words if singing alone, otherwise should have just pretended to sing it!

Which two lines? Curiosity... It may kill me one day, but I must know.

Oh say can you, um, uh aw ****! Not again!

Wow...though a lot of fellow Aussies don't know the 2nd verse of our anthem simply cos it isn't sung much

Damn, well that must have been scary, haha.

Did you have some sort of seizure because that's the only acceptable excuse in my eyes.

Well at least you didn't freak out and cry like some girl at my school when she had to sang the national anthem

It's just a song for the people who believe that their rock is better than others.

In the uk most people only know 2 lines if the National Anthem so just chill bout it, the uk lacks some patriotism aswell
