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

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I auditioned for the musical at my school. Before I sang my song, I gave my music to the director. She said "Oh, I love this song!". After I sang it, she told me, "It's okay, I still like the song." FML
Today, I was at a band concert with 500 other people. The song they were performing stopped, and I loved it so much I stood up and clapped. Everyone stared, while I slowly realized the song wasn't over. FML
Today, I was listening to music with headphones in my usually quiet class. At one point I really got into the song so I just quietly sang along because why not. Turns out by the end of the song I was singing at full volume, almost yelling, and my friend stopped me to say that. The entire back row was laughing. FML
Today, I went to see one of my favorite bands. When they started playing my favorite song I whipped out my video camera and sang along. As I was reviewing the video later, I realized that I couldn't even hear the band over my horrible singing. 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
Today, during an important music audition, I fudged everything up and forgot half the lyrics of the song I was performing, so I just sort of tailed off into embarrassed silence on stage. It was an original song, I wrote the lyrics myself. All the lady could say was, "Good luck next year, dear." FML
Today, thinking I was alone in a public bathroom, I started singing the words to my favorite song. A minute later that I heard a toilet flush, so I just sat there petrified. The other person sarcastically picked up the singing from where I left off. FML
Today, out of pure boredom, I decided to listen to the soundtrack from a musical. When I got to the love song, I thought about my anxiety and where I stood with this one guy, and ended up crying to myself. The musical was Jesus Christ Superstar. FML
Today, I gathered the courage to sing karaoke after saying no for years. The lyrics screen froze halfway through the song, and everyone expected me to keep going from memory since I picked it. It turns out I only knew the chorus. I hummed for an entire verse as bemused strangers politely clapped along. 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

This may just be my opinion, but I think it would be rude for someone in the audience to be belting out the songs. Be respectful to the people on stage...

This. I'm in choir, and if someone did this in a concert (even if we were still singing) my director would not be happy. And we'd probably make fun of that person for a while... So if you're mortified, you are rightfully so. But hey, you'll live it down. Just don't join in next time you're in a musical.

even if you were singing the correct song, that's quite possibly the rudest thing you could do while attending a musical

So YOU'RE that self-centered asshole who thinks everyone else wants to hear them sing, when they paid good money to go to a live show! Jesus. What are you, 3?

Did you continue to sing or did you get kicked out by the audience via peaceful harmonic mob?

unlike all of these other jerks, I feel bad for you. I could totally see my self doing this and I would be horribly out of tune!!!

Singing at musicals is totally inappropriate. People pay LOTS of money to go to them. Singing along will get you kicked out of the theatre, and it is also quite possibly the rudest gesture an audience member can do to a cast member.

How could you not have noticed that the song was instrumental.
