Filipino Karaoke’s “Song of Death” | Tales From the Bottle
Looking for the “killer” karaoke song for your performances? Well, unless you mean that in the literal sense, maybe stay away from this song…
“The “My Way” killings are a social phenomenon in the Philippines, referring to a number of fatal disputes which arose due to the singing of the song “My Way”, popularized by Frank Sinatra (peaking at number 27 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1969), in karaoke bars (more commonly known as “videoke” in the Philippines). A New York Times article estimated the number of killings to be about six up to 2010. Between 2002 and 2012, numerous people were killed for singing this song.
Explanations for these incidents differ from the song being simply frequently sung among the nation’s karaoke bars where violence is common or to perceived aggressive lyrics of the song.”
