Living this life is like trying to learn Latin in a Chinese firedrill

I've come to the sad conclusion that about half the people who listen to music don't actually LISTEN to the music AT ALL.

Why do I say this? Because half the people at karaoke sing songs that they apparently love or that are just the classics that everyone knows AND THEY FUCK IT UP! I think to myself "Have you ever heard this song before in your life?" because they fuck it up so badly. I just don't get how it can happen. You supposedly love this song, but you can't even remember how it goes let alone the words.

maybe they hear the song differently to you. maybe they're tone deaf (there is another technical term for it which was more accurate but I've only ever read it once therefore can't recall it immediately). or maybe they only think they can sing well :)

and of course im not including the aforementioned too much to drink which reduces inhibitions and pretty much everything else.
