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.

I think for a lot of people, they love these classical songs, but don't hear them too often, and only really know the chorus properly.

I know that a lot of the songs that people sing there, i know the chorus pretty much off by heart but i wouldn't have a clue what most of the words are for the rest of the song.
