I have, more than once, drunkenly belted a well-known tune in an ill-conceived effort to make fun of myself (and win the admiration and validation of the faceless masses, let's be honest).

Interesting responses thus far. Yours is closest to my one and only act: I pick "Sweet Caroline" and scream the song at the top of my lungs a la Sam Kinison, e.g. "good times never felt so good AND THEN YOU SLEPT AROUND ON ME YOU BITCH WHORE SLUUT I HOPE YOU DIE AND GO TO HELL OH OOOOOOOOOOOOOH". This of course receives a tepid response by those who take it more seriously, but I enjoy it.

I guess I have a case of stage fright where I can't bring myself to belt out a tune in earnest and risk public rejection, but at the same time I'm baffled when I see things like a chick singing the theme to "Titanic" and acting all like she's on stage at the Grammys.
