Talk:My Way killings

More likely everyone's just sick of it

Everyone can sing My Way. There's always someone who comes along and can't find any song on the list they can sing, and then they see My Way. Being slow and having almost no music, it's boring to listen to. It kills whatever atmosphere the previous singers have managed to get going.

Regular singers avoid it because they know no one will be entertained by oh that song again.

I think this article looks too hard for a more interesting explanation, and the sources cited are tabloid (the New York Times is a big paper including serious and tabloid articles). It's simply a song that annoys a lot of people that frequent karaoke events, and which gets sung a lot. Gronky (talk) 13:41, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

I just read the full lyrics on the net. The song is harmless. The sinister speculations on this site are altogether unfounded. 178.38.151.183 (talk) 22:47, 29 November 2014 (UTC)

The article skips two of the most likely explanations: karaoke attracts narcissistic, attention-seeking types with no singing skills; and this song has been co-opted by homosexual groups as some sort of unofficial anthem, to the point it was always sung at their marches back in the 90s and 2000s, matching the era with the most deaths. And don't forget Phillipines isn't exactly a gay-friendly country. 152.156.114.187 (talk) 03:15, 21 May 2025 (UTC)

I think you are right on the money and your observations are sharp as knives for any streetwise person who has been around the block. However, there are no sources to quote, afik. 190.0.150.19 (talk) 20:25, 22 May 2025 (UTC)
