Coldplay Singer Gets Coldcocked (http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/years/2007/0810072coldplay1.html)

AUGUST 10--A Washington man's karaoke performance of a Coldplay song apparently triggered a female bar patron to attack him early yesterday at a Seattle bar. According to a Seattle Police Department report, a copy of which you can find below, Lindsey Lawrence, 21, assaulted the unnamed victim while he was performing with "two other subjects" at Changes Tavern, where patrons sing karaoke Wednesday and Thursday night from 9 PM until 1 AM. When the assault victim launched into Coldplay's "Yellow," Lawrence allegedly told the man that his "singing sucked" and that the song "fucking sucked." She then grabbed at the man's microphone and "pushed him and punched him in order to get him to stop singing,"

Between this hottie and the woman who shot the homeless guy who asked for a quarter, this is the best birthday I've ever had!

He got off easy.

[Ritalin]

If he was singing "Sister Christian", he'd be dead.

Or "Desperado"

[TheMojoPin]

Dude was asking for it.

Read the rest of the article...the described "little hippie chick" then tried to take on the bar's staff and then the cops, all after only be served a single shot of Jager.

Now, if someone could have the same reaction when Chris Martin sings "Yellow", we'd really be getting somewhere.

Or "Desperado"

When i was in college, there was this kid (think Wormser from Revenge of the Nerds) who would sing Desperado all the time. Reason? It was Terry Funk's theme song. Nothing like that destroys the vibe in a bar.

I was in a karaoke bar once - ONCE - with my then girlfriend, sitting at the bar and talking quietly to each other. The "singer" walked over to us, wagged his finger at us, did the shh sign and continued his song.

[FUNKMAN]

don't hate the coldplayer, hate the game...

now if it was John Mayer I could understand

[Jughead]

This is exactly why I have never been in a karaoke bar!!!

[riverofpiss]

The critic called the British group "the most insufferable band of the decade," adding that, "the lyrics can make me wish I didn't understand English."

Exactly

[Ritalin]

I do like the kareoke, though.

If you get me drunk and high enough, I do a kickass version of Prince's "Kiss".

[IMSlacker]

This makes me want to go out to a karaoke bar tonight! It's open season baby! My first target is gonna be the gang of college kids who do a group rendition of "Love Shack".

[epo]

Karaoke must be stopped! The minimum punishment for singing Coldplay should be a Mussolini-style death.

Seriously though once in my life I was drunk enough to sing karaoke....and belted out a version of "Stay with me" by the Faces. Even hammered I had the good sense to sing something that works in a bar.

[weekapaugjz]

i can relate to this chick. i have been told that at a bar, i once threatened to kick a dude's ass who was dancing to a U2 song. i was then kindly escorted out of the bar. i was black out drunk and don't remember it, but my bro and his girlfriend remind me of it all the time. god, i hate U2.

[yeti]

Fuck him, he's lucky she didn't put the mic down his throat.

[Gmann]

Nothing is worse that the group of 21-23 yr old girls drunk, each of them with a mic in their hand AND singing Paradise By The Dashboard Light.

That song just doesn't fucking end!!!!

You start praying for someone to come along with a steel chair and nail each one of them in the had.

I don't mean to sound degrading but with a face like that you got nothing to laugh about.

I told her I would pay her cab fare home
or that she could use my best cologne
and all I asked was that she wasn't there in the morning....

:smile:

[PapaBear]

I feel like punching someone just for having to see the word "Coldplay".

[thepaulo]

Ok, why is no one quoting this one as one the best replies to a thread ever. I totally agree. It is one thing to do a song you are ok with, another that just fucking tortures the audience. I wish for IED's when I hear chicks singing long ass songs they have no business singing.

It's been a while since I've been in the "bar scene". Where does one go about finding roofies?

OK... Now I want to see a Mentos "fresh maker" parody, but with roofies.

[Fallon]

God, you can't take Doogie anywhere!

[cougarjake13]

"Roofies...das rape-maker?"

[K.C.]

I think I found my future wife...

I love her...and am in full agreement. How dare some ham-n-egger sing Coldplay in the hometown of Grunge?

[scottinnj]

god, i hate U2.

You are a heathen communist.

Let this woman out of jail right now and drop all charges. She's a prophet.
