For some reason I remembered something today I forgot about for years. So, I thought I would ask if anyone else had any other painfully embarrassing situations they have been witness too. It does not even necessarily something you have done.
The one that I remembered is when I was in high school. One day, there was a “talent” show. The whole school was called into the gymnasium to witness this event. Do you remember the song from the “Karate Kid” movie? I think it was called “The Glory of Love” or something like that. The chorus was something like:
I am the man who will fight for your honor,
I’ll be the hero you’re thinking(??) of… dah-dah-dah.*
Anyhow, the singer had the highest voice I think I have heard for a man. Well, this young man (about 16?) decided HE was going to sing the song for the talent show.
In the same key.
Oh, did I mention he was 15-16 and still going through puberty?
Well this poor kid got about 10 words out of the whole song on key. 1/2 way through he stopped and the pianist just kept playing and he was just standing there, head down. After the song, some people clapped (to be nice?) but most just sat there, silent. He ran out of the gym. It was just awful… I felt so badly for him.
Anyone else?
