Karaoke Singer Strips to ‘Hoobastank’

We’ve all heard bad karaoke singers, but a 28-year-old in Florida took the term 'bad karaoke' to a new level.

Police in Melbourne, Florida arrested the man after he stripped off all of his clothes during a karaoke performance at an Applebee’s restaurant and punched a store manager in the face.

According to the Detroit Free Press the guy took the stage during the restaurant’s weekly Monday karaoke night and decided to start disrobing during the song. The restaurant manager tried to stop it, but our guy punched him in the face and kept singing (and stripping). He was severely intoxicated (surprise!) and had to be subdued by police with a stun gun. He was charged with battery and disorderly conduct.

Now the real question you’re asking, what song was he singing?

Nelly?

Def Leppard?

Nope.

This guy got naked to Hoobastank’s ‘The Reason’. I’m not sure why that song would make anyone want to take their clothes off, but I this guy must have really gotten into it.

Strip karaoke just doesn't have much appeal for everyone else in the room.

What’s the worst rendition of a song you’ve heard at a karaoke night?

Police, TSAs and drive-thru attendants are generally not the best people to try out practical jokes on. You can end up with spit in your food, miss your flight for a cavity search, or end up in prison. Fortunately for this 15-year-old girl her accidental prank just landed her a little bit of hot water with police.

Authorities in Arkansas tracked down the girl who had sent a text message to an officer the read, “I hid the body ... now what?” It was a prank test gone horribly wrong.

According to CNET the girl said she had been inspired by a photo on Pinterest that said,

“When I’m bored, I send a text to a random number saying ‘I hid the body ... now what?’

She was bored. She had a cell phone. You can guess what she did.

She dialed in a random number from to 479-area code and sent the ‘body’ message. Her prank took a turn for the worse because the number she’d picked turned out to be a police detective. When you work on homicide cases, text messages about dead bodies are no laughing matter.

Police traced the text back to the girl’s phone and showed up to question her and her father. They let her off with a warning, but told her she could have been charged with initiating or circulating a false emergency report.

Guess who won’t be sending any text messages for awhile.
