The song “My Way” by Frank Sinatra has been responsible for the deaths of multiple people in karaoke bars in the Philippines since 1998. The phenomenon, known as the “My Way Killings,” has led some bars to remove the song from their karaoke machines. In one case, a security guard shot and killed a man for singing the song out of tune. The reason behind the violence is unclear, but some speculate that the song’s message of asserting oneself and masculine energy may provoke aggression in listeners.
