Don't ever sing Frank Sinatra's song "My Way" in the Philippines

The "My Way" killings are a social phenomenon in the Philippines, referring to a number of fatal disputes which arose due to the singing of the song "My Way", popularized by Frank Sinatra, in Karaoke bars.

The number of killings to be about six up to 2010. 

Another source estimates at least 12 between 2002-2012. 

Opinions differ over whether the possible connection is due to the coincidence that the song was simply frequently sung amid the nation's karaoke bars where violence is common or to the aggressive lyrics of the song itself.

Some Filipinos, even those who love the song, will not sing it in public in order to avoid trouble.

As of 2007, the song reportedly had been taken off of the playlists of karaoke machines in many bars in Manila after complaints about out-of-tune renditions of the song resulted in fights and deaths.
