My Way killings

The "My Way" killings were a social phenomenon in the Philippines, referring to a number of fatal disputes which arose from the singing of the song "My Way", popularized by Frank Sinatra,^[1] in karaoke bars (more commonly known as "videoke" in the Philippines). A New York Times article estimated the number of killings to be at least six as of 2010. Between 2002 and 2012, numerous people were killed for singing this song.^[2]

Explanations for these incidents differ, from the song being simply frequently sung among the nation's karaoke bars, where violence is common, to perceived aggression in the lyrics of the song.^[3]
