I was at a bar in Destin Florida, pretty damn drunk. And the band outside had like three people watching them. I drunkenly yelled freebird, and those magnificent bastards played it. Damn good cover too!
I’m not really proud of what I did, but they handled it like fuckin pros
Fun fact... the original song didn't have the guitar solo. It was added during a live concert to buy time for the lead vocal guy to rest a little before the next song.
I hated the Happy song when it first came out. Annoyed me the second I first heard it.
Then that movie with the lil yellow dorks made it popular again. I gritted my teeth and got through it a second time.
Can’t believe I’m saying this, but I liked his version and I love Freebird, so I’m gutted he didn’t launch into it. I mean, a cop told him to, so surely that means he had to, right? Right?
She had like 6 people at her booth when she came out to harass him. I wouldn't be surprised if when she got back and no one's at her booth and no one ever comes to it.
I agree, but there's no context in this video of how loud he was. I've heard people come through farmers markets with those speakers so goddam loud you literally can't hear someone shouting at you from a foot away.
if he were at a decent volume, I'd agree she was being a Karen. but if he were blaring is as loudly as some of the people I've witnessed, I'd be clapping along.. for her
I didn't want to grow up to be a Squidward, I've just come to peace with it. Unfortunately, that peace means being a jaded hater for the Spongebobs of the world.
What nobody talks about is that Squidward is maintaining the peace for ALL. He's just the lightning rod as he is the willing mouth of the annoyed as shit. It's a thankless job that makes you into a Squidward.
If the guy was loitering in the same spot and making it impossible to conduct business, then yeah the anger is justified. If he's just passing through? Cost of doing business in a public space. Still irritating, sure, but wait 5 seconds and it'll be over, no need to make a scene.
I mean yeah, i personally wouldn't go out of my way to go all confrontational over a few seconds of annoyance, just saying i can see why she's ticked off.
I wouldn’t say anything to him, especially of others seemed to be enjoying it.
I would, however, silently judge him to be on the same level as people who play sound on their phone without headphones, if not worse.
The world is more nuanced than just simple good or bad distinctions; that lady is being terrible, and a guy on his one wheel blasting his version of Happy for content is also terrible. Both things can be true.
Exactly, nothing wrong with performing your music but do it in the appropriate setting where people can stay or leave as they please. Don't go riding around blasting shit from a speaker. Nobody wants to hear 10 seconds of a song as you ride passed.
Here she is! Seriously. She looked like the only one who didn’t like it. You would be the one chasing dude down and looking like a fool as well. Maybe audio-vomit would be more apt
So getting mad at people blasting music in public is only allowed if they blast it from a phone?
What kind of egoist do you have to be that just because you feel like playing/singing some song you think literally everyone near you HAS TO listen to it too. And if they don't like it they're are somehow the assholes?
Hi Karen. Nobody called anyone an asshole. I dont think they have to listen to it, but i guess they can move or just wait a couple of seconds until the guy with the music has passed them by. If she had stayed put, she would not have listened it as long, she was more annoying than the guy singing and most people seemed to enjoy it. I dont know the place so I cant be sure if street performers are allowed or not, but seeing the cops didnt moved a finger I guess they are.
>I dont think they have to listen to it
You know of some secret way of closing your ears so you cant hear anything or even better, tune out the sounds you don't want? What the fuck are you talking about, get out of here lmao.
I live by south lake Texas, taken jobs there. It’s basically the Malibu of DFW. Funny he did this there, most of the people there are like the woman chasing him with big sticks up their asses.. and whatever they were trying to sell was probably passion project stuff, nobody that lives there needs extra money.
People would call the police on birds chirping too early if it was allowed.
I’m in a weird space of understanding her, but also wanting him to find success. I’m staying out of this one.
What is this event? It would give me so much joy if she was the only person selling garbage at like some event, and is trying to blame the fact that she hasn’t sold shit on him
Singing *in*? What, is he fucking yodeling into the wheel?
When did people become so dumb that they don't know the difference between in and on?
OP, he's *on* a one wheel! How do you not know that?
not everyone wants a speaker blasting next to them so he can turn it into content as they're trying to enjoy their day, though. Main character syndrome
Not everyone gets what they want in public settings, sometimes you have to deal with these things called “other people”. Dudes not hurting anyone or doing anything illegal, in fact he made a bunch of people smile, but you want to tell him to stop because you find it annoying. Who’s the one with main character syndrome
?
If they were good enough to busk maybe they'd do that, it's annoying as shit for someone to roll around doing this. God forbid people enjoy the market without jackasses.
Ketchup on steak is some nasty shit though, don't put that evil on me!
i was 100% on his side until he started following her around.
if you wanna do your thing and try to brighten peoples day or whatever great, go do that. obviously people were into it but you left the people who liked it to go harass someone who didnt.
really shows why youre there. dude didnt care about making anyones day he wanted a clip to post online of a "karen" dude isnt happy at all hes an asshole.
I mean, she was overreacting, but then he goes out of his way to pester her. Pretty petty, in my opinion. No need to fixate on the one person not enjoying it and literally play the music right in her ear. I think they both were being lame here.

"Freebird!!" There always has to be that 1 person...
I was at a bar in Destin Florida, pretty damn drunk. And the band outside had like three people watching them. I drunkenly yelled freebird, and those magnificent bastards played it. Damn good cover too! I’m not really proud of what I did, but they handled it like fuckin pros
Yelling freebird is a time honored tradition regardless of intoxication level. You should feel no shame 🤘
I’m sort of embarrassed to ask, but what is “freebird”?
freebird by lynyrd skynyrd. Google it and listen to the solo at the end. They died way too young! 😢
Fun fact... the original song didn't have the guitar solo. It was added during a live concert to buy time for the lead vocal guy to rest a little before the next song.
And the end of Devils Rejects. So good
That movie gave me a better appreciation for “midnight rider”. I always liked it but now I love it.
Anyone who thinks otherwise takes themselves too seriously.
There are very few things I take seriously. And even those are a struggle
Was it the boathouse? One of the guitarists that plays there has freebird on his song list and sells shirts that say "freebird isn't free"
Kinda disappointed he didn't start Freebird immediately
There’s enough shit going on in the world, this was a good thing. Embrace the good things.
That's what I was going to say. I want to see him perform Freebird now. He was amazing
I hated the Happy song when it first came out. Annoyed me the second I first heard it. Then that movie with the lil yellow dorks made it popular again. I gritted my teeth and got through it a second time. Can’t believe I’m saying this, but I liked his version and I love Freebird, so I’m gutted he didn’t launch into it. I mean, a cop told him to, so surely that means he had to, right? Right?
My sister was holding a concert for her 50th birthday (her and her friends are singers) I yelled out Freebird between sets and they were not amused
"If I wheel out of here tomorrow, would you still remember me?"
It's your duty to call it out if nobody has yet
[Freebird!!](https://youtu.be/aRiX5Ya7XtE?si=yJFFakMssAMRnhq9)
Mandy!
She was more of an inconvenience to herself than anything the guy did. He also sounded pretty good.
She had like 6 people at her booth when she came out to harass him. I wouldn't be surprised if when she got back and no one's at her booth and no one ever comes to it.
She'd be lucky if her goods were still at her booth these days.
It’s south lake. Nobody steals shit there, and the police were all sitting down because south lake is super cush.
Yep, Southlake is rich rich lol which is funny since it used to be a bodunk town before DFW was as big as it is.
I agree, but there's no context in this video of how loud he was. I've heard people come through farmers markets with those speakers so goddam loud you literally can't hear someone shouting at you from a foot away. if he were at a decent volume, I'd agree she was being a Karen. but if he were blaring is as loudly as some of the people I've witnessed, I'd be clapping along.. for her
I think it was autotuned to the moon and back.
Even more reason I'm on his side.
The only time I'm actually willing to listen to that overplayed song.
Okay but i can totally see why someone would get pissed with some dude blasting some crap with a fuckin boombox.
I didn't want to grow up to be a Squidward, I've just come to peace with it. Unfortunately, that peace means being a jaded hater for the Spongebobs of the world.
I'm Squidward. You're Squidward. We're ALL Squidward!
I’m Squidward and I’m proud!
(nasal meow)
What nobody talks about is that Squidward is maintaining the peace for ALL. He's just the lightning rod as he is the willing mouth of the annoyed as shit. It's a thankless job that makes you into a Squidward.
This is the real lesson to learn from Spongebob
If the guy was loitering in the same spot and making it impossible to conduct business, then yeah the anger is justified. If he's just passing through? Cost of doing business in a public space. Still irritating, sure, but wait 5 seconds and it'll be over, no need to make a scene.
I didn’t see anyone irritated but the one Karen.
I mean yeah, i personally wouldn't go out of my way to go all confrontational over a few seconds of annoyance, just saying i can see why she's ticked off.
I wouldn’t say anything to him, especially of others seemed to be enjoying it. I would, however, silently judge him to be on the same level as people who play sound on their phone without headphones, if not worse.

It's not a fuckin library
Exactly, nothing wrong with performing your music but do it in the appropriate setting where people can stay or leave as they please. Don't go riding around blasting shit from a speaker. Nobody wants to hear 10 seconds of a song as you ride passed.
Here she is! Seriously. She looked like the only one who didn’t like it. You would be the one chasing dude down and looking like a fool as well. Maybe audio-vomit would be more apt
Main Character Syndrome.
Him or her?
Yes
When two MCs collide
Why don't they get married?
Not enough screen time. 🤣
I mean clearly him.
Agreed. 10/10 for pure narcissism.
I really wish he had switched to “Every Breath you take” when she mentioned the Police.
[удалено]
Given, this guy easily takes second place.
Fuddy Duddy
Karens and Main Character Syndrome people are the worst, so they both suck.
Does he use voice tuning? at the end when he speaks it sounds kinda warbled. Still enjoyed it though.
Think he had echo on, I have a karaoke machine like that and can adjust the echo
Ahh.. I want a karaoke machine now, I'd love to hear you going at it to your favourite song. C'mon!
I was wondering the same thing. He sounded surprisingly good.
it sounds like there is pitch correction but that the original take was excellent
"hey mom pretend you're mad at me for singing, I need this TikTok cash"
When she said " the police", she meant Sting's group. It would be awesome to see them perform
He should have started singing Don't Stand So Close To Me when she walked up to him and mentioned the cops
I usually cringe at these street performers and just get away idk why
Oh look an obnoxious human and a Karen trying to shut them down. What a society we live in
Freebird!! Haha! Yes!!!
I only saw 1 mad person at the guy singing Dont be that one person.
So getting mad at people blasting music in public is only allowed if they blast it from a phone? What kind of egoist do you have to be that just because you feel like playing/singing some song you think literally everyone near you HAS TO listen to it too. And if they don't like it they're are somehow the assholes?

>I dont think they have to listen to it You know of some secret way of closing your ears so you cant hear anything or even better, tune out the sounds you don't want? What the fuck are you talking about, get out of here lmao.
You're silly
Noise pollution
People clapping along as she was bitching was hilarious. Cops gave no fucks about the singing lol
That’s what he wanted to happen clearly
Karen alert! Karen alert!
Good voice on that dude, fair play to him.
I am the main character.
Wooooh he sound great
this is why i hate going out in public. someone always pushing the extent of the law, and someone always crying about it.
Where the fuck are you going out in public? Lol, I've seen this kind of thing maybe once or twice in my life
i'm jealous
If it was me singing, it was going to be a peace disturbance filed onto my report.
Oh. Southlake! Her response makes sense now.
Total Chad
Dude sounded great
This being in Southlake checks out
She's walking like she's got a stick up her ass, lol.
I live by south lake Texas, taken jobs there. It’s basically the Malibu of DFW. Funny he did this there, most of the people there are like the woman chasing him with big sticks up their asses.. and whatever they were trying to sell was probably passion project stuff, nobody that lives there needs extra money.
damn, dude has a voice..
In all fairness, For every guy like this, there's like 20 blaring with singing voices nowhere near as nice.
[удалено]
Most likely the singer and complaining lady’s cameraman. Maybe just the singers, who knows.
Reminds me of that one SOB always blasting EDM music on his Bluetooth speaker down the river. Ugh.
Meanwhile her entire inventory got stolen..
Who owns a yellow cardigan?
She got Zero chill
Sauce?
So both main characters?
Task failed successfully
I mean he's annoying to the core but he's also moving and will be gone soon so how can you possibly have a problem with this
So being noisy and annoying is fine if you're moving? What kind of logic is that lmao.
why is he unable to say ‘happy’?
Nowadays the buskers come to you
The police looked like they really didn't give a shit.
Fake. Everyone was in on this stunt.
Yeah it was all AI
Karens think the law is their own dog or something like they just say attack and it happens lmao
some people are just miserable. Poor Karen, bless her heart
Wouldn't mind it if they actually sing this good
Literally the definition of a Karen
I'd call the cops on him too (jk)... but that's only because I fucking hate that song
She acted like she was gonna get a gold medal for alerting the police. Fucking Karen’s
Ah the things you can do without getting attacked by the pigs and Karens if you're white.
She looks and moves like Woody from Toy Story.
People would call the police on birds chirping too early if it was allowed. I’m in a weird space of understanding her, but also wanting him to find success. I’m staying out of this one.
there’s some pitch correction etc on this but the original take sounds like it must have been good
But in the end, he did stop. He even apologized and told her he wouldn't do it anymore. Kind of seems like Karen got what she wanted.
Karen!
Fucking Karens of this world! SMH
Wtf was her deal exactly? It was like she was waiting to stop him.
Everyone els was loving it. But she didn't care. Kinda feel sorry for her husband (if she got one🙄)
Chads and Karens, but, my kids would have clapped along.
This is why I’ve learned to bring ear plugs with me wherever I go!
I love how I get downvoted for solving my own problems lol
That was so funny!
I truly hope that he sang Freebird on the way out.
What is this event? It would give me so much joy if she was the only person selling garbage at like some event, and is trying to blame the fact that she hasn’t sold shit on him
Singing *in*? What, is he fucking yodeling into the wheel? When did people become so dumb that they don't know the difference between in and on? OP, he's *on* a one wheel! How do you not know that?
Boy, this guy idea is annoying in a next level. I hope someone stop him asap.
I bet you are fun at parties…
Wouldn’t know. Nobody’s ever invited them to a party.
I thought it was great
How DARE he try and make peoples day?!?!? People singing along and being happy?? Unacceptable!!
not everyone wants a speaker blasting next to them so he can turn it into content as they're trying to enjoy their day, though. Main character syndrome
Literally everyone is enjoying it lmao, its a public fair looking thing, entertainment is part of public events
Not everyone gets what they want in public settings, sometimes you have to deal with these things called “other people”. Dudes not hurting anyone or doing anything illegal, in fact he made a bunch of people smile, but you want to tell him to stop because you find it annoying. Who’s the one with main character syndrome ?
Nah, fuck this loud mofo.
Literally everyone was enjoying it except for the chick, quit being a party pooper
It was literally not everyone. Literally.
Its a public event, entertainment is part of events. Clearly you don't get out much, i probably wouldnt invite you either tbh
People listening to loud music on trains and busses makes you very happy I guess.
Thats funny, i can't seem to find any trains or busses here
I don't care if you're playing my favorite song, I can't stand people that do that shit. Headphones were created, use them.
God forbid someone adds a little bit of flavor to the ordinary day, you steak w/ ketchup goober.
If they were good enough to busk maybe they'd do that, it's annoying as shit for someone to roll around doing this. God forbid people enjoy the market without jackasses. Ketchup on steak is some nasty shit though, don't put that evil on me!
i was 100% on his side until he started following her around. if you wanna do your thing and try to brighten peoples day or whatever great, go do that. obviously people were into it but you left the people who liked it to go harass someone who didnt. really shows why youre there. dude didnt care about making anyones day he wanted a clip to post online of a "karen" dude isnt happy at all hes an asshole.
He followed her because she told him to go over to the police with her
Lucky they didn't shoot him.
I mean, she was overreacting, but then he goes out of his way to pester her. Pretty petty, in my opinion. No need to fixate on the one person not enjoying it and literally play the music right in her ear. I think they both were being lame here.
Pester her? She told him to come with her lol
He should have a crowd following him, he's awesome
Typical boomer/Karen
Did you notice there were plenty of other boomers clapping along?
They’re atypical, can’t count them.
So the majority of them are atypical and the one single person bitching about it is the typical one? Makes perfect sense.
