The recent karaoke-based violence in Wallingford at first seems surprising. A "little hippy girl" freaked out on a guy who was attempting to sing Cold Play's Yellow and was so incensed that she went so far as to headbut arresting officers as they were restraining her on the pavement outside of Changes. However, Seattlest is surprised the guy wasn't bum rushed by the entire bar. Check out this video: see if you can last one minute without wanting to cold cock the guy.
From the P-I's hilarious account:
"It took three or four of us to hold her down," said Robert Willmette, one of the bartenders at Changes.The woman, Willmette said, "went crazy" when she got outside, punching him twice in the face, and throwing blows at the others gathered around her.
But the person who drew most of the music critic's ire was an off-duty Seattle police officer. The off-duty officer identified herself as a cop, gave her badge number and had another patron call 911 to request help for an officer.
The response was fast and overwhelming, with both patrol officers and Gang Unit detectives converging on the normally tame neighborhood bar.
"They blocked the whole street off," Willmette said.
According to the police report, the woman's rage only grew when the uniformed officers arrived.

This song is stuck in my head now, and just a minute ago in the elevator I caught myself doing the little air guitar strums the guy in the video does.
I don't know, I thought it was a lovely, earnest interpretation of that song. I'd think it was cocky if he didn't look so damned sincere. I'm not saying I'd buy his CD if he were to make one of just him singing that over and over again, but it beats Chocolate Rain.
Can we get that girl to be in like a little pen during American Idol? And if home voters decide, she gets to savage any singers that do poorly?
It's Coldplay
